An Iranian pilot and co-pilot have been killed after their single-engine plane crashed while on a training flight in the country’s northwestern province of Qazvin.
The four-seat, high-wing fixed-wing Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft went down on the southeastern outskirts of Qazvin city - located some 165 kilometers (102 miles) northwest of the capital Tehran - on Thursday, IRNA quoted an informed source who wished to remain anonymous.
The instructor and the trainee were identified as 42-year-old Ali Fakhr and 26-year-old Baqer Baqeri respectively.
There were no immediate reports of any casualties on the ground.
The aircraft reportedly belonged to a local flying club named Me’raj Aviation Academy and crashed moments after takeoff.
