Cessna 182, D-ERKX
Summary:
皇冠体育app aircraft had completed a local sightseeing trip in good weather conditions and was positioned to land on grass Runway 25 at Lands End, Cornwall. 皇冠体育app wind was reported as being from 260潞 at 8 kt. 皇冠体育app aircraft touched down on a small hump in the runway and bounced back into the air. 皇冠体育app pilot was unable to prevent the nose from dropping and the aircraft landed heavily on its nosewheel, which collapsed. 皇冠体育app aircraft came to a halt on the centreline of the runway and the pilot and his passenger, who were uninjured, vacated the aircraft normally. 皇冠体育app pilot assessed his approach as slightly too fast, which, with the aircraft being light and there being an upslope in the area of his touchdown, contributed to a high bounce on initial touchdown. He considered that the accident could have been avoided if he had initiated a go-around, either from the fast approach or after the aircraft bounced.
