What happened
On 22 January 2005, a Cessna F152, registration G-TAYS, was performing a private flight at Fife Airport, Scotland. The pilot, a student, intended to execute a touch-and-go landing on Runway 07 amidst a 5-knot northerly wind. While the initial approach and landing appeared routine, the aircraft began to yaw to the left during the ground roll. In an effort to stay on the runway centerline, the pilot held the flaps in the extended position and applied right rudder.
Upon retracting the flaps and applying full power, the aircraft experienced a much more intense leftward yaw. The pilot attempted to counteract this with full right rudder, but the aircraft lurched significantly. Fearing a loss of control due to the right wing dropping, the pilot aborted the takeoff by reducing throttle and easing rudder pressure. The aircraft subsequently veered off the paved runway onto the grass. During the excursion, the nose landing gear struck a ridge, causing the aircraft to pitch upward and then downward, resulting in the nosegear collapse and propeller damage.
