A flight instructor and a student pilot on-board a Sling 2 aircraft with registration ZU-WMM took off on a training flight from runway 06 at Wonderboom Aerodrome (FAWB) with the intention to return to the same aerodrome when the accident occurred.

The flight instructor took control of the aircraft and executed an emergency landing on an open field which was approximately 2.2 nautical miles (nm) Northeast of FAWB. During the landing on a wet land, the spring-loaded main landing gear detached from the underbelly attachment point then, the nose gear was bent aircraft collided with the parameter fence and the left wing collided with a fence pole.
