AAIB investigation to Flight Design CT2K, G-TOMJ
Loss of control during ground run, Sackville Farm Airstrip, Bedfordshire, 17 February 2019.
Summary:
The pilot reported that he had undertaken a short cross-country flight and returned to Sackville Farm airstrip to find that the wind was stronger than forecast. He estimated that on landing there would be a 12 kt, 90° crosswind from the right. He made a wing down approach with the aircraft initially touching down on the right mainwheel before all the wheels settled onto the ground. As the aircraft decelerated, the right mainwheel hit a mole hill which caused the aircraft to roll to the right and the right wingtip to touch the ground. The aircraft then performed a ground loop to the left before coming to a halt. The nose strut was found to be bent and there was slight damage to the right wingtip.
