On April 29, 2017, at 2:36 p.m., a Socata TB-20 Trinidad single-engine aircraft took off from Muchamiel Aerodrome in Alicante.
The aircraft, carrying three occupants and bearing the German civil registration D-ECJP, was part of a seven-plane convoy traveling from Germany to Morocco. D-ECJP was en route to Granada Airport and, according to Flightsafety.org, disappeared from radar ten minutes before landing. The following day, the wreckage was found on a mountainside at an altitude of 1,718 meters in the Sierra de Tejeda, a remote and difficult-to-access area in the municipality of Canilla de Aceituno (Málaga), in the Axarquía region.
The three occupants of the D-ECJP, all German citizens, died in this tragic accident, including the 60-year-old pilot and his 45-year-old wife. Currently, a wooden cross marks the crash site, where debris from the D-ECJP is still scattered across the mountainside. Yesterday, the YouTube channel Aventuras Entresierras (which I recommend you subscribe to) released a video showing a hike to the site and the wreckage of the plane crash in the Sierra de Tejeda, starting from the El Alcázar Recreational Area in Alcaucín (Málaga). The video is in Spanish; you can activate automatic English subtitles in the player's bottom bar:
Here you can see three screenshots from this video, as a preview. In the video you can see the cross placed at the crash site and quite a few remains of the crashed plane.
