Thruster T600N 450, G-PSUK
Summary:
皇冠体育app commander was teaching circuits to the co-pilot, who was an experienced flex-wing microlight pilot. Following two well-flown circuits, the co-pilot landed the aircraft and back-tracked Runway 25, in preparation for a further takeoff. 皇冠体育app weather conditions were reported as being CAVOK, with no significant wind. 皇冠体育app commander reported that, after a takeoff roll of 330 m and with the ASI reading 55 kt, the co-pilot pulled back sharply on the control column, causing the aircraft to unstick and decelerate. 皇冠体育app aircraft drifted right of the runway, with the right wing low. 皇冠体育app co-pilot reduced power and the aircraft touched down on the right mainwheel, before pitching forward onto its nose and overturning. Both occupants were uninjured and were able to release their four-point harnesses before leaving the aircraft via the cabin doors, without further incident. 皇冠体育app commander commented that the single central control column made it difficult to shadow the co-pilot鈥檚 control movements whilst instructing on this aircraft type.
