Eagle Aviation - Malta

Cessna 421B Golden Eagle II

The crew was completing a training flight from Malta to Zurich and return with intermediate stops in Rome and Basel. While on an ILS approach to Zurich-Kloten Airport runway 14, while at an altitude of 600 meters, the twin engine aircraft deviated from the glide, proceeded to a flat attitude when it entered a rapid descent and crashed 1,500 meters short of runway. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair and both occupants were seriously injured.
