Analysis of ultralight aircraft accidents
Belák, Richard ; Koštial, Rostislav (referee) ; Procházková, Hana (advisor)
This thesis deals with the analysis of accidents of ultralight aircraft that entered the reversed command flight mode and subsequently crashed. Unfortunately, most of the accidents ended fatally, and so this thesis is designed so that at the end of it the reader will have an understanding of what mistakes pilots have made and how to avoid them. The thesis explains the origins of the reversed command and discusses in detail the accidents it caused. The most at-risk group appears to be pilots who are in the 61–72 age range and have flown up to 600 flight hours. In some cases, these pilots had a break of several months before the flight and their aircraft was often not in serviceable condition. A frequent mistake was the effort to choose the so-called "impossible turn" and in some cases pilot indiscipline played a role.
