Cessna 150M OK-WWW Crash Near Javorník

Incident Overview and Location Details On May 13, 2010, a Cessna 150M with the registration OK-WWW crashed in a wooded area on a slope near the Javorník lookout tower. The accident occurred at 10:52 UTC, approximately 162 meters southwest of the Javorník peak. The aircraft was operated by Aviatický klub, s r.o., and was on a visual flight rules (VFR) flight without a filed flight plan. ## Flight Sequence and Operational Context The aircraft departed from LKRO in the morning and landed at LKST around 09:47 UTC. The pilot then departed LKST at 10:25 UTC for a flight toward Vacov and the villages of Čábuze and Zdíkov. Radar data indicated the aircraft was flying at approximately 90 knots ground speed. The pilot entered meteorological conditions that did not meet the requirements for continued VFR flight and contacted the FIC Prague for assistance. ## Emergency Response and Investigation The pilot requested help to resolve the difficult situation but did not climb to the altitude recommended by the FIC dispatcher, which would have ensured a safe vertical distance from the ground. The aircraft struck a forest on a slope near the Javorník lookout tower. The impact with the trees caused the destruction of the aircraft and its fall to the ground in an inverted position. The pilot suffered severe injuries and died in the hospital, while the passenger sustained fatal injuries. The aircraft was destroyed. ## Safety and Regulatory Context The accident was reported to the Czech Police and the emergency services by witnesses. An inspector from the Institute for Professional Investigation of Causes of Aviation Accidents (ÚZPLN) arrived at the scene the same day to collect information. The final report was issued on September 13, 2010, and is intended solely for safety recommendations and cannot be used to establish fault or liability.
