What happened
A twin-engine cargo flight originated in Örebro, destined for Budapest with a scheduled stop in Szczecin. The flight was operated with two pilots and one passenger on board. While the aircraft was at cruising altitude over Rønne, Denmark, the crew observed a warning light on the cockpit panel signaling a low fuel condition. Despite being approximately 150 km from the intended destination of Szczecin Airport, the crew elected to proceed with the flight.
During the subsequent descent into Szczecin, both engines ceased operation at the same time. In an attempt to manage the emergency, the crew directed the twin-engine aircraft toward an open field located roughly 30 km north of the airport. The aircraft traveled several dozen meters across the terrain before coming to a stop in a ravine.
Findings
- The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
- There were zero fatalities and zero injuries among the three occupants.
- The primary factor leading to the emergency was the simultaneous loss of power from both engines following a low fuel warning.
