Accident Details
On 29 April 2017, at 16:20 local time, a Bücker Bü 131 APM, registration HB-UVF, operated by Bückerverein Viktor Foxtrott and owned privately, suffered an accident during the landing phase at Hausen am Albis airfield (LSZN). The flight was conducted under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) as a private operation.
Aircraft and Crew
The aircraft was a Bücker Bü 131 APM. The flight instructor, a Swiss national born in 1964, held a Private Pilot Licence (PPL(A)) issued by EASA. He had accumulated 1415 total flight hours, with 14.5 hours in the last 90 days, and 280 hours on type (2.3 hours in the last 90 days). The pilot, a Swiss national born in 1979, also held a PPL(A) issued by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (BAZL). His total flight time was 284 hours, with no flight hours in the last 90 days, and 27 hours on type (0 hours in the last 90 days). Both occupants were not injured.
Sequence of Events
According to the report, after a correct and fully executed landing, the aircraft began to deviate slightly during the rollout phase before a go-around. The pilot attempted to correct this deviation immediately but, in the process, must have applied the brakes. This action led to the aircraft performing a straight nose-over. The aircraft came to rest inverted, facing opposite to the runway direction.
Damage
The aircraft sustained heavy damage: the fuselage was broken and the wing structure was deformed. No third-party damage occurred.
