On Friday 24 January 2014, a certified private pilot licence (PPL) holder took off from FAWB aerodrome on a ferry flight destined for FAWA aerodrome under visual flight rules (VFR) after a mandatory periodic inspection (MPI) had been conducted on the Agwagon aircraft. With the departure aerodrome control tower clearance, the aircraft taxied towards runway 29 threshold where after it took off uneventfully. The aircraft was observed in the Petronella area, West of Hammanskraal, Northern Gauteng region, flying near the pilot's parents' home, approximately 2 nautical miles (NM) off its intended route, where it performed a low level flight. The aircraft was ultimately pulled to a vertical nose up attitude 'aerobatic type of manoeuvre'?, headed in the same direction and subsequently crashed, fatally injuring the pilot. The investigation revealed that the aircraft had entered an inadvertent acceleration stall at low height from which the pilot was unable to recover. Probable Cause Failed to maintain flying speed/stall. Contributing factor/s: Disregard for Standard/Safe/Regulatory operating procedures The pilot displayed poor airmanship.
