On 30 May 2011, a Tecnam P92-JS (OK-VOR) operated by F AIR s.r.o. overran runway 33 at Zbraslavice Airport during a solo navigation flight. The pilot was not injured; the aircraft sustained damage to its landing gear, propeller, and cowling.

Flight Information

On 30 May 2011, a solo student pilot conducted a navigation flight as part of her PPL(A) training. The aircraft, a Tecnam P92-JS (OK-VOR), departed Brno-Tuřany Airport (LKTB) at 09:30 UTC. The planned route included intermediate landings at Jindřichův Hradec (LKJH), Zbraslavice (LKZB), and Moravská Třebová (LKMK) before returning to LKTB. The pilot held a valid Class 2 medical certificate and had logged 41 hours 33 minutes total flight time on type, including 8 hours 23 minutes as pilot-in-command.

Accident Sequence

At 13:32 UTC, the pilot entered the traffic pattern for runway 33 at Zbraslavice. No AFIS service was available at the time. After an initial go-around, she completed a second approach. Touchdown occurred in the first third of runway 33. The aircraft continued rolling at a constant speed, departed the runway at the threshold of runway 15, crossed a grassy area, a road ditch, and an embankment, and came to rest on the right side of road 162 near Štipoklasy. The total ground roll was approximately 850 meters. The pilot was not injured and reported the accident to her instructor.

Aircraft Damage

The aircraft sustained damage during the overrun: the nose landing gear was torn off, the right main landing gear leg fractured, propeller blade tips were damaged, and the lower engine cowling was damaged. The engine stopped abruptly due to forces on the propeller upon ground contact. The battery master switch was found in the OFF position. Cockpit instruments were intact and read zero.

Meteorological Conditions

Weather at the time was reported as nearly clear with few cumulus clouds at 5000 ft AGL, visibility over 10 km, and surface wind from 120°–150° at 10–14 knots. The pilot observed the windsock and assessed the wind as perpendicular to the runway, leading her to choose a right-hand circuit for runway 33.
