PC-12 down in Milan Linate

I just heard a Piper went down in Linate into a building, on their way to Olbia. Two crew and six pax.

I just have a spanish news article. Anyone know more?

Horrible news.

Wasn’t there an accident a few years ago? We fly a lot out of Linate and know they changed the ground procedures because of that.

Can be translated with GT.
And of course they call the PC12 an “ultralight”.

Took off to the north, turned right climbing to 5300 ft AMSL (Ceiling BKN050 at the time) in all in all a 270° turn, started to descend rapidly and went in.

According to Italian Media, the aircraft was flown by one Dan Petrescu, a Romanian entrepreneur who owned the aircraft plus his family. The flight was supposed to land at Olbia.

I wonder what was the reason for that trajectory. Maybe he was trying to reach the runway? A deviation towards the east would have brought them on farmland with a higher likelihood of landing safely in a field.

Looks suspiciously like LOC to me. The clouds were at 5000 which is exactly where things went wrong. I wonder about the pilot… a professional, or a buddy of the owner maybe without much IFR experience?
