Accident Synopsis (SACAA)
The co-pilot was also type-rated for the aircraft. The flight was conducted under instrument flight rules (IFR) by day and the flight plan was filed with FACT. Clear weather conditions prevailed at the time of the flight. The flight was conducted under the provisions of Part 91 of the Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) 2011 as amended.
The pilot stated that on Wednesday, 25 May 2022, the crew took off from FACT to Lynedoch Private Airfield with two passengers on-board and landed safely at the airfield. The two passengers disembarked the aircraft. A while later, the same crew took off again on a flight to Port Elizabeth International Aerodrome (FAPE) to refuel the aircraft. They then overnighted in Port Elizabeth. This flight was also uneventful. On Saturday morning, 28 May 2022, the pilots took off from FAPE to Lynedoch Private Airfield for the return leg to FACT. They landed at Lynedoch Private Airfield to pick-up the same two passengers. After loading the baggage, pre-flight checks followed by the pre-take-off checks were conducted.
The pilot-in-command stated that during the take-off run, the power was set for takeoff at 1800 feet/ pounds (lbs) of torque (TG) whilst the aircraft was still stationary with the brakes on. The flaps were configured for take-off / approach. Thereafter, the pilot-in-command released the brakes and proceeded with the take-off roll on Runway 07. The aircraft continued with the take-off roll and the co-pilot made a 60 knots call. During this time, the aircraft rolled onto an uneven surface, which caused the aircraft to bounce and, as a quick resolve to prevent the nose wheel from slamming down hard on the ground, the pilot applied a slight back pressure on the control column. Following the bounce, the aircraft landed on its main wheels.
