On Thursday 25 July 2019, the Patrouille de France (PAF) carried out a reconnaissance flight off the coast of Saint-Cyprien in preparation for an air show to be held in the afternoon. At the end of this flight, the PAF landed at Perpignan-Rivesaltes airport at around 11.15 am. During the deceleration phase, the pilot of Alphajet n° 146 (no.2) noticed a loss of left braking. He was unable to stop the aircraft and went off the runway at the end of the runway. On the approach to departmental road (RD) 117, which runs north of the airport, and only still couldn't stop the plane, he ejected. The plane finally stopped just before the RD 117, by the parapet of the RD 117. The pilot was injured. The plane was badly damaged.
Causes of the event
The cause of the occurrence was the failure of a seal on one of the pistons of the normal brake system, which resulted in a hydraulic fluid leakage on the "hot section" assembly. This fluid prevented braking by reducing friction between the stators and rotors. It also ignited, causing damage to the left brake block and a hydraulic leak in the emergency brake system.
The exact cause of the seal failure could not be determined.
Errors in the application of emergency procedures were noted, but the event could not have been prevented without these deviations.
