Narrative:
The plane had just taken off from Stockholm Bromma airport, when the right engine stalled. The pilot tried to restart the engine with no result and called Bromma Tower to get the position of runway 12 as the ILS was not functioning.
The aircraft however glided to the right and he missed the runway.
Unable to get climb and do another try, he instead turned 180 degrees and decided to make an emergency landing in a small wooded area. The plane crashed into some trees and caught fire.
All passengers escaped and the pilot was pulled out by people that witnessed the crash.

The cause of the accident was that the PPRV-unit was faulty which caused the engine to stall and that the pilot did not know how to fly the plane with only one working engine and therefore lost height too fast.
