A Diamond DA40NG Diamond Star crashed during a training flight. The instructor and the student pilot were killed.
The cause of the accident with the DA 40 NG RA-02654 aircraft, most likely, was the aircraft entering a stall at an altitude insufficient to recover, when performing a type of engine failure simulation that was not provided for by the flight task.
The factors that contributed to the accident, most likely, were:
- the state of light alcoholic intoxication in which the pilot-instructor was;
- the lack of a control system in the BLU GA for the order and sequence of the training flight program;
- shortcomings in the methodology of flight training in the BLU GA, expressed in the absence of a clear regulation of operations and actions when performing flights with imitation of engine failure;
- inconsistency of the content of the “Program of one-time personal training of instructors”, developed by LTK SPbGU GA, with the goals and objectives for the solution of which it is intended;
- shortcomings in the methodological and professional training of the PIC instructor, which led to the delayed / incorrect adoption of measures to bring the aircraft into normal flight mode.
