EV-97 TeamEurostar UK, G-CDTU

Summary:

皇冠体育app student pilot was landing on Runway 20 as part of a qualifying cross-country exercise. 皇冠体育app wind was from 120潞 at 8 to 9 kt. He rounded-out smoothly with right rudder applied to correct for drift caused by the crosswind. On touchdown he held the stick back and centred the rudder in preparation for lowering the nosewheel. At this point the aircraft weathercocked to the left, possibly due to a gust. When he tried to compensate by applying right rudder, he found that it was ineffective due to the low speed and, with the nose still raised, the aircraft ran off the left side of the runway and into a ploughed field. 皇冠体育app rough ground bent the nosewheel back and the propeller struck the ground.

皇冠体育app student said he had learned to lower the nose earlier to maintain control as rudder effectiveness decreases.
