Copilot explains how gyrocopter crash happened in side-steps

A gyrocopter crash occurred at the Seitenstetten airfield in Lower Austria on Tuesday, resulting in two injured individuals. According to statements from the copilot, a motor performance loss led to an emergency landing. The pilot, aged 70, attempted to land on a nearby field but experienced a hard touchdown due to low speed. The copilot, who was 75 years old, managed to exit the aircraft independently and then freed the injured pilot from his seatbelts. Shortly after, the gyrocopter began to self-ignite. Five fire departments responded and quickly extinguished the fire. The pilot sustained severe injuries and was flown by a rescue helicopter to the University Hospital St. Pölten, while the copilot received treatment at the Amstetten Regional Hospital.
