This statement provides an update on the ongoing AAIB investigation into an accident involving a UAS CGT 50 unmanned aircraft at Radnor Range, Powys on 5 October 2023. During a demonstration flight, the unmanned aircraft suffered a structural failure of the right wing. It entered an uncontrolled descent, striking the ground near to some personnel working on the range. There were no injuries.
The investigation, which is nearing completion, has considered the reason for the structural failure, and for the ground personnels' proximity to the aircraft's flight path. A final report will be published in due course.
