Description
The Li-2T aircraft took off from the grass runway at Budars, Hungary, for a training/exam flight. On board was a pilot receiving an exam flight to be captain, and his instructor. Because of the south-southeast wind direction, he had to go around twice due too being too high on the approach. The instructor warned the pilot that if he had to make another go around, he would fail his exam flight. The third approach was also high and the aircraft touched down long. It went off the end of the runway and crashed through a fence. It then rolled over the road and ended up on a railroad embankment. There were no injuries.
Primary Cause
South-southwest wind conditions caused excessive approach elevation, leading to a prolonged landing and subsequent impact.South-southwest wind conditions caused excessive approach elevation, leading to a prolonged landing and subsequent impact.Share on:
