The pilot took off on a private flight from Morningstar aerodrome between Cape Town and Malmesbury. As he was climbing through 1 000 ft above ground level, the engine suddenly lost power. The pilot opted for a forced landing at the De Goede Ontmoeting aerodrome, during which he landed hard and the aircraft bounced and nosed over. Neither the pilot nor his passenger was injured during the accident, but the microlight was substantially damaged. Probable Cause During an unsuccessful forced landing, the pilot allowed the microlight to bounce, resulting in a loss of control and a nose over. Contributing factor Loss of engine power due to a hole in the piston.
