Accident to the WASSMER-Jodel D120 registered F-GUZY on 29/03/2014 at Vannes Meucon (Morbihan)

During the take-off run, the crosswind component and engine effects caused the aircraft to enter a left yaw, to which the pilot most probably responded by over-applying the rudder pedals and unintentionally applying the brake control at the top of the rudder pedals. These actions, taken in response to the deviations from the path, exacerbated the aircraft's movements, resulting in the left-hand ground loop. The failure of the main landing gear was caused by the lateral forces exerted during the deviation from the path before the ground loop.
