<p>The plane crashed near the Rüdesheim-Aulhausen air field, with two unidentified men aboard.  The plane caught fire on impact and help arrived too late.</p>
<p>The two people aboard were reported as fatalities, one who was thrown from the plane, and one who was burned beyond recognition.</p>
<p>It is not known if the pilot lost control after impacting trees, if it was a pilot error or a technical defect.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Jan 30, 2012, a Micro Aviation Bantam B22S that took off from Westport Airport with two aboard went missing Wednesday.  The plane was found on Jan 31, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. on Carters Beach, near Westport. The  two local men aged 58 and 25, who were aboard did not survive.</p>
<p>The bodies of the two men aboard were found beside the plane.</p>
<p>A dense sea fog descended at 9 pm when the plane had been aloft and may have been instrumental in the cause of the accident. Locals heard  two loud bangs but don&#8217;t know if the sound was connected to the accident. The wreckage is not far from the airport.</p>
<p>Peter Ashby father of the crash victim Cole, 25, found the wreckage of the plane carrying his son and pilot Roger Smith, 58. Cole was found dead about a kilometre away, swept away by the tide.</p>
<p>Cole was a machine operator at Stockton opencast mine who enjoyed &#8220;motocross, snowboarding, wakeboarding, skiing, drift cars.&#8221;</p>
<p>The accident is under investigation.</p><p>The post <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com/microlight-crashes-on-carters-beach-2-fatalities/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">Microlight Crashes on Carters Beach, 2 fatalities</a> first appeared on <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">George Hatcher's Air Flight Disaster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p><b>What: </b> Zenair CH 601 UL Zodiac microlight en route from Ohakea to Dargaville<br />
<b>Where: </b> South Head, Kaipara NZ<br />
<b>When: </b> April 1, 2012<br />
<b>Who: </b> 2 aboard, 2 fatalities<br />
<b>Why: </b> The microlight crashed in a field  in South Head, Kaipara, NZ after sending a distress call at 1 pm.  The flight went missing at 1, and was found before 7 when weather delayed the recovery of the bodies.</p>
<p>The owner of the field (on Fuller Rd in South Head, about 31km north of Helensville) contacted authorities after finding the microlight wreckage around two.  The medic who arrived by chopper found both passengers deceased. The cockpit was crushed, and the tail shattered. There was no fire.  Officials are investigating but the names of the victims have not been released.  </p><p>The post <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com/missing-light-craft-discovered-crashed-in-nz-field/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">Missing Light Craft Discovered Crashed in NZ field</a> first appeared on <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">George Hatcher's Air Flight Disaster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
