AAIB investigation to Pioneer 300, G-VOLO
Nose landing gear collapse on landing at Sutton Bank Airfield, Yorkshire on 24 April 2016.
Summary:
The aircraft touched down normally on the mainwheels. However, shortly after the nosewheel settled, it started to collapse and the propeller struck the ground. It is suspected that the retraction/extension mechanism may have been misrigged or the rigging had changed in service.
