The pilot who died in an accident at Hinton-in-the-Hedges on Friday has now been formally identified as 39-year-old Adam Abraham. Mr Abraham lived in south-west London. He died after the light aircraft he was flying was involved in an accident at the south Northamptonshire airfield just after noon on Friday."
UPDATE #2: The following is the summary from the official AAIB report into the accident...
"Following a bounced landing, the student pilot applied power to go around. The aircraft lifted off, adopting a level attitude with a small climb rate. The pilot extended the flaps but did not control the natural tendency for the aircraft to pitch up as a consequence. The aircraft adopted a steep nose-up attitude, stalled and entered a spin to the left from which there was insufficient height to recover. The aircraft struck the ground in a steep nose-down attitude."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Aircraft destroyed".As a result, the registration G-ATKF was cancelled by the CAA on 9-3-2016 as "Destroyed".
