Weather conditions were poor with low clouds as the PD.808 approached San Sebastian. The airplane was coming from the sea but had to carry out a missed approach. Contrary to published procedures the aircraft turned right instead of left. The aircraft flew into the side of Mount Jaizkibel, near San Sebastian, 40 ft from the top.
The airplane operated on a demonstration flight for Italian industrialist Lino Zanussi.
