Landing gear failure likely caused fatal SA training crash
A preliminary ATSB report into a fatal training flight crash in South Australia has identified a nosewheel landing gear failure as the likely cause, with a critical component found to have fractured. The Diamond DA42 aircraft's left engine was also operating below full power when the trainee pilot lost control and crashed into a hangar shortly after take-off.
