A Beechcraft B36TC Bonanza crashed shortly after takeoff from runway 11 at Bonn-Hangelar Airfield (BNJ/EDKB) and burst into flames in a field near Sankt Augustin, Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The pilot perished and the passenger suffered serious burn injuries and the aircraft was destroyed. The passenger was seated in the rear part of cabin and was able to evacuate through the rear cabin doors.
Local airport staff confirmed that there was no radio call by the pilot advising of technical issues. A local and credible eye witness also reported that the aircraft's engine sputtered and emitted some black smoke right after takeoff, at about 100ft above runway elevation. The aircraft then lost height and dropped its left wing.
The left wing seems to have separated at about midpoint during impact, the engine broke off from its harness when the aircraft impacted the ground. The airport fire services were in position 3 to 4 minutes after impact, but the plane was already engulfed by flames.
