- Date: June 23, 2009
- Aircraft: Partenavia P.68
- Location: Sant Pere de Vilamajor, Catalonia, Spain
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: An aerodynamic stall at low altitude during a slow flight maneuver with one engine stopped. Contributing factors were the low altitude, no pre-flight agreement between the crew on responsibilities, and no authority gradient between the pilots.
A Vulcanair P.68 Observer 2 took off from Sabadell on a local training flight with an instructor and a pilot taking a Class Rating Instructor test. Over Sant Pere de Vilamajor it lost its engine noise and then spun nose-down into the ground, with a fire that reached the aircraft and a nearby tree but not the house it fell beside. Both occupants were killed.
