Georg Kienesberger (76) died on Wednesday afternoon with his passion, flying. The sadness for the experienced pilot is huge. The circumstances of the accident not far from the Völtendorf airport near St. Pölten are still unclear. Was there a medical problem?
He was in the air for thousands of hours, had completed countless starts and landings: Georg Kienesberger was one of the absolute top drivers at the airport in Völtendorf near St. Pölten. He was a full flight instructor for many years, around every second to fly in Völtendorf. But now Kienesberger is dead. He was killed in his great passion.
“That usually creates that blindly”
As reported, he crashed on Wednesday afternoon with his small plane at the runway. The tank was born, the dynamic WT9 600 went up in flames. The machine was completely burned out, the 76-year-old was perhaps immediately dead. Why the experienced pilot initially missed the runway and then touched the trees of the wind protection belt, remains a mystery for the time being. “He usually finds blind to the airport,” describe his shocked colleagues.
No radio contact person
The Flight Accident Commission started the investigation on Wednesday evening. However, a result can take months. The body of the St. Pöltner has already been released, the autopsy has not been ordered. Much currently indicates the health problems of the pensioners, but there is no confirmation. “There was no radio contact. If there was a problem with the machine, it would have been given with certainty,” says it.
The grief is not only in the Aviation Club, which has already canceled the “The Easter Bunter in Völtendorf” campaign, which has already been popular with young and old and planned for April 21 and planned for April 21. “He was a great kite and passed his knowledge to everyone,” says Rainer Handlinger. The mayor of the adjacent municipality of Ober-Grafendorf has had the ticket since 1996 and will probably benefit several times from Kienesberger’s wealth of experience. “You could learn so much from him,” says Handles.
Second drama within a few months
It was the first serious accident in Völtendorf. The airport that was opened in 1960 was purchased in 2007 by Dietrich Mateschitz, after which an amount of six figure was invested, especially in safety. However, it is the second aircraft drama within a few months that had taken place in the lower Austria. At the end of November, an 83-year-old, also an extremely experienced pilot, crashed on the preaching chair in the Waldviertel. He had had enormous health problems before the crash, because it turned out a little later.
