The pilot, accompanied by five passengers, took off from Riaan Swart private farm in Thabazimbi with the intention of landing at Wonderboom Aerodrome (FAWB). After take-off, during the climb phase, the pilot and the passengers heard a loud banging noise on the right-hand side of the aircraft. The pilot observed the engine indication parameters and they were normal. The pilot then switched off the right-hand engine because he thought it was problematic. He decided to return back to the departure point on one engine, but found that couldn’t because the aircraft had begun to descend very quickly. The aircraft started yawing to the right and losing altitude, and became uncontrollable. The aircraft descended rapidly and impacted with the ground and trees.
The aircraft was destroyed during the impact sequence. The pilot and the passengers sustained no injuries.
3.2 Probable cause/s:
3.2.1 Following the pilot’s decision to shut down number two engine shortly after take-off at low altitude, the aircraft lost height and impacted with terrain.
Contributory Factor/s:
3.3.1 The pilot displayed poor airmanship.
