The aircraft, registration EC-XMF, had taken off around 10:40 hours (Local Time) from Viladamat airfield, with the pilot and a passenger on board, to make a local flight.
After a little over an hour's flight, they returned to the field, joining the left-hand downwind section of the airfield traffic circuit, to land on runway 09.
On the final leg of the approach, the end of the aircraft's right-hand half-wing impacted a tree branch, which turned to the right and plunged into the ground. The two occupants were unharmed and the aircraft suffered significant damage.
Causes
The investigation has determined that the probable cause of the accident was the incorrect execution of the landing maneuver, with the aircraft positioned to the right of the runway, and with an indicated speed lower than that established in the aircraft's Flight Manual, during the final approach for landing.
