The pilot, accompanied by three passengers, members of his family, took off at 16 h 35 min from the aerodrome of Kassel (Germany) for a private flight in IFR bound for that of Toulouse-Blagnac. After approximately three hours of flight, it was cleared for the approach, then benefited from radar guidance for the ILS of runway 14R. During the last exchange with the controller, while the aircraft was on final at 900 feet in height, the pilot specified that he had a problem, without specifying its nature because the message was interrupted. Shortly thereafter, radar and radio contacts were lost. The wreckage was found near the threshold of runway 14R.
The pilot and the three passengers died. The plane is destroyed.
- Cause:
An anomaly in the right engine probably generated traction asymmetry. The pilot probably did not react early enough to the decrease in speed and probably had difficulty controlling the asymmetry of traction before losing control of the aircraft.
The pursuit of a rapid arrival without external visual references, the probable fascination with the objective, insufficient and inappropriate type rating training could have contributed to the occurrence of this accident.
The theoretical and practical training of aircraft flight crews and the monitoring of training organizations were the subject of five safety recommendations.
