All four occupants were killed in the accident last November in St. Andrä. According to a report, human error led to the accident.
The Cirrus SR-20 machine was en route from Croatia to Austria in early November 2023. The sports plane crashed in bad weather in St. Andrä im Lungau, killing all four occupants. According to the official expert report, human error may have led to the accident. ORF Salzburg reports this.
According to the report, the four-seat small plane was overloaded by 82 kilograms. In addition, some requirements from the technical manual for this aircraft type were not met. The flight planning was also said to have been inadequate: the pilot had misjudged the weather.
In very stormy weather and sometimes dense fog, the machine crashed in a forest on impassable terrain on Passeggen – a mountain ridge in the municipality of St. Andrä im Lungau. The Cirrus SR 20 was on its way back from Zagreb to Schärding am Inn airport. In addition to the 39-year-old pilot from the Grieskirchen district, a 50-year-old from the Schärding district, a 48-year-old from Salzburg and a 52-year-old from Bavaria also died.
