皇冠体育app

Summary:

皇冠体育app owner of the aircraft and his passenger, who was a professional pilot, were to carry out a flight to familiarise the passenger with the Tiger Moth. 皇冠体育app owner occupied the front cockpit with the passenger in the rear cockpit, from which the aircraft is flown when solo. 皇冠体育appy completed a first sortie, which comprised general handling and circuits and was followed by a short break. 皇冠体育appy agreed to do some more circuits with the passenger flying the aircraft.

After the first landing, the owner took control and performed a rolling takeoff and made an early right turn, estimated by the passenger to be at about 20-30 ft agl. 皇冠体育app passenger noticed that the aircraft was becoming increasingly cross-controlled with full right rudder and left control stick, which resulted in the aircraft rolling into a steeply banked turn to the right and striking the surface of a crop field in a steep nosedown attitude. 皇冠体育app pilot, in the front cockpit, was fatally injured and the passenger was seriously injured but able to release himself from the wreckage and drag himself clear.

皇冠体育app accident occurred because the increasing amount of right rudder was not reduced and left roll control stick reached the limit of its travel causing the aircraft to enter a descending, steepening turn to the right, and possibly to enter an incipient spin, before striking the ground. 皇冠体育app reason for the loss of control was not determined, but the possibility that the pilot became incapacitated could not be excluded.
