Imagine the gut feeling of the ATC when he just stops responding like that. You can hear his worry in his voice. May they Rest in Peace.

That caught me off guard in that I didn't expect the calmness on the radio by all to instant tragedy. Very sorry for them. Rest in peace to all on board. 😞

Mercy!

Was ATC talking to 2 different aircraft? The banner says Hawker 900XP [Xray Papa], but ATC is talking to Hawker 900VA [Victor Alpha]. Either way, sad to hear of the loss of the aircraft and flight crew.

900XP is the model.

@@gvelilla Thank you.

Did they have an EPIRB or similar?

Somehow stalled and entered a spin, couldn't recover

I heard it was a deliberate stall. The pilot was required to do a stall to test the aircraft after work on the elevators. He should have hired someone to do the test for him.

Woaw, I was not expecting that, things seem to go just fine. I hope for details about what exactly the causes were..

Whatever you're doing today take a few seconds to think of the Hawker pilot and any other crew or pax that may have been onboard. God rest their souls.

Investigation may reveal this is some sort of sudden cabin pressure from the aircraft - immediate loss of all electrical power including transponder followed by an unrecoverable spin is indicative of a sudden structural failure . Something like a door loss at that altitude causing sudden depressurization could be a problem. ATC never had much of a chance when the transponder blip just vanished. Without "old school radar" to pick up the aircraft ATC would have to scramble someone to get a visual.

12000 ft shouldn't cause a depressurization problem. I expect the NTSB will just find a stall. No mayday call so PIC was under extreme pressure before going in.
