The incident has been reported to the Finnish and Spanish aviation authorities, and an investigation has been initiated. Damages to the aircraft have been evaluated and it will be taken into use after required repairs. Training in Córdoba is continued.
Patria provides initial civil pilot training in Córdoba with a fleet of five single engine Diamond DA-40NG aircraft.

Fleet expansion will allow Patria to further increase its training capacity as the company prepares to receive students from its international airline customers.
