Narrative: The aircraft took off from Reus airport with a student pilot on board, with the intention of performing a local instruction flight under visual flight rules.
After takeoff, the aircraft headed towards the departure point E of the Reus airport CTR. Shortly after passing this point, the pilot radioed the air traffic control unit to declare an emergency due to engine failure.
The pilot made an emergency landing in a vineyard located in the municipality of Sant Jaume dels Domenys (Tarragona).
During the landing run, the aircraft was significantly damaged, mainly affecting the landing gear, propeller and front part of the fuselage.
The pilot was unharmed.
Causes/contributing factors
The investigation has concluded that the accident was probably caused by the emergency landing, which itself was the result of engine failure during the flight.
Contributing factors:
• Incorrect identification of the fault with the engine, which led the pilot to assume that the engine had stopped entirely.
• Late detection of the power line located very near to the site chosen for the landing, which prevented the landing taking place in the chosen location and with the intended heading.
