Reduction in engine power in initial climb, loss of control, collision with the ground, post-impact fire
Responsible entity
Investigation progression
Closed
During the third runway circuit, the pilot experienced a drop in engine power at low height. It is likely that the pilot then tried to return to the aerodrome by turning right. During this forced landing phase, the minimum flight speed was probably not maintained and the pilot lost control of
the aeroplane.
The lack of flight experience on a new type of aeroplane may have contributed to the inadequate management of the aeroplane’s path after the drop in engine power and may have led to the loss of control.
