About this video
Following a loss of engine power, the Wittman W-10 Tailwind force landed to roadway terrain, south Auckland, New Zealand. The tiny plane came to rest upside down on a road. The pilot walked away with moderate injuries and was taken to hospital.
An investigation by the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand into the June crash found it was the first time the pilot had taken the microlight to the sky since it had been made airworthy.
