What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from runway 27 at Sevilla-San Pablo Airport, a twin engine aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving the right engine. This loss of power caused the aircraft to roll toward the right side. As the flight progressed, the plane lost necessary altitude and impacted the ground approximately 1,500 metres beyond the runway threshold.
The impact and subsequent intense post-crash fire resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were three fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft, with no survivors reported from the crew or passengers.
Findings
- The primary factor in the loss of control was a failure of the right engine during the takeoff climb.
