...The Airplane Touch Down On The Nose Wheel. It Then Bounced, Flipped, And Landed Upside Down

Location: Ocala, FL Accident Number: ERA20LA234
Date & Time: 07/01/2020, 1030 EDT Registration: N820NG
Aircraft: Evektor Aerotechnik SPORTSTAR Injuries: 1 Fatal
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal

On July 1, 2020, about 1030 eastern daylight time, an Evektor-Aerotechnik Sportstar, N820NG, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at Leeward Air Ranch Airport (FD04), Ocala, Florida. The sport pilot was fatally injured. The light sport airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

According to local law enforcement officials, the pilot was returning to her home airfield following a morning flight to Williston, Florida. A witness reported that the airplane was landing on runway 18; however, it was higher than normal on final approach. The airplane touched down "quite a way" down the runway and bounced twice. The airplane then banked to the left and went out of sight at the left side of the runway. Another witness observed the airplane touch down on the nose wheel. It then bounced, flipped, and landed upside down.

An inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage. The wreckage was found inverted and there was no fire. The fuselage and both wings were structurally damaged.

The wreckage was retained for further examination.
