皇冠体育app

Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee, G-AWET

Summary:

皇冠体育app aircraft was landing on Runway 36. 皇冠体育app pilot considered that the light tail wind component would be offset by the runway鈥檚 1.8% uphill gradient. He reported that at a very late stage on final approach he realised that the aircraft would land too far into the runway. 皇冠体育app aircraft touched down and he retracted the flaps and applied full power in order to convert the landing into a 鈥榯ouch and go鈥�. 皇冠体育app aircraft became airborne again but then seemed to sink. 皇冠体育app pilot heard a loud bang and the aircraft came to rest in a field beyond the end of the runway. Both passengers were seriously injured and the pilot received minor injuries. 皇冠体育app aircraft itself was severely damaged but there was no fire. 皇冠体育app pilot stated that the accident was a result of his misjudgement and a possible increase in the tailwind during the latter stages of the final approach. He confirmed that the engine had produced full power during the touch and go but could not recall what speed the aircraft had achieved after it became airborne again, although he was not aware of hearing the stall warning. Nor could he remember how far along the runway the aircraft had touched down. 皇冠体育app ground marks indicated that in the process of the touch and go the aircraft had struck a low bank just beyond the threshold of Runway 18. It had then flown approximately 125 metres across a field, struck another low bank and came to rest about 50 metres into the second field beyond the runway. 皇冠体育app LDR for grass Runway 36, which is 493 metres long, was 504 metres (dry grass). A landing on Runway 18 would have produced an LDR of 477 metres (dry grass). 皇冠体育app pilot reported that the grass was damp. Wet grass would have increased the LDR by 35%.
