Summary:
After a 30-minute checkout with his instructor, the student was despatched for a solo local flight. After being airborne for about 30 minutes, the student rejoined the circuit to land. 皇冠体育app instructor, watching from the ground, saw the aircraft round out 鈥減erfectly鈥� but, as the wheels touched down, the aircraft veered violently to the left and flipped onto its right side. 皇冠体育app student was airlifted to hospital as a precaution but was released later that afternoon.
皇冠体育app student admitted that he forgot to check, as he had been instructed to do, that the nosewheel steering was straight whilst on the downwind leg and final approach. 皇冠体育app instructor, who described his student as 鈥渧ery able and competent鈥�, attributes the omission to a momentary lapse of concentration by the student.
