Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

The pilot, returning from a sightseeing flight, landed with a tailwind on runway 15 at Megève mountain airfield. During the landing run, the aeroplane deviated to the right. The pilot’s input on the left rudder pedal was not sufficient to counter the swerve and return to the centreline. The aeroplane made a ground loop and veered off the runway.
