N611TX – Evolution Revo – 2010-10-10 NTSB Accident Report

On October 10, 2010, a Evolution Revo (N611TX) was involved in an incident near Gransonville, MD. All 2 people aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing and the certificated flight instructor's inadequate remedial action, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall during a go-around.

According to the flight instructor, he was giving flight instruction to another pilot who was not rated in special light sport weight-shift airplanes. The pilot receiving instruction was flying the airplane at the time of the accident from the front seat, with the flight instructor in the rear seat. Upon landing, the airplane bounced and when the flight instructor called for a go-around, the pilot receiving instruction pushed the control bar "out too far," causing the airplane to stall. The stall caused the airplane to roll to the left, touch the left wingtip to the ground, and the airplane cartwheeled.

This incident is documented in NTSB report ERA11CA045. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N611TX.
