Suosituksen perustelu
The accident revealed that there are many features in building, maintaining and operating an eleven-seater experimental aircraft built for active skydiving operations, in which inadequate planning, guidelines, supervision or completion can generate uncontrollable risks. Because of seating limitations, in many European countries it is impossible to construct or use this kind of an experimental aircraft in skydiving operations.
Recommendation
The Safety Investigation Authority, Finland recommends that, when required, the Finnish Transport Safety Agency limit the number of occupants in experimental aircraft and their use in skydiving operations based on risk considerations.
