Cause of TBM 700 Loss-of-Control Accident Unknown
The TBM 700 crashed east of Paris on a flight from the south of France to Belgium.

France’s BEA aircraft accident investigation agency has few clues as to what caused the fatal loss-of-control accident involving a Daher TBM 700 east of Paris on Aug. 6, 2014, because the turboprop single was not equipped with a flight data recorder (FDR). Officials have recommended that the requirement for an FDR be extended to high-performance aircraft, even if they weigh less than the mtow threshold of 5,700 kg (12,566 pounds). The crash killed two people—the pilot and one passenger—and seriously injured three passengers.
