ASX Accident Report

On the afternoon of June 27, 2025, a Cessna 172R aircraft registered F-GYDS and operated by the AĂ©roclub d’Eure et Loir departed from Chartres-Champhol Airfield (LFOR) in Eure-et-Loir, France, on a local private flight. On board were three individuals: the pilot, a 77-year-old former French Army general, and two passengers, one male and one female. The aircraft, manufactured in 1997, carried manufacturer’s serial number 17280191 and was being flown under visual flight rules with no filed flight plan, as is typical for short local pleasure flights operated by flying clubs.

Shortly after takeoff, while in the initial climb phase, the aircraft crashed into a low wall adjacent to a residential street in the town of Champhol, approximately one kilometer northwest of the Chartres-Champhol runway. The impact destroyed the aircraft completely and caused fatalities to all three occupants on board. Despite crashing within a built-up urban area, no dwellings were struck, though a parked car sustained damage. Local emergency services arrived rapidly, confirming the deaths of those aboard. Witnesses reported the engine sound dropping abruptly before impact, though precise mechanical details have not yet been formally released.

The Bureau d’EnquĂȘtes et d’Analyses (BEA) has opened an investigation to establish the causes of the accident. Preliminary indications from eyewitness accounts suggest the aircraft may have experienced a loss of engine power or control authority shortly after becoming airborne, but official findings remain pending. No adverse weather conditions were reported in the immediate area at the time of the crash, and authorities continue to examine technical records, pilot credentials, and possible mechanical factors to determine why the aircraft was unable to maintain safe flight after takeoff.
