AAIB investigation to Skyranger Swift 912S(1), G-UPHI
Aircraft veered into a wall on landing, private strip, Aughrim, County Down, 2 February 2019.
Summary:
The pilot was landing to the left of the runway centreline to avoid rutted ground to the right but the aircraft veered off the runway during the landing due to wet, sloping ground. Despite applying corrective control inputs, he could not prevent the aircraft colliding with a boundary wall and coming to rest in a ditch. The pilot felt that had he requested a full briefing from the owner of the airfield, he would have landed further to the right of the centreline, to stay on the level ground.
