On May 14, 2000, an air festival was scheduled to take place at Cordoba Airport. On May 13, at mid morning, the pilot of the Hispano Aviacion HA-200, registration EC-GLX, a participant registered in the festival, presented a local flight plan in order to practice some of the acrobatic figures to be performed in the festival.
The aircraft, with the pilot and a mechanic companion, took off on runway 21 at around 13:15 HL and according to the testimony of different people professionally related to the aerodrome, flew for a few minutes outside the circuit and then headed, in level flight, to the aerodrome. In the vicinity of the airfield, the aircraft performed a series of maneuvers that resulted in its fall, practically vertically, and even violently hitting the ground in an area located between the runway and the aircraft parking platform.
Causes
The most probable cause of the accident was the execution of an acrobatic maneuver with little margin of flight height and with little experience on the part of the pilot in carrying out this type of maneuver with this aircraft.
