The Tecnam P92 Echo S, with registration EC-EK4, took off from the Garray Airfield carrying the pilot and a passenger on board.
Their final destination was the Muchamiel Airport (Alicante), and they intended to land at the Requena Airfield to refuel.
When they were flying over the Sierra de Albarracín, they saw how the clouds were descending in level and, realizing that it was not possible to continue the flight in VFR conditions, they looked for a field to land.
After 40 minutes flying over the area, they landed in a plowed field, and during the landing the aircraft overturned.
The occupants were unharmed and exited the aircraft under their own power.
The aircraft sustained significant damage.
Causes / Contributing Factors:
The cause of the accident was poor flight planning that led to making an emergency landing on a field that was not prepared, as a result of degraded visibility conditions.
