The aircraft, a Bristell NG5, took off from Kilrush Airfield (EIKH), with two pilots on board. The purpose of the flight was to
familiarise one of the new owners with the aircraft. During the flight, two stall exercises were carried out. Both stall exercises were commenced from an altitude of approximately 3300 ft. During recovery from the second stall, the aircraft departed from controlled flight and commenced a rapid descent, entered a spiral dive, following which the aircraft entered a
flat spin. The aircraft remained in the flat spin until it impacted the ground in an agricultural grass field, approximately 5.2 nautical miles (NM) south of EIKH, at Belan, Co. Kildare. The aircraft was destroyed. Both occupants were fatally injured. There was no fire.
Probable Cause
The aircraft entered a flat spin following a departure from controlled flight during an attempted stall recovery.
Contributory Causes:
1. The subject aircraft’s CG was beyond the aft CG Limit, making the aircraft more susceptible to entry into a flat spin, and more difficult to recover from such a spin.
2. Reduced longitudinal stability due to the aircraft’s CG being beyond the published aft limit.
3. Incorrect Weight and Balance information published in the POH led the pilots to believe the aircraft would be within the required CG limits during the flight.
4. Reaction of the aircraft to the application of engine power during attempted stall recovery.
