| Summary: | After an electrical failure at the airport the aircraft initiated a go-around. Because another aircraft was about to take off, an extended downwind leg was flown. The aircraft crashed into the Sea of Marmara while in the process of making the second approach. It is though the pilot-in-command may lost control of the airplane after suffering spatial disorientation while flying at night under VFR mode over the Marmara Sea without any visual reference points. |
