A Cessna F172N Skyhawk (Reims) crashed in a field near Le Grand-Sorillon in Abzac, Libournais. The pilot (64) died in the crash.
During the last turn to land at Libourne Airfield, the pilot lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft descended in a steep left turn to the ground.
The investigation could not determine the exact cause of this loss of control nor explain why the pilot was unable to correct the aircraft's bank.
If a break in the aileron control chain was found at a heavily corroded link, this complete opening of the chain is probably the result of the impact with the ground. However, the examinations carried out at the BEA as well as the exchanges with the manufacturer did not make it possible to validate this hypothesis nor to rule out that of an opening in flight of the corroded link. Such an opening would lead to a decrease in the tension of the linkage loop between the two control wheels, which could prevent any action on the ailerons, which would be free and positioned in the relative wind bed. This scenario could not be verified.
