| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
While practicing touch-and-go landings, the aircraft experienced a loss of directional control and subsequent runway excursion during a touchdown at Moorabbin Airport (MBW/YMMB), Moorabbin, Victoria. The airplane nosed over, sustaining substantial damage, and the sole pilot onboard received serious injuries.
The investigation found that:
- The student pilot did not have the necessary qualifications and skills to safely operate the Bristell solo.
- The required Soar Aviation solo flight dispatch procedures were not followed. As a result, it was not identified that the student pilot was not authorised for, nor met the required competencies, to conduct the flight.
- During the conduct of a go-around at low level, following deviation from the runway centreline, the aircraft aerodynamically stalled and commenced a spin.
