| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot deployed the aircraft ballistic recovery system (CAPS deploy #45) after he became disorientated on an instrument approach into Gloucester Airport. He was not injured.
AAIB Conclusion
The initial disengagement and re-engagement of the autopilot caused the system to engage in default modes that the pilot was not expecting and, due to high workload, did not notice. The distraction and confusion caused by the unexpected aircraft response caused him to over-control in pitch and roll which further increased workload and led to him becoming disorientated to the extent that he felt he was unable to control the aircraft safely.
