What happened
A twin-engine aircraft was operating a local skydiving mission out of Empuriabravia Airfield. Following the completion of all jumps, the aircraft began its return to the airfield. While performing the final approach, the pilot experienced mechanical issues with the engines. In an attempt to recover, the pilot initiated a go-around procedure. During this maneuver, the aircraft lost altitude and collided with trees, resulting in a crash located before the runway threshold.
Findings
The accident resulted in one fatality, involving the pilot who was the only person on board the aircraft at the time of the impact. The sequence of events indicates that engine problems led to a loss of altitude during the transition to a go-around, causing the aircraft to strike obstacles near the airfield.
