What happened
During a local training mission intended for a pilot's proficiency check, an incident occurred involving two crew members, consisting of one instructor and one student pilot. Shortly after departing the runway and reaching an altitude of approximately 200 feet, the instructor manually reduced power on the left engine, feathered the propeller, and retracted the flaps.
Following these actions, the aircraft type experienced a significant loss of airspeed and altitude. The instructor assumed control of the aircraft to perform an emergency descent. The flight path led the plane beyond the end of the runway, where it performed a crash landing in an adjacent field. The aircraft came to a complete stop in the terrain.
Findings
There were zero fatalities and no injuries reported among the two occupants. While the crew escaped without harm, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss. Investigations into the mechanical state of the engine revealed that the starboard propeller had been feathered; however, subsequent technical inspections confirmed that there were no malfunctions within either of the propeller feathering systems.
