Accident Number: WPR19LA221
Date & Time: 08/14/2019, 1800 PDT
Registration: N477AG
Aircraft: AutoGyro Cavalon
Injuries: 1 Minor
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
On August 14, 2019, about 1800 Pacific daylight time, an experimental Auto-Gyro Cavalon, N477AG, impacted the runway shortly after takeoff from Sanderson Field Airport (SHN), Shelton, Washington. The sports pilot received minor injuries. The gyrocopter received substantial damage to the empennage and fuselage. The gyrocopter was registered to the pilot who was operating it as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed around the airport about the time of the accident, and no flight plan was filed. The local flight originated from SHN at about 1700.
According to the pilot, he was conducting takeoff and landings from runway 23. He reported that he had previously been lifting off the runway at about 56 miles per hour and on the fourth takeoff roll he noticed the airspeed had reached 60 knots. He then applied slight aft control stick. The gyrocopter rapidly pitched up, nose high into the air and began to yaw to the right. He said that he heard a loud bang and the gyrocopter quickly struck the runway. He recalled the engine had stopped running when the gyrocopter came to a stop.
Examination of the accident site revealed the gyrocopter struck the runway slightly left of centerline, rolled onto its left side and slide about 170 ft to the left edge of the runway. All major components remained affixed to the gyrocopter. Small fragments of fiberglass and acrylic were scattered along the runway from the initial contact point to the final resting spot.
The gyrocopter was recovered for further examination.
