An Ayres S2R-T34 agricultural aircraft with registration RP-R3298 sustained substantial damage following a runway excursion at Osmena Aerodrome, Barangay Osmeña, Compostela Valley, Davao de Oro. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, sustained no injury. Visual meteorological conditions (VMC) prevailed at the time of the accident. The pilot was in training in accordance with the company’s training manual before he could be released for aerial spraying operations. After a series of touch-and-go (6 times), the pilot was released for solo flight by his flight instructor. The flight was uneventful from take-off to landing. The aircraft touched down at marker number 2; however, during the landing roll, when thrust reversers were applied, the aircraft started to veer to the right. Accordingly, the pilot trainee applied the necessary corrections to bring the aircraft to the runway center.
Subsequently, the aircraft made a sharp turn to the left, exited the runway, and rested on the canal between markers 6 and 7.
Primary Cause Factor
Failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the aircraft during landing roll.
