A small plane lost power in the air and suddenly crashed and exploded, and 2 people on board were burnt to charred bodies

In Xizhou Township, Changhua County, Taiwan yesterday (16th), the latest Shark light aircraft crashed, killing 54-year-old coach LG and 18-year-old Japanese high school student H. Some people filmed at the scene that when the small plane was re-flying, when it pulled up and turned to enter the second side, the originally normal and horizontal fuselage suddenly flipped over and fell directly to the side of the river embankment. A raging fire ignited at the scene. Prosecutors and The Taiwan authorities are currently conducting a comprehensive investigation.

Zhongshi News reported that at around 3 pm yesterday (16th), LG, the coach of the "Shunfeng Flying Club", was driving a small plane, carrying an 18-year-old Japanese man, HH, and was suspected of being careless during the first landing. After failing to enter the field successfully, LG immediately pulled up the nose to climb and turn, preparing for the second landing. Unexpectedly, when the plane was about to land for the second time, when it climbed and was about to turn around, it was suspected of stalling and fell into the river embankment, directly hit the ground, and ignited a raging fire. The skeleton remained, and the instructor and students on the plane died in the fire pit.

I appreciate the info! Added to main post.

The student reportedly was on a family trip to Taiwan and had boarded the light aircraft for an excursion. L.G., the pilot, had previously served as a captain of an F-16 fighter jet squadron in the Air Force and eventually reached the rank of colonel, with a total flight time of 1,936 hours in F-16 and IDF fighters.

The instructor used him as a fighter, the light aircraft's thrust is not that big, the image looks like it's too hasty when it's heavy, making the plane's angle of attack greater than the stall angle of attack, plus too much inclination when turning, to maintain height, causing the angle of attack to be greater than the stall angle of attack. If you can fly forward for another five to ten seconds after the lift, wait until the airspeed is stable and power is enough before turning and other actions should not stall, but if the flight is not, only the judgement of the moment, all the way is good!

Pilot set a too steep climb angle and too hard rudder shortly after getting airborne for that size engine = . Edit: I didn't realize that was an aborted landing.

Yeah, with the pilot's experience, a crosswind must have messed him up. He was flying along a river bank, subject to gusts.

Actually I was thinking the same thing about MAGA supporters....amazing their brain can generate enough power to walk and talk at the same time.

The pilot did a couple of touch-and-go's, and on this last one, turned away from the crosswind instead of into it, forfeiting windspeed over the wings, and therefore, lift. He didn't have enough airspeed to keep the aircraft from stalling, and combined with his rate-of-climb and bank angle, he did a half-spin into the the dirt. You can tell just at the apex of his climb out (mid-turn) the aircraft slows appreciably. I didn't hear the aircraft lose power. He was trying to fly it like he had an abundance of thrust in reserve to get away with it (he didn't) and this was the result.

That instructor sucks.

Aerodynamic stall caused by turn at too low a speed.

Well said.

Getting cooked in a fire pit sucks...
