A Magni M24 Orion gyrocopter crashed west of Butzbachand, Wetteraukreis, Hessen, and burst into flames.
Both occupants were killed.
Conclusions
The collision of the gyroplane with the vegetation during takeoff occurred as a result of insufficient airspeed and consequent reduced climb performance.
Additional climb performance reducing factors were probably the prevailing increased density altitude, the almost missing headwind component and possibly the glued erosion protection strips on the rotor blades.
