What happened
During an approach to Milan-Linate Airport, a twin engine aircraft experienced mechanical difficulties involving its engines. While operating in weather conditions characterized by heavy fog and limited visibility, the pilot attempted to lower the flight altitude to facilitate an emergency landing.
As the aircraft descended, it struck the ground in a field situated in Sant’Angelo Lodigiano, approximately 23 km southeast of the destination airport. The impact resulted in two fatalities, as both occupants on board were killed in the accident.
Findings
- The flight was conducted during periods of marginal weather with poor visibility caused by fog.
- The crew encountered engine problems prior to the impact.
