History of the Flight
On 3 June 2010 at approximately 07:10 UTC, a Piper PA-38-112 Tomahawk, registration D-EGZQ, operated by GlobiBússola, Lda, departed Cascais Aerodrome (LPCS) on a recreational flight to Ferreira do Alentejo Aerodrome (LPFA). The aircraft carried one pilot and one passenger.
Landing and Accident
Around 08:05 UTC, D-EGZQ overflew Ferreira do Alentejo to assess conditions, then entered a left downwind leg for runway 35. The pilot configured the aircraft for landing. During the landing on runway 35, the right main landing gear tire blew out. The pilot applied power to perform a go-around. However, due to the resulting reduced kinetic energy, the pilot stopped the engine and cut off the fuel supply. The aircraft came to a stop in terrain adjacent to the left side of runway 35.
Injuries and Damage
The incident caused no physical injuries. The aircraft sustained damage as a result of the accident. No other damage was reported.
Investigation
The investigation was conducted by GPIAA, the Portuguese aviation safety investigation board. The report notes the occurrence as a loss of control on landing. No probable cause was explicitly stated in the provided source.
