The Bölkow Bo-209 Monsun aircraft, which was fitted with a retractable nose landing gear, took-off from runway 09 at Navan Airfield (EIHH) with two occupants on board. The nose landing gear was retracted after take-off, as normal. Following one circuit of the airfield, a landing on the same runway was carried out. During the landing roll, the propeller and the lower engine cowling made contact with the surface of the grass runway, as the nose landing gear had not been extended prior to landing. The aircraft’s propeller and engine cowlings sustained damage. The two occupants were uninjured and exited the aircraft unaided. There was no fire.

Probable Cause
The aircraft’s nose landing gear was not extended prior to landing, resulting in damage to the propeller and engine cowlings, and the engine being shock-loaded.
Contributory Cause(s)
1. Lack of operational familiarity and experience on the aircraft type.
2. The layout of the ‘FOR DESCENT’ checklist carried on board the aircraft and possible obscuration of some of its contents during the occurrence flight.
3. The activation point of the throttle position switch was closer to idle than the position specified in the aircraft’s ‘Technical Description’ document.

Aircraft was built in 1971 with retractable nosegear, f/f ass D-EFJG 11MAY71, rgd 14NAY71. After 5 owners a CofA for export to Ireland was issued on 08APR99 and the ownership of Roy Truesdale (Newry) was lrgd in JUL99. Last annual inspection had been in UK on 09JAN19 after noseleg overhaul.

WHILE CONDUCTING A BFR FLIGHT, THE CFI CALLED FOR A SHORT FIELD LANDING AT CHATHAM, MASSACHUSETTS. AT THE TIME OF THE APPROACH THERE WAS HAZE AND POOR VISIBILITY. THE CFI STATED, '...WE WERE GETTING LOW BUT STILL OK. THE AIRCRAFT GOT TO A FLAT APPROACH WITH NOSE HIGH AND GETTING BEHIND THE POWER CURVE ... BOTH THE PILOT AND I REACTED TOO LATE FOR THIS PARTICULAR AIRPLANE TO RECOVER ALTITUDE.' THE AIRPLANE MUSHED INTO TREE TOPS. THE NOSE WHEEL CAUGHT ON A CHAIN LINK FENCE AND THE AIRPLANE ROLLED OVER.

Probable Cause: THE PILOT STALLED THE AIRCRAFT WHILE LANDING. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THE ACCIDENT WERE HAZE AND THE PILOT APPLIED POWER TOO LATE TO ARREST THE AIRPLANE'S SINK RATE.
