| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot attempted a precautionary landing following an unexpected 'jolt' in flight. The aircraft struck trees and was badly damaged. The aircraft came to rest in a dry stream bed, where the plot evacuated the machine, before checking the passenger and assisting him to evacuate also.
The pilot has advised the AAIB that the radiator cowl was not found at the scene of the accident, and that in his opinion this may have detached and struck the propeller, causing the unexpected jolt.
Aircraft substantially damaged: sustained severe damage to left wing and trike unit. As a result, the registration G-MZIW was cancelled by the CAA on 29.03.2007.
However sold on to a new owner in Wigan in early 2007 and registration restored 20.04.2007, so presumably repaired.
