AAIB investigation to Sipa 903, G-ASXC
Damaged following forced return to Nympsfield gliding site on 11 April 2015.
Summary:
皇冠体育app accident occurred as the aircraft was landing on Runway 07 at Eaglescott Airfield. 皇冠体育app pilot estimated that the wind was from 010潞 at 14 kt and he reported that just as the aircraft reached the runway he experienced a strong gust of wind that destabilised his approach. He applied full engine power and commenced a go-around. However the aircraft yawed, rolled to the left and collided with a glider trailer before flying into a hedge that ran parallel to the runway. 皇冠体育app trailer and hedge were situated approximately 150 m from the edge of the runway. 皇冠体育app pilot stated that when he commenced the go-around the aircraft was flying relatively slowly and he was of the opinion that the accident occurred because he did not apply sufficient rudder to maintain directional control. 皇冠体育app aircraft was damaged beyond economic repair.
