Overview

• Emergency services received the first alert at 18:39, and Madrid’s mountain-rescue unit located the wreckage after roughly an hour of searching.
• The aircraft was an unpowered glider, and the pilot was the only person on board.
• Guardia Civil mountain rescuers evacuated the body by helicopter to the Manzanares El Real helipad before the transfer to Segovia.
• The site’s proximity to the Madrid border meant both Madrid 112 and Castilla y León 112 handled calls and coordinated resources.
• Officials have not released the pilot’s identity as post-crash procedures continue.
