History of Flight
The pilot, accompanied by five passengers, took off from Riaan Swart private farm in Thabazimbi with the intention of landing at Wonderboom Airport (FAWB). Prior to take-off, the aircraft was refuelled with 227 l of Avgas LL100 fuel. After take-off, during the climb phase, the pilot and passengers heard a loud banging noise on the right-hand side of the aircraft. The pilot observed the engine indication parameters, which were normal and the aircraft continued to climb but the noise continued, but louder. He levelled out at approximately 5 000 ft above ground level (AGL) wanting to gain forward speed.
Power to the right-hand side engine was reduced and he proceeded with the standard engine shut-down procedures. At this point, the pilot’s intention was to proceed back to the departure point on one engine. He then elected to attempt to restart the engine but the aircraft began losing altitude, speed and directional control at an increasing rate. The pilot decided to abort the engine restart and focused only on controlling and landing the aircraft.
At that stage, the aircraft was turning towards the dead engine. The pilot looked for a safe landing area, but ran out of time as they were descending very quickly. It heavily impacted with the ground and trees. The aircraft was destroyed by the impact during the accident sequence. The pilot and the passengers disembarked unharmed from the aircraft.
The pilot was in possession of both Botswana DCA and South African CAA issued licences. Both licences and the medical dates were valid prior to the accident

Taking Flight On Another World
The Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity, is a technology demonstration model to test powered, controlled flight on another world for the first time. It hitched a ride to Mars on the Perseverance rover. Once the rover reached a suitable "airfield" location, it released Ingenuity to the surface so it could perform a series of test flights over a 30-Martian-day experimental window.
