The float-equipped DHC-2 Beaver had taken off under VFR conditions from the Water Aerodrome Hamburg Norderelbe for a passenger sightseeing flight over the city. The seaplane took off from the main channel of the River Elbe in an easterly direction, before commencing a right turn towards the south. Witnesses subsequently reported that, as the aircraft overflew Veddeler Damm road, there was an interruption to the engine sound. The witnesses said the aircraft then descended without any engine sound and turned towards the east.
The seaplane then made an emergency landing on the Hamburg-South Harbour freight railway yard, during which it collided with obstacles. At this time, five occupants suffered fatal injuries. One passenger was seriously injured and the aircraft destroyed.
The accident took place during initial climb after the take-off and was due to the following immediate causes:
- Prior to reaching circuit height, there was an interruption of the fuel supply between the fuel pump and carburettor, followed by the outbreak of fire and engine failure.
- During this phase of the flight, there was no suitable area for an emergency landing within reach.
The following systematic causes also led to the accident:
- The departure route laid down in the approval for the water aerodrome did not take into account the need for a suitable landing area in the event of an aircraft emergency for the aircraft used and this particular flight phase.
