The aircraft, built in 2008, was the first Eclipse to be registered in the African continent.

South African aviation agency officials have started their investigation into Monday’s crash of an Eclipse EA500. The accident, the first fatal mishap involving the very light jet, killed the owner-pilot, 57-year-old South African businessman Kobus Dicks. When he took ownership of the aircraft in 2013, it was the first Eclipse to be registered in the African continent.
