AAIB investigation to Jodel DR250/160, G-BUVM: Loss of directional control after landing, Crosland Moor Airfield, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, 11 August 2020. The AAIB Final Report into the incident was published on 14 January 2021, and the following is the summary from it:
"The pilot was flying this tail-dragger aircraft with its co-owner to increase his currency and proficiency after a period of reduced flying activity due to public health restrictions. The flight had been uneventful, and the choice of Runway 25 for landing considered a 5 knot tailwind, upslope, and a hedge before the threshold of the reciprocal runway.
The pilot reported that they encountered buffeting and wind shear at about 50 feet, which he attributed to an adjacent quarry. He thought that the flare was normal, but the aircraft slewed left in the turbulent air and he overcorrected using right rudder. He reported that “subsequent oscillations required full rudder deflection with braking” and the aircraft departed the right side of the runway onto the grass. The right wing struck a metal gate post approximately eight feet from a raised embankment at the airfield perimeter, and the aircraft came to rest inverted. The passenger sustained serious injuries, but both occupants were able to exit through the left cockpit window, which had broken.
The pilot cited that the tail wind conditions during the approach, along with the local topography, combined with the lack of recent flying practice were factors that led to the accident".
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the above AAIB report "Extensive Damage". However, the airframe was sold on and re-registered on 1 December 2020 (post accident), and may be repaired to fly again. It had previously been wrecked in a crash in April 2004, only to be rebuilt to fly again, so it has happened before!
