A Mooney M20J 201 single-engine propeller plane from Sweden’s Volunteer Air Corps crashed into Lake Limmaren near Norrtälje Airport (ESSN) on Friday afternoon during a training exercise. The aircraft registered SE-GXI, carrying two pilots, went into the water while attempting to land near a lakeside runway.
The plane went down near the Görla airfield, just short of the runway. A major rescue effort involving helicopters, divers, emergency services, and police was launched, but both men on board, experienced pilots, could not be saved.
The plane is reportedly almost fully submerged.
Police have opened a criminal investigation into the cause of the crash and have begun questioning people who can provide information. Sweden’s Accident Investigation Authority will take part in the inquiry.
