Milan - Kiel

Following a wrong approach configuration, the twin engine aircraft landed too far down a wet runway. After touchdown, the crew realized he would not be able to stop the airplane within the remaining distance and decided to initiate a go-around procedure. Power was added on both engines and the aircraft took off. After passing over the runway end at low altitude, the aircraft struck trees, stalled and crashed in a wooded area. Nine occupants were injured, some of them seriously, while one pilot was killed.
