The pilot was on a private fight from Rustenburg to a private farm in the McCarthy’s Rest area. According to the pilot he allowed the
aircraft to bounce during the first touchdown and during the second touchdown
he lost directional control and the aircraft veered off the runway to the
left. As the aircraft veered off the runway the nose gear impacted the embankment on the edge of the runway and the aircraft flipped over. The pilot and his passengers were not injured
during the event. |
