At approximately 1830 eastern standard time (EST), the student and instructor pilot departed from London, Ontario, to fly night circuits at Centralia/Huron Airpark, about 22 nautical miles northwest of London. The student, who was in the left seat, was practising night visual approaches on his second night flight. On final approach during the third or fourth circuit to runway 10, the aircraft struck a tree. After the tree strike, the aircraft struck the ground in a steep, nose-down attitude and came to rest in an inverted position. The instructor, who received minor injuries, extricated himself from the aircraft and walked three kilometres to call for assistance. The student, who was seriously injured, remained in the aircraft until local authorities were able to remove him from the wreckage. The emergency locator transmitter (ELT) was activated during the impact but was not required by rescuers to locate the accident site. The accident occurred during the hours of darkness at approximately 1930.
