Circumstances:
Shortly after takeoff from Bromma Airport, the airplane encountered difficulties to gain height. It stalled then crashed onto a building located by the airport. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and both crew members were killed. There were no casualties on the ground.
Probable cause:
It was reported that the total weight of the airplane at takeoff was at the limit of the tolerance as well as the CofG. Nevertheless, the crew took off with wings, tail and stabs contaminated by ice. Thus, the stall was aggravated by the combination of ice on wings and an excessive takeoff weight in such conditions.
