Fatal training flight accident at Nagoya-Komaki Airport

4 fatalities • Nagoya-Komaki, Japan • Flight

A training flight involving a four-person crew ended in a fatal crash near Nagoya-Komaki Airport after the aircraft lost control during a maneuver.

What happened

During a local training mission operating out of Nagoya-Komaki Airport, an aircraft was performing maneuvers at an altitude of approximately 3,500 feet. While the pilot-in-command was executing a 360-degree turn, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of control. This resulted in a rapid descent into a nearby field situated only a few kilometers from the airfield.

The impact of the crash resulted in four fatalities, with no survivors among the crew members on board.

Findings

Preliminary assessments suggest that the accident occurred because the aircraft stalled during the final turn. This aerodynamic stall was reportedly triggered by insufficient airspeed maintained during the maneuver.

Probable cause

The aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall due to inadequate airspeed during a 360-degree turn.
