Group,
We received this news yesterday:
http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/two-friends-die-small-plane-crashes-into-park-4698019
On radio, folks said these guys were well know in the area, and one of them was based there, as was the plane. The other used to be in the Manawatu, too. Not sure if this was his field. Some relatives overseas and they're trying to get in touch. No names yet.
" The two-seater Aerostar Yak 52TW aircraft crashed..."
Very sad news.

This is the accident report of the Yak-52 accident caused by a screwdriver in the UK in January 2003 :
http://www.aaib.gov.uk/cms_resources.cfm?file=/dft_avsafety_pdf_024587.pdf
The investigation into the fatal accident to this Yak 52 established that the elevator control quadrant (as illustrated in the picture -see report above) was jammed by a screwdriver.
The aircraft was carrying out aerobatics, and at the end of a stall turn (Hammerhead) the pilot was unable to pull out of the vertical dive.
Following this tragic accident, all UK registered Yak-52 have to be fitted with a FOD barrier (MPD 2004-06) :

It is common practice for pilots to check for loose articles by slapping the underside of the rear fuselage. Such slapping will only show up objects in the front part of the rear fuselage; the Yak-52 structure is such that anything which may have migrated through the frames right to the rear will not be disturbed by such slapping.
While the slapping technique is still an efficient means of finding some loose objects, nothing can replace a full loose article check with a torch and mirror through the inspection hatch in the fuselage side.
