While approaching to land at Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport, it crashed around 7:20 pm in the La Faye forest, almost on top of the Mont Picot massif at an altitude of 1000 meters, in the Forez mountains. The accident occurred on the border of the departments of Loire, commune of Noirétable, and Puy-de-Dôme, commune of Viscomtat, with the massif between the two villages.
