Narrative:The motor glider took off approximately at 06:10 hrs UTC from runway 09. At approximately 25 feet after take-off, the pilots observed the engine RPM/power was dropping, At approximately 50 feet height from ground the propeller stopped rotating.
The crew decided to turn back and land on the airstrip, However while executing the right turn at low height with no power the glider lost height very fast and in the process the right wing hit the airfield boundary wall. Thereafter the motor glider crash landed short of the runway. The instructor sustained serious injuries and was immediately rushed to the hospital. There was engine fire after impact.
Probable cause of the accident:
"The instructor's actions of initiating 180° right turn with no engine power at low height is non adherence to SOP for engine failure which resulted into sudden loss of height. Due which the right wing of the motor glider hit the boundary wall of the airfield resulting into the accident.
Perfunctory inspection schedule carried out by the AME/Maintenance Agency reflects poor maintenance of Motor glider/engine is a contributory factor."
