on
  • Date: Sunday, April 13, 2025
  • Location: Salzgitter, Lower Saxony, Germany
  • Time: 09:43 local time
  • Aircraft: Piper PA-60-601P Aerostar (Registration: D-ICEL)
  • Occupants: 2
  • Fatalities: 2
  • Phase of Flight: Initial Climb

A privately operated Piper PA-60-601P Aerostar crashed shortly after takeoff from Salzgitter-Drütte Airfield (EDVS) on Sunday morning, resulting in the deaths of both occupants on board. The aircraft came down on the premises of the Salzgitter steel plant, where it was completely destroyed upon impact.

Initial reports indicate that the aircraft pitched up sharply after departure before crashing. An eyewitness described the aircraft's rapid climb followed by a loss of control before impact. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

The crash occurred during favorable weather conditions. METAR reports from nearby airports indicated clear skies (CAVOK), light winds (5-6 knots), and temperatures between 15°C and 18°C around the time of the accident.

Salzgitter-Drütte Airfield (EDVS) has a 535-meter runway with an additional 39 meters of paved area before runway 25, which may be used for takeoff. The Aerostar’s maximum takeoff mass is 2000 kg, and it remains unclear whether runway length or aircraft performance played a role in the accident.

The flight was destined for Hildesheim Airfield (EDVM). No casualties were reported on the ground. Emergency responders secured the area, and investigations are being led by local aviation authorities.

This incident underscores the risks associated with general aviation and highlights the importance of thorough performance planning, particularly when operating from shorter runways.
