On final approach to Empuriabrava Airfield, the aircraft was too low, causing the undercarriage to collide with the perimeter fence. Decision was taken to divert to Gerona-Costa Brava Airport. The aircraft landed on a foamed runway and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
