AAIB investigation to Jodel D112, G-BEZZ
Aircraft struck the ground on go-around, Runway 26R at Barton Aerodrome, Lancashire, 29 April 2025
During a return flight from East Kirkby Airfield to Manchester Barton Aerodrome (Barton) the aircraft performed two go-arounds. On the second, the engine stopped just after the go-around was initiated. The aircraft dropped a wing and struck the ground within the perimeter of the airfield.
It was suspected that the engine failed due to fuel starvation, but the investigation did not establish if this was because the aircraft ran out of fuel or because the fuel supply was interrupted for another reason.
