皇冠体育app

Rockwell Commander 112TC, N4599W

Summary:

皇冠体育app accident occurred during a short field landing of a differences training and familiarisation flight. 皇冠体育app instructor flew the approach and landing on Runway 18 as the student was not confident with crosswind conditions. From the windsock, the wind was estimated to be 250/260 at 10 kt. After the flare, the aircraft floated longer than expected and full power was applied on touchdown as there was insufficient stopping distance remaining. 皇冠体育app pilot applied back pressure early in order to clear an obstacle and the aircraft touched down in the next field. 皇冠体育app pilot then saw a dyke and trees and elected to get airborne once more. 皇冠体育app port undercarriage hit a tree, resulting in the aircraft coming down backwards, causing significant damage to the airframe and leaking fuel into the field. 皇冠体育app crew were uninjured and exited the aircraft unaided.

皇冠体育app pilot attributed the accident to flying the approach too fast with no headwind component and that the late go-around decision was due to the bright sunshine directly ahead reducing his visual cues.
