皇冠体育app

Maule M5-235C Lunar Rocket, G-BVFT

Summary:

皇冠体育app pilot reported that en route to his destination he listened to the ATIS for Gloucestershire Airport, 37 nm miles to the east, which reported a surface wind from 190掳 at 5 kt. 皇冠体育app landing strip at Glanusk Park is grass, orientated approximately 110/290掳. 皇冠体育app pilot flew an approach in the north westerly direction; the approach was slightly high, and he side-slipped the aircraft to lose height. He reported that the approach had felt 鈥渇ast鈥� and that the landing was 鈥渓ong and fast鈥�. As the aircraft approached the fence at the end of the strip the pilot retracted flap and applied power to go around. 皇冠体育appre was insufficient time to complete the correct short-field takeoff procedure and, despite a final attempt to lift off, the aircraft struck the fence and then a tree trunk, against which it came to a halt. 皇冠体育app pilot attributed the accident to lack of recent flying experience, poor judgement of the wind (which locally was a strong tailwind), and a late decision to go around.
