| Executive Summary: | On the 25th of June of 1997, a Sukhoi 26M aircraft with registration number RA01295, took off from the Sabadell airport at 18:40 hours1 with one crew member on board. It was supposed to carry out an acrobatic training flight and return to the airfield. It had a normal take off, but upon reaching 1000 feet of altitude it communicated to the control tower that it was having engine problems and that it would attempt to return to the airfield. The pilot attempted to return to the field and began to turn towards the left. According to witness testimonies the engine stopped and the aircraft went into a flat spin. Just before the impact, an attempt was made to restart the engine. The impact occurred approximately 1 kilometre away from the end of runway 13. |
