This aircraft crashed into my parents backyard
My two relatives died in this crash. Would love to hear from person whose yard it was.
The following factors played a role in the accident
1. Low time pilot from KZN
2. OAT was above 30* and DA must have been 8000ft
3. Overloaded: 3 pax + full tanks
4. Tried to turn back for airport
Very sad to witness this avoidable accident. As a pilot now myself I learnt a lot from this at a early age
