On the 16th of October 2010, in the afternoon, the owner of aircraft decided to perform an
observation flight over his farm of “Cortes de Cima”, Vidigueira, where he built a runway and a hangar to operate and store the aircraft. By 16:35 UTC he took off on a North-westerly direction and made a 450º right turn, overflying residential zone at low altitude, preparing to start a photographic recording session of the farmland. By then, engine started loosing power and stopped, with propeller becoming stuck, unable to turn. While the pilot tried to restart the engine,
looking inside, the aircraft collided with a tree and crashed on the ground. The aircraft was destroyed but the pilot managed to leave the cockpit by himself, with some scratches on his face and serious injuries on his spine, being taken to hospital.
