AIB Ghana revealed that engine failure due to overheating caused the microlight aircraft crash that occurred on March 16, 2026.
The accident led to the deaths of two brothers, Captain Frank Amoaning Donkor, 36, a flight instructor, and 25-year-old Elijah Ofori Donkor, a university graduate. The aircraft, with registration number 9G-ADV, crashed within the premises of the TMA Day Care Centre before catching fire. The aircraft was flying from Ho to Accra and was expected to arrive at 15:20 Zulu time.
The report stated the aircraft was only authorised to carry one passenger based on its operating permit, but findings showed that two people were on board at the time of the flight, and the pilot was not seated in the designated pilot seat but rather at the rear of the aircraft. Both occupants sustained severe burns and died as a result of the incident.
