Cessna A152 Aerobat G-BOSO was substantially damaged when it overturned in a landing accident at Redhill Aerodrome, South Nutfield, Redhill, Surrey.
The pilot made a normal approach but the sun was in his eyes, impairing his vision, and the aircraft bounced on touchdown. He initially pulled back on the control column but then pitched the aircraft nose down to improve his view, and the aircraft struck the ground and turned over. The pilot vacated the aircraft without assistance and sustained only minor injuries. He subsequently observed that a go-around would have been a better response to the initial bounce.
Cessna 152 Aerobat G-BOSO was built in 1981, and was previously US registered as N761PD. It became G-BOSO on 25.5.1988, and has had three UK-registered owners since.
