AAIB investigation to Jodel D120 Paris-Nice, G-BKCW
Veered off the right side of the runway on landing at Perth Aerodrome, Perth and Kinross, 19 June 2019.
Summary:
During the takeoff from Runway 27, the engine lost power but the pilot managed to climb to 2,400 ft aal. He carried out performance checks, which appeared normal, and returned to the airfield circuit where, once again, power reduced. He turned onto the final approach but, at about 10 ft above the runway, power increased, the aircraft yawed left and, because the pilot was applying right rudder as the aircraft touched down, it departed the right side of the runway.
