The flightcrew had performed four flights that day (Barcelona-Palma de Mallorca-Alicante-Valencia-Barcelona) when they departed Barcelona at 22:38 UTC (23:38 local time) for a cargo flight to Brussels. Weather at the time of departure included wind 2 knots at 270 degrees, 2000 m visibility in fog. Nine minutes after takeoff, while climbing through 8400 feet, the crew radioed that they wanted to return to the airport: “Requeririamos volver al campo”. This request was granted and the pilot was told to contact Barcelona Approach. The approach controller cleared the flight for a runway 07 approach. After having been cleared down to 6000 feet and 3000 feet, the crew were told to contact Barcelona Tower at 22:59. At 23:00:15 the aircraft passed the Outer Marker at 1500 feet, with an airspeed of 170 knots. At a distance of 3,7nm from the QUV VOR the aircraft started deviating from the localizer course. One minute later the aircraft contacted the ground at a speed of 130 knots, crashed and caught fire. CAUSAS: “Se considera que la causa probable del accidente fue el establecimiento y mantenimiento de un  ngulo de descenso inapropiado durante la aproximaci¢n a la pista 07 del Aeropuerto de Barcelona, en condiciones de visibilidad reducida combinadas con posible fatiga de la tripulaci¢n debido a la duraci¢n de los periodos de actividad a‚rea y de descanso precedentes, y con indicios de posible mal funcionamiento del motor izquierdo que requer¡a la compensaci¢n de la gui¤ada y una cuidadosa atenci¢n en el control del avi¢n, que provocaron que la aeronave descendiera por debajo de la senda de planeo y se desviase del eje de la pista hasta impactar con la copa de un  rbol y posteriormente con el terreno.”
