The Manx (Isle of Man)-registered plane crash landed in a field, next to Fairoaks Airport. The pilot was injured. The crew consisted of the pilot and the co-pilot. The plane narrowly missed three big trees.The two people on board got away with minor injuries. It is believed the pilot sustained injuries to his wrist. Both were taken to St Peters Hospital in Chertsey by ambulance as a precaution.
UPDATE: The official AAIB report into the accident was published on 13-04-2017, and the following is the summary from the report...
"The pilot lost control of the aircraft during a turn onto the final approach at Fairoaks Airport. The final turn had been commenced from a relatively close downwind leg, requiring a higher angle of bank than usual to complete. In the latter stages of the turn, with flaps at the takeoff setting, the bank angle was increased and there was a sudden and rapid departure from controlled flight that was consistent with a stall. The occupants were able to recover to an approximately level aircraft attitude but were unable to arrest the descent rate which ensued. The aircraft struck the ground and slid for a distance, sustaining extensive damage and causing injuries to both occupants.
The pilot and passenger remained conscious but had both suffered injury. The passenger saw flames from the region of the engine and warned the pilot that they needed to evacuate. He went to the rear of the cabin, opened the main door and left the aircraft. The pilot initially attempted to open his side door, but his right arm was injured and he was unable to open the door with only his left. He therefore followed the passenger out of the rear door."
