AAIB investigation to Europa XS Monowheel, G-BYIK
Europa XS Monowheel (G-BYIK), stall during a go-around, Full Sutton Airfield, Yorkshire, 16 March 2024
The aircraft bounced while landing at Full Sutton Airfield and the pilot initiated a go-around. He opened the throttle, the aircraft lifted off and started to climb. However, he felt that he had pitched up too much and so levelled off at about 80 ft agl, at which point the left wing dropped and the aircraft descended. The left wing hit the ground and the aircraft partially cartwheeled damaging the propeller, wing tip and tail fin before coming to a stop. The pilot was able to exit the aircraft with minor injuries.
