Accident Overview
A twin-engine aircraft departed Riga for Tukums with eight people on board to participate in an airshow. Several other aircraft were also en route to Tukums, but most pilots returned to their departure point due to deteriorating weather conditions.
Approach and Crash
On approach to Tukums Airport runway 32, the pilot encountered poor visibility. Unable to establish visual contact with the runway, he initiated a go-around procedure. After several circuits, he attempted a second approach under VFR mode. The aircraft descended too low, struck a hill, and eventually crashed in a private garden, coming to rest broken in two.
Occupants and Injuries
All eight occupants were injured, some seriously. Few hours after the accident, the pilot died from his injuries.
