What happened
During a local training session conducted at Lille-Lesquin Airport, the crew was performing a series of touch-and-go maneuvers. As the aircraft was on its final approach and nearing the point of touchdown, it suddenly became uncontrollable. The plane struck the runway, resulting in an accident that caused the aircraft to be destroyed beyond repair. There were two fatalities among the crew, consisting of the instructor and a student pilot.
Findings
Investigations into the crash revealed that the accident was triggered when one propeller entered reverse pitch mode immediately before the aircraft reached the runway. This unexpected mechanical change caused a sudden loss of airspeed and altitude, making it impossible for the crew to maintain control of the flight path.
