Incident
On 7 June 2025, a Bristell UL ultralight aircraft, registration LY-BII, was departing from a runway when the pilot began the takeoff run. During this roll, the pilot experienced difficulty in controlling the aircraft's direction of movement. In response, the pilot aborted the takeoff, brought the aircraft to a stop, and conducted an inspection. After the inspection, the pilot decided to taxi the aircraft back to the apron.
During the taxi, while still on the runway, the nose landing gear of the aircraft broke. The pilot was not injured. Additionally, one blade of the propeller broke off as a result of the incident.
Aircraft Damage
The aircraft sustained damage to the nose landing gear, which fractured during the taxi. The propeller also sustained damage, with one blade separating from the hub. No other damage was reported in the source.
Aftermath
The pilot, uninjured, vacated the aircraft after the nose gear failure. The aircraft remained on the runway following the incident. The specific cause of the directional control difficulty and the subsequent landing gear failure was not stated in the source.
