An Extra 330LX crashed at Częstochowa-Rudniki Airport (CZW/EPRU) when performing aerobatics. The aircraft came down near the airport's runway and the extent of the damage suggests a near vertical crash with high energy.
The plane crashed while returning from aerobatics training flight. While returning, a 50m agl knife-edge low pass was performed over the airfield and during a subsequent climb, the engine stopped due to fuel starvation at 150m agl. This was followed by a spin and crash.
Both occupants died and the aircraft was destroyed.
Cause of the accident.
- Inadequate calculation of the amount of fuel needed to fly, which led to the engine's engine failing due to lack of fuel.
- Turning the aircraft during a turn with high bank angle at low altitude with no engine running.
