During the landing at Arnborg Glider Airfield (EKAB) the nosewheel of a Piper PA-28-235 Cherokee Pathfinder dug in and separated. Both wings were damaged with a result of fuel leaks.
The sole pilot was not injured.
CONCLUSIONS
The following factors in combination are assessed to have influenced the course of events:
- The pilot's training condition for operations on grass runways.
- The nature of the runway in the take-off area.
- The pilot's control inputs during the take-off run.
- Continuation rather than cancellation of the take-off run.
The aircraft became airborne briefly but ended up on the nose and crashed.
