The South African Civil Aviation Authority\u2019s Accidents and Incidents Investigations Division (AIID) confirmed it has launched a full investigation into the fatal accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the AIID, the aircraft departed at approximately 11:00 with a flight instructor and a private licence holder on board. Moments later, it crashed, leaving both occupants fatally injured and the aircraft substantially damaged.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-emergency-services-rush-to-scene\">Emergency services rush to scene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Police spokesperson Capt F.C. Van Wyk confirmed that emergency services responded swiftly to the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis office can confirm a fatal airplane crash on Sunday, at about 12:40 at Vissershok airfield, Philadelphia. The two occupants died due to injuries sustained,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philadelphia police have since registered an inquest case, which will run alongside the aviation investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of publication, police had not yet released the names of the deceased, pending formal notification of their families.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crash-AviationSpotte_64869.jpg\" alt=\"The Sling 2 aircraft was completely wrecked after crashing shortly after take-off.

At first, I thought it was a veld fire, but when I realised it was an aircraft down, my heart sank. It\u2019s devastating to know that two people lost their lives. My thoughts are with their families.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorist Angie Human said she was a few cars behind when traffic slowed near Vissershok. &#8220;We could see responders working urgently in the distance. Even without knowing the details, you could feel something serious had happened. Hearing now that both occupants died is truly heartbreaking. It\u2019s a sad day for the aviation community and for everyone who passed by.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIID investigators have been dispatched to the site, and a preliminary report is expected to be published within 30 days on the SACAA website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The division has extended its condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two people were killed on Sunday afternoon when a Sling 2 aircraft crashed shortly after take-off from Morningstar Airfield.
