A Cessna Citation I/SP corporate jet, registered N452TS, crashed while on approach to Trier-F”hren Airport in Germany. All four occupants were killed. The pilot in command, after a call to the destination airport, initiated a delayed departure due to thick fog. The aircraft departed Shoreham Airport approximately 10:00 hours, and an alternate airfield (Luxembourg and Frankfurt-Hahn) was requested. Despite the presence of fog, the pilot in command continued the flight, expecting a diversion. The flight continued for approximately 15 miles, descending to FL90, and at 11:45, the pilot in command contacted air traffic control to cancel their IFR clearance. The controller confirmed this and reported that they were 15 miles northwest of the destination airfield. The airplane was approaching runway 22 and descended until it was flying at a very low altitude, clearing trees by some 15-20 meters, according to eyewitwitnesses. It pulled up and struck an electricity pylon at a height of about 8 m above the ground. Control was lost, and the airplane rolled inverted and crashed. It came to rest inverted on the site of a landfill, located 3,8 km from the threshold of runway 22 and about 700 m to the left of the extended centreline. A fire erupted. The continued descent to the ground likely occurred due to an erroneous selection of the target altitude with 0 ft (sea level) instead of the real aerodrome elevation (666 ft AMSL). Good Crew Resource Management (CRM) could have brought this error to light but the different personality traits of the two pilots and particularly the captain’s low appreciation of the co-pilot probably negatively influenced the working relationship in regards to CRM principles.A Cessna Citation I/SP corporate jet, registered N452TS, crashed while on approach to Trier-F”hren Airport in Germany.
