Incident Overview
A certified flight instructor (CFI) was taxiing an airplane after landing on a grass strip, preparing for another takeoff. While maneuvering to avoid bushes, the CFI turned the aircraft to the right. During this turn, the right main landing gear struck a hole in the grass surface.
Sequence of Events
The impact caused the airplane to spin around to the right. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing buckled as a result of the forces involved. The aircraft came to rest in that condition.
Pilot Statement
The pilot, who was the CFI, stated that the accident was due to his inattention and failure to maintain a visual lookout while taxiing. He attributed the incident to his own lack of awareness during the ground movement.
Conclusion
The investigation determined that the accident occurred solely due to the pilot's inattention while taxiing, leading to a collision with a pre-existing hole on the grass strip that was not avoided.
