Gemini Flash IIA, G-MVPI

Summary:

皇冠体育app student, who had recently purchased the aircraft, was undergoing training in Gemini Flash operation with an experienced instructor. After a 鈥渨ell flown circuit and good landing鈥� on Runway 09, the student, who was handling the aircraft, lost control of ground steering during the ground roll and the aircraft veered to the right and started to tip over. 皇冠体育app instructor was unable to intervene because G-MVPI did not have dual control of the nosewheel steering and the aircraft rolled onto its side at about 10 mph.

皇冠体育app instructor instinctively extended an arm outside the open cockpit as the aircraft rolled over and suffered a broken arm and wrist. 皇冠体育app student was uninjured. 皇冠体育app instructor was of the opinion that the student, who was used to later models of trikes fitted with 鈥榮elf centring鈥� steering, may have been unfamiliar with the steering characteristics of G-MVPI, which was an early model without this feature. He also believed that dual steering controls might have prevented the accident.
