| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
On the flight the pilot reported “on top” over Samedan and requested landing clearance. The pilot was flying in an easterly direction, where the cloud cover was broken in places. A few minutes later, eyewitnesses saw the aircraft crash vertically in an uncontrolled attitude. All 5 occupants were killed. A two year old child was under the victims.
Causes
The accident is attributable to the fact that during an attempt to get below the clouds for the approach to Samedan, control of the aircraft was lost and it crashed into the ground.
Exceeding the maximum permissible mass and the tail-heavy condition of the aircraft may have contributed to the accident.
