What happened
During a repositioning flight traveling from Mora toward Gävle, a twin engine airplane encountered difficult weather conditions while traversing the Borlänge region. While navigating through marginal visibility, the pilot incorrectly configured the aircraft's instruments, leading to an unintended descent toward Borlänge-Dala Airport rather than the intended destination of Gävle-Sandviken Airport, which was situated approximately 85 km to the east.
As the flight progressed, the crew attempted to locate the correct airfield but was unable to do so due to the low visibility. Following two unsuccessful approach attempts, the aircraft impacted a hillside located roughly 4 km south of Borlänge. There was one fatality resulting from the impact, as the pilot was the only person on board at the time of the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor in the accident was pilot error regarding instrument settings, which caused the aircraft to deviate from its intended flight path and altitude.
