Rotorsport UK MT-03 G-CEYR: Substantially damaged 16.7.2032 when rolled over in a landing accident at Eaglescott Airfield, Burrington, Umberleigh, Devon. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only report dated 14.12.2023, and the following is the summary from the report:
"The student pilot had just touched the gyroplane down after some solo circuits; the wind was reported as 12 kt on the runway heading but varying slightly from left to right. After touchdown, the pilot moved the stick forward and slightly left (into wind) while the rotors were still turning but the gyroplane “felt out of control” and rolled over onto its side. The pilot stated that the accident would have been avoided if the stick had been held back until the rotors had stopped and then pushed forward".
Rotorsport UK MT-03 G-CEYR was built in 2008, and has had two UK-registered owners from new. (First owner 14.2.2008 to 15.3.2013, and second owner from 15.3.2013 to date). According to the AirNav RadarBox website (see link #2) G-CEYR has not flown since this incident
