fatal2019-05-091 fatality
Summary

A shepherd found a body in forest near Săpânța, and the wreck of a Kamov Ka-26 was found nearby. The aircraft carried no registration and no details could be established, and its colours matched no Ka-26 on the Romanian register, so it is thought to have entered the country unrecorded. The crash is believed to have happened the previous day. Reporting suggests the pilot lost control while flying low at night, which is not an established finding.
