Summary
The flight from Perpignan – Rivesaltes aerodrome was undertaken in the context of the end
of a leasing agreement, before the return of D-AXLA to its owner. The programme of planned
checks could not be performed in general air traffic, so the flight was shortened. After about
an hour of flight, the airplane returned to the departure aerodrome airspace and the crew
was cleared to carry out an ILS procedure to runway 33, followed by a go around and a
departure towards Frankfurt/Main (Germany). A short time after overflying the initial
approach point, during a phase of flight at low speed, the crew lost control of the airplane,
which crashed into the sea.

1 – FACTUAL INFORMATION
1.1 History of Flight
The A320-232 registered D-AXLA operated by the airline XL Airways Germany had been
ferried to Perpignan aerodrome on 3 November 2008 for maintenance and painting work. It
had been released to service on 27 November 2008.
The airplane, chartered from Air New Zealand, was at the end of its leasing agreement and
was to be returned to its owner. The leasing agreement specified a programme of in-flight
checks; to this end, a flight had been planned for the afternoon. The crew was made up of a
Captain (PF) and a Co-pilot (PNF) from the airline XL Airways Germany. A pilot and three
engineers from Air New Zealand, as well as a representative of the New Zealand Civil
Aviation authority were on board. The pilot and one of the engineers had taken seats in the
cockpit.
The estimated departure time in the flight plan was 12 h 30 for a total planned flight time of 2
h 35 over the west of France with a return to Perpignan. At the end of the flight, the airplane
was supposed to return to Frankfurt/Main.
The departure was postponed to 14 h 00 then to 14 h 30, and the takeoff took place at 14 h
44 min.
Phase 1: from takeoff to flight at low speed
A few minutes after takeoff, the crew requested, but was not authorised to perform any “360”.
The en route controller explained to the crew that they could not undertake tests in general
air traffic and that the flight plan filed was not compatible with the manoeuvres requested.
The crew announced that they wanted to continue on the route planned in the flight plan and
asked to climb to FL310 before turning back towards Perpignan.
At around 15 h 12 min, the crew turned back. Some checks planned in the flight programme
were performed. The maximum flight level reached was FL 390.
At 15 h 33 min 34 s, in descent towards the FL130, the crew contacted Perpignan Approach.
They were then cleared to descend to FL 120 towards the PPG VOR. The approach controller
asked them to reduce speed to 250 kt and to plan a hold at the PPG VOR. They were
number two on approach.
At 15 h 34 min 34 s, the crew requested radar vectoring. The approach controller asked the
crew to turn left onto heading 090 and to reduce the speed to 200 kt.
