While approaching Wellington-Rongotai Airport, the pilot performed several S turns to reduce speed when the aircraft stalled and crashed on the golf course of Miramar, near the airport. The aircraft came to rest upside down near the 16th hole. While both occupants were slightly injured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
