What happened
During the final stages of a descent toward Moshabong Lake, an aircraft entered a stall while performing a concluding turn. This loss of control resulted in the plane striking the water near the shoreline. The accident resulted in two fatalities among the passengers, while the pilot and one other passenger sustained serious injuries.
Findings
Investigations into the crash revealed that the aircraft had departed with an excessive load. Specifically, a large, non-approved aluminum transom boat was secured to the exterior of the plane during takeoff. During the final approach to the lake, strong gusty winds contributed to the pilot losing control of the aircraft.
