Narrative:A Beechcraft 300 Super King Air airplane was destroyed when it impacted a wooded hillside while on approach to Donaueschingen-Villingen Airport (ZQL), Germany.
All four on board were killed.
The airplane had performed several approaches to the airport to calibrate the DVI NDB and DON DME beacons and was returning to land when the accident happened.
The accident in which the aircraft during VFR final approach suffered a controlled flight into wooded terrain is due to the fact that:
- A change of flight rules was conducted from IFR to VFR, although the conditions were not appropriate; and
- The descent was continued with insufficient visibility.
Contributing to the causes:
- No "Approach Briefing", no "callouts" and not a "checklist approach" were used;
- The second pilot was procedurally not involved in the flight deck work processes and decision-making;
- For the approach navigation data was used from the Flight Management System (FMS III) which was intended exclusively for flight inspection purposes;
- measurement was done by the navigational aid engineer.
