According to the pilot, the take-off was uneventful. Just after levelling off at 6 500 feet AMSL, he checkedin with Langebaanweg approach on frequency 122.50 MHz Moments later he noticed an abrupt drop inmanifold pressure reading. The aircraft was being flown at maximum power setting engine to optimal operating parameters but to no avail.

The aircraft landed safely without any visible damage. Both occupants sustained no injuries.

The air filter was also found to be loose inside its housing.
