Businessman Ivaylo Penchev, who crashed his private plane today, was placed in “Pirogov” neurosurgery and remains in treatment after examinations have shown there is evidence of fractures. It is contactable and suitable and, according to the director of the emergency hospital Prof. Asen Baltov, there is no danger to his life.
In reality, the machine did not fall, but rather landed firmly, collapsing from a height of only 5 meters, experts said, who believe this is probably a technical reason.
Around 1:10 p.m., the Waltopia owner boarded his plane and took off from the airport near the Lesnovo village in Sofia. He reported to the tower to reduce engine thrust and near Novi Khan decided to return. Upon approaching the airport, Penchev reported that his speed was decreasing, bTV reported.
“The pilot who was watching him from the ground instructed him to release his nose, to increase his speed, because he saw that he was hanging, that he was disappointing him, but the plane crashed, hitting the left wing and drag on the track. It hit the runway, but there was a 2-3 knot wind, “Hristo Hristov, from the special aviation events investigation unit, told reporters.
The plane stopped on the spot. The businessman was in contact and the pilot who was guiding him told him to stay until the ambulance arrived. It was only when the doctors arrived that he left and was transported to Pirogov.

The plane is a Skylider 600, two seats. Its price varies between 95,000 and 160,000 euros. It depends on the equipment and weighs 320 kilograms without passengers. Your documents will be required, as well as those of the employer. He has a razor and so far everything is in order, investigators of the plane incident said.
It has been established that the plane has not flown in recent months since the state of emergency was imposed, as the airport was also closed.
“It has not flown for more than 3-4 months, there can be many reasons: fuel system, oil system,” explained Hristo Hristov of the special unit to investigate aviation events.
“There is damage, but it should not be the reason, I am not in a hurry to give an opinion at this time, because all the units have not yet been examined,” added researcher Mikhail Kamenov.
Ivaylo Penchev is the founder and CEO of Waltopia, the world’s largest artificial climbing wall company. He is a connoisseur of luxury items, such as the Lamborghini you keep in your office.
“I bought it to see it, I drive it a little bit. I was ripped apart by inspections. I had over 50 inspections last year,” he explained some time ago.
The businessman was last in the limelight in mid-March, when he announced that he would donate more than BGN 200,000 for respirators to Alexandrovska Hospital, but on the condition that COVID19 treat their employees first. The hospital rejected the donation.
