On 26 October 2006, a CASA C-212 Aviocar aircraft of the Swedish Coast Guard crashed into the Falsterbo Canal, Sweden.[1]

Accident

The accident aircraft was performing a low-level fly-by of the Skanör-Falsterbo Coast Guard Station while en route from Ronneby Airport to Malmö Airport.[2]

The accident was observed by a group of schoolchildren who reported that the port wing fell off during a turn, making the aircraft fall into the sea. All four crewmembers died. The wreckage was subsequently recovered.

The Swedish Coast Guard grounded its remaining fleet of CASA C-212s within days after the accident.[3] The remaining aircraft were sold to Uruguay.

Cause

The Swedish Accident Investigation Board determined the cause to be metal fatigue.[4] The Swedish Coast Guard later replaced the aircraft with Bombardier Dash-8 Q300s because the remaining two aircraft were found to have the same issue.
