On August 29, 2003, at 1810 coordinated universal time, a Cessna 172N, EC-EUK, was destroyed when it impacted terrain, shortly after takeoff from La Axarquia Aerodrome (LEAX), Malaga, Spain. The foreign-certificated pilot and three passengers were fatally injured. Weather at the time of the accident was unknown.
According to the Spanish Air Accident Investigation Commission (CIAIAC), the airplane had completed a second tough-and-go landing. During the initial climb, witnesses observed the airplane enter a steep nose down attitude. The airplane subsequently impacted the ground, and a post crash fire ensued.
Causes
The probable cause of the accident is considered to be a loss of control of the aircraft at the end of an ascent manoeuvre after take-off, or which could have been initiated from a height close to the ground on the runway of the Aeródromo de la Axarquía, and carried out with a high rate of climb and a high pitch angle. As a consequence of the loss of control, a stall occurred, followed by the start of a spiral, at a height above the ground which prevented the recovery of control.
