Overview
- The board released its final report about 18 months after the July 31, 2024 accident near Sint Willebrord, closing the inquiry without a definitive cause.
- Investigators found no signs of technical malfunction, adverse weather or fuel contamination, though a control issue could not be ruled out.
- The aircraft was almost completely destroyed and no flight data existed, preventing reconstruction of the pilot’s actions or full verification of the controls.
- The 67-year-old trainee from Roosendaal was on his second solo flight after a successful instructional flight earlier that day and held valid medical certificates.
- Breda Aviation expressed disappointment at the lack of answers but welcomed the finding that the aircraft was likely technically sound, as relatives remain without clarity.
