The pilot and passenger were about to engage on a pleasure flight around the area, when moments after rotation and during a climb out the engine suddenly failed and the propeller came to a halt. The pilot directed the aircraft to a neighbouring farm runway, which was inline with his runway. The aircraft could not make it due to a rapid loss in altitude and high trees span along his flight path. The aircraft impacted the trees before it impacted the ground and came to a halt lying on its roof. The pilot and passenger were seriously injured as a result of this accident and were taken to hospital by an ambulance.

A Private Authority to Fly was issued on 04 July 2005 with an expiry date of 03 July 2006. Probable Cause The cause of this accident was attributed to a failure of the engine ignition system and the cause of the failure could not be determined.
