The aircraft crashed on approach to March AB around 15:40 hours local. The pilot ejected safely. The aircraft crashed in a warehouse fortunately not injuring anyone. The cause of the mishap was an improper installation of two hydraulic check valves in the right Flaperon Integrated Servo Actuator (FISA) which resulted in a loss of sufficient hydraulic pressure to control the aircraft.
