Twin Couldn’t Maintain Altitude Before Freeway Crash Landing

The instructor and student took off just after 6 a.m. in the four-place twin, which is powered by 100-horsepower Rotax 912 engines, from Centennial Airport in Englewood. They did five full-stop landings there before heading to Perry Park Airport in Larkspur to practice single-engine procedures.
