Two pilots on-board a Jabiru 430 aircraft with registration ZU-EMV took off on a private flight from Port Elizabeth Airport (FAPE) to Woodman Airstrip near Plettenberg Bay. T
The pilot flying (PF) and seated on the left seat reported that the flight segments to Woodman Farm Airstrip were uneventful. The aircraft approached the airstrip at a speed of 65 knots (kts) and landed on the grass-covered Runway 12. During the landing roll, the pilot lost directional control of the aircraft, and it veered off to the left. The PF tried to correct the anomaly by engaging the right rudder, but the aircraft continued to veer off and exited the runway. The nose wheel rolled over a trench and the aircraft flipped over. Thereafter, the PF switched off the master switch. The pilots vacated the aircraft unassisted and unharmed. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Probable Cause(s)
Loss of directional control during the landing roll which resulted in the aircraft veering off to the left and exiting the runway; the nose wheel rolled over a trench and the aircraft flipped over.
