| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During the takeoff to Rennes-Saint-Jacques airfield, the pilot of a Robin DR.400/160 Major (F-GKQG) probably took off with the flaps in the full down position without realizing it. Shortly after the rotation, the aircraft's trajectory deviated to the left. The aircraft touched down again and continued on its course until it struck an aircraft (Robin DR.400/120 F-GXJR) and a hangar.
The three POB in the Robin DR.400/160 Major and the two POB in the Robin DR.400/120 Dauphin 2+2 were not injured, but both aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Contributing Factors
Possible contributing factors to the loss of control on takeoff were:
- Failure to check the flap position prior to initiating the takeoff, or inadequate verification of the flap position;
- An unanticipated takeoff due to unintentional full flap extension;
- Actions at the controls leading to performances (acceleration, climb) lower than those expected, taking into account the configuration;
- Insufficient correction of the right rudder resulting in a deviation of the trajectory to the left;
- The lack of recent experience of the pilot on the DR400-160, more used to fly aircraft equipped with a less powerful engine (like the DR400-120) and for which the engine effects are less salient.
