Description:

On 26 September 2019, the AAII CZ was notified by RCC of interception of signal from ELT of the said aircraft. Based on such signal interception, aerial and ground search for the aircraft commenced at 19:44. It was already established during this search that the aircraft had taken off from LKLT (Letňany Airport) with two persons on board, with planned landing at LKKT. The Czech Police helicopter’s aerial search was interrupted during its second flight due to unfavourable meteorological conditions. The ground search continued even during the night. On the following day, having resumed the aerial search, the Czech Police helicopter found the aircraft wreckage. The rescue crew took the rope down from the SAR ACR helicopter. Having entered the high-grown forest, the aircraft was destroyed by hitting the trees, crashing on the ground and by subsequent fire. Both persons on board of the aircraft died.
