63-yro pilot, crashed and burned shortly after take-off...
I believe this is the first fatal in Italy (in one of the "Big Three" gyros) since 2016, and only the second-ever in that country. [Italy has about 200 registered modern gyros.]
Italy, along with the UK and Germany, has among the best gyro safety records in the world.
The next report mentions 30 hours experience, although unclear whether total or on the new machine. Elsewhere described as an experienced pilot.
This was the third worldwide M16 fatal this year. [simple randomness, I'm sure]
Sincere condolences to all affected.
