AAIB investigation to Pegasus Quik, G-CDCF
Loss of control on ground and subsequent runway excursion, Northrepps Airfield, Norfolk, 30 September 2023
During the takeoff roll on a training flight, G-CDCF departed the runway’s edge and overturned, despite steering corrections made by both the student and instructor. The instructor believes that the student had inadvertently applied the brake pedal whilst countering the pressure he was applying on the foot throttle, whereas the student believed that his feet were clear of the brake pedal. The absence of further information precluded the reconciliation of these differences and the identification of the cause of the runway excursion.
