A Tecnam P2008 JC crashed on takeoff from Baramati Airport.
The pilot, a CFI, had noticed sluggish operation of the brake and unusual noise from the aircraft after landing on a previous flight.
He decided to conduct a flight to check the brake operations and the reason for unusual noise from the aircraft before handing over the aircraft for further flights by other instructors.
As per the CFI’s statement, he performed flapless take off and got airborne. At around 100 feet height, the CFI stated to have experienced engine power loss. The aircraft banked to the right then turned abruptly to the left followed by loss of altitude resulting in aircraft crashing just outside the Baramati airport fencing approximately 395 m from the RWY 29 threshold.
