What happened
During the final approach phase toward runway 08 at Innsbruck-Kranebitten Airport, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of control. Immediately after receiving clearance to land, the plane entered a right bank and subsequently stalled. The impact occurred in the Inn River, approximately 350 meters before reaching the threshold of the runway.
The accident resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft and seven fatalities, with no survivors among the occupants.
Findings
Investigations into the crash identified that the right engine ceased functioning during the approach due to fuel exhaustion. The official inquiry concluded that the crew did not sufficiently prepare for the flight, specifically failing to carry enough fuel for the intended mission. Additionally, the crew's limited experience operating this specific aircraft type was noted as a contributing factor to the accident.
