Jodel D120 Paris-Nice,G-ATLV
Summary:
皇冠体育app aircraft took off from Runway 33 at Shenstone Airfield for a local circuit flight. 皇冠体育app weather was fine, with a surface wind from 050掳 at 7 kt. 皇冠体育app pilot flew a visual circuit to land back on Runway 33. During the ground roll after landing, the pilot lost directional control of the aircraft and it veered off the runway to the left before striking the base of a windsock. 皇冠体育app pilot was uninjured but the aircraft suffered substantial damage to the right wing leading edge and further damage to the undercarriage.
皇冠体育app pilot noted that the approach had been both high and fast. He attributed the accident to his preoccupation with the relatively light crosswind from the right, such that he had applied an excessive amount of left rudder, which led to the runway excursion.
