AAIB investigation to Quik GTR, G-GTRX 030721

Quik GTR (G-GTRX), loss of control on landing, Credenhill, Hereford, 3 July 2021.

Summary:

The pilot was conducting a series of local flights between Broadmeadow Airfield and Credenhill, in good weather. Three previous landings on Runway 26, which is a grass strip, had been conducted without issue. The pilot stated that the aircraft was high and slow on the approach to the final landing, which resulted in the aircraft bouncing as it touched down. The pilot considered that engine power was applied too late in response, and this resulted in the aircraft accelerating into the ground in a nose down attitude, rather than flying away. The pilot and passenger suffered serious injuries , but received immediate medical attention from staff located onsite.
