The incident occurred on Thursday, February 11, off the coast of Romagna during a training mission. The pilot, Major Luca Crovatti, jumped from the seat with the inflatable seat belt and was recovered by a civilian boat. His condition is good. There are no reports of damage to third parties or to property. From an initial analysis, the incident appears to have been caused by a malfunction in the aircraft. The Italian Air Force will appoint an investigative commission to determine the causes.
