What happened
The incident involved a single-engine aircraft operating out of Auckland Airport. The crew was conducting a local training exercise when the accident occurred. During the final approach phase, while executing a turn to align with the runway, the aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall. As a result of this loss of lift, the plane descended uncontrolled and impacted the ground in a field adjacent to the airfield.
The impact caused significant structural damage, resulting in the total destruction of the airframe. Both individuals on board sustained injuries but survived the crash.
