AAIB investigation to Socata TB20, N20TB
Wheels-up landing, Blackbushe Airport, Hampshire, 27 September 2017.
Summary:
The pilot had intended to fly to Sandown, but on checking the weather he decided that it was unsuitable for VFR flight. As it was his passenger바카라 사이트™s first flight in an aircraft, to avoid disappointment, the pilot planned to fly a couple of circuits.
He took off, climbed to the circuit height of 800 ft and performed one circuit, which ended in a wheels-up landing.
The pilot stated that he was normally rigorous in performing his checks on finals and could not understand why he had omitted them on this occasion. He suggested that a contributory factor to the accident may have been that he was wearing a recently purchased noise-cancelling headset, which may have made the sound of the landing gear warning chimes less apparent to him.
