During a leg as part of an excursion organised by seven pilots with two of the Aéroclub de Granville’s DR400 aeroplanes, the pilot of F-GSBZ probably flared too high at high speed. The passenger seated to the right of the pilot took control of the aircraft and adjusted the power to stabilise the path of the aeroplane which was banking right after bouncing off the runway. The plane deviated to the left of the runway. The right wing then made contact with the ground, in the safety area to the left of the runway, and the aeroplane spun 90° before coming to a stop.
Contributing factors
The following factors may have contributed to the initiation of the flare too high:
- The following of a steep slope in final approach, unusual for the pilot, possibly due to a lack of experience or the erroneous assessment of the height flying over the houses and trees under the final approach path.
- The suggestion of one of the passengers seated in the rear seat to reduce the power.
It was not possible to determine with accuracy the actions made on the flight controls by the pilot seated in the front left seat and by the passenger seated in the front right seat after the bounce and the roll to the right. The loss of control and the exit from the left of the runway after the second contact with the runway may have been the result of simultaneous and uncoordinated actions.
