Given the distance between the R/W @ PGF and the Med a bit worse than a landing gone wrong. Seems it was training ( I guess touch & go's for new guys ) Anyone's guess how an unstallable wunderbus could get dropped into the sea a few miles short of the R/W though.

PGF
There were several Airbus A320 Family Aircraft on MX with EAS yesterday at PGF, could be one of those ? Non of them were Air France Airframes though.

A320 said to ditch off French coast during training flight

Seven people were on board an Airbus A320 aircraft, belonging to Air New Zealand, which has ditched off the coast of France during a training flight.

A spokeswoman for the French coast guard Gendarmerie Maritime says the precise location of the twin-jet is unclear, but that the organisation believes it to be between 1km and 5km from the coast near Perpignan.

She adds that the jet belonged to Air New Zealand and is lying 20-30m below the surface of the water.

The condition of the seven occupants is unknown, she says. The aircraft came down at about 17:00.

Airbus has so far been unable to provide any further details.

French news tv BFM-TV mentions a Neo-Z Airbus 320, with seven on board. Not a training flight, but a post-maintenance flight.

Here at the Beeb we've spoken to an XL Germany spokesman who has given us the following:


The plane was being returned to an aircraft leasing company. It was being given a maintenance check at Perpignan airport.

The aircraft appears to have crashed into the sea off the south east French coast during test flights following the maintenance work.

XL Germany says there were two flight crew from XL Germany and 3-5 engineers on board

Hope this helps.
