Casa 1-131-E3B G-BSAJ: Substantially damaged in a landing accident 18-6-2023 at Duxford Airfield, Duxford, Cambridgeshire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only report, published on 12-10-2023, and the following is the summary from the report:
"Towards the end of the landing roll the aircraft yawed uncontrollably to the left due to a lack of tail wheel steering, which had operated satisfactorily during taxi and takeoff. The right wing and right landing gear were damaged.
Subsequent inspection revealed that there were ridges and burrs in the pilot-selectable tail wheel steering mechanism and application of a force, such as a load encountered during landing, could cause the mechanism to disengage resulting in the tail wheel castoring instead of steering. A regular operational check of the tail wheel steering system could help prevent a recurrence. The LAA are aware and plan to feature this in the ‘Engineering Matters’ section of their magazine".
G-BSAJ was built in 1954, and first UK registered on 23-1-1990
