AAIB investigation to Chaser S 447, G-MYYD
Loss of directional control after landing, Barhams Mill Farm Airfield, Egerton, Kent, 18 July 2018.
Summary:
The pilot had difficulty controlling the microlight’s direction after landing due to the position of the steering yoke relative to the throttle. This led to him over-correcting when the aircraft deviated to the right, causing it to tip over.
This was the pilot’s first flight on the type and he considered the space around his legs and feet was restricted, contributing to his problems controlling the aircraft.
