Small aircraft crash in Gmunden: Pilot and passenger remain intact!
On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, there was a dramatic incident at the Gmunden-Gschwandt airfield. A 65-year-old pilot from Gmunden and his 39-year-old companion carried out an exercise with a two-seater slide. At the Landemanöver, the brakes on the wet asphalt failed, which caused the tires to block and the pilot lost control of the aircraft. In order to prevent a crash through the embankment, he steered the plane to the left, which ultimately led to it landed in a field and fell over a small embankment. Fortunately, both inmates remained unharmed, such as 5min.at reported .
In the meantime, a tragic flight accident occurred in the Waldviertel. On Sunday, December 2, 2024, a small plane at the preaching chair at Groß-Siegharts crashed. The 83-year-old pilot, a member of the Union Union Air Group Waldviertel, was killed in the accident. The crash was observed by an eyewitness at 3:30 p.m. As a result, a large -scale search was started, but it was significantly more difficult by dense fog and darkness. After all, the emergency services could only reach the accident and found the pilot dead. The public prosecutor ordered an autopsy, while the State Criminal Police Office started the investigation into the cause of the accident, reported nön.at .| Details | |
