Propeller Plane Overturns During Landing in Genderkingen, Causing Significant Damage

A private flight ended in a crash landing, leaving the aircraft severely damaged, though both crew members escaped unharmed.

A propeller plane veered off the runway during landing at the Rudolf-Grenzebach airfield in Genderkingen, Bavaria, on Friday afternoon.
The aircraft entered a nearby field, where its front wheel broke off, causing the plane to overturn and come to rest upside down.
The pilot, 52, and co-pilot, 58, both emerged uninjured from the accident despite the severity of the crash.
Initial assessments estimate the damage to the plane at several hundred thousand euros, with the aircraft likely a total loss.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, and a court-appointed expert began their analysis on Friday evening.
