The Tecnam Astore, registration EC-XMP, was on a recreational flight near the municipality of Almodóvar del Campo when it began experiencing intermittent indications of available fuel pressure in the cockpit.
Concerned about the possibility of an engine shutdown, the pilot decided to carry out an emergency landing on a forest runway. The touchdown was abrupt, resulting in multiple bounces on the terrain, which caused the collapse of the nose landing gear.
The aircraft sustained significant damage to the nose landing gear, the front of the aircraft, the radiator, and the propeller.
The pilot emerged uninjured and was able to exit the aircraft under their own power.
