The aircraft took off from the Doade firefighting base at around 11:35, to make a transfer flight, under visual flight rules, to the Córdoba Airport.
About 30 minutes after takeoff, the pilot contacted the base by telephone, informing that the weather conditions did not allow the flight to continue to the destination, nor to the alternative airports of Salamanca or Valladolid. He communicated that he was proceeding to León Airport.
This was the last communication with the aircraft, as there was no response to subsequent calls.
The search for the aircraft began the same day, although it was not located until October 21.
The aircraft had crashed into the terrain in the Sierra Segundera, in an area located at an altitude of about 1850 meters.
As a result of the crash, the pilot died and the aircraft was destroyed.
