Accident Details
A twin-engine aircraft departed Aschaffenburg Airport for a training flight to Hahn with two pilots on board: an instructor and a pilot under supervision completing his type rating qualification. While on approach to Hahn Airport runway 03, at an altitude of 4,350 feet and a speed of 150 knots, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent. The rate of descent reached up to 2,800 feet during the last four seconds before the aircraft crashed in an almost vertical position in a wooded area approximately 9 km short of the runway. The aircraft disintegrated on impact, and both occupants were killed.
Weather Conditions
At the time of the accident, weather conditions were reported as overcast with few clouds at 200 feet, light rain possible on approach, moderate icing conditions possible in clouds, visibility of one kilometer, and an RVR for runway 03 of 1,300 meters.
Investigation
Due to the extreme degree of destruction of the aircraft, it was not possible to determine if a possible technical issue was the cause of the accident, but this was not ruled out.
