Training flight stall and crash during go-around

No fatalities • Bishops Court AFB, United Kingdom • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft stalled and crashed during a missed approach attempt while conducting a local training mission, resulting in injuries to both crew members.

What happened

During the execution of a local training flight, an aircraft experienced a loss of control while maneuvering near the airfield. As the flight crew was performing the final approach phase of the mission, the pilot-in-command initiated a go-around procedure to abort the landing.

During this transition, the aircraft entered a stall condition. The subsequent impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were two injuries recorded among the crew members involved in the incident.

Findings

  • The flight was being conducted as part of a routine training syllabus.
  • The sequence of events began during the transition from approach to a missed approach.
  • The primary factor leading to the accident was an aerodynamic stall occurring during the go-around maneuver.

Probable cause

The aircraft entered a stall during a go-around attempt during the final approach phase.
