A BRM Citius aircraft, participating in a combined air tour called Raid Ibérico, was preparing to perform the leg between Espinho and Sintra with a pilot and a passenger on board. During the take-off run from runway 17, the aircraft became airborne with little speed and without the pilot having made the necessary wind correction.
After reaching a few metres off the ground, the aircraft entered into an asymmetrical stall to the left, plummeting onto the ground left of the runway.
