Rans S6-ES Coyote, G-CCTX

Summary:

皇冠体育app aircraft was returning from Fenland and was set up for an approach onto Runway 24E at Rufforth East. 皇冠体育app pilot reported that the wind was from 210潞 at 7 kt. He planned to land fairly deep into the runway to avoid a new barrier which had been erected at the runway threshold to limit vehicle access. Just before touchdown the pilot misjudged the crosswind and was unable to reduce the descent rate in time to prevent the aircraft landing heavily. It bounced into the air and touched down again, this time on the nose landing gear which then detached. 皇冠体育app aircraft came to rest 20 m further down the runway and both occupants, who were uninjured, exited without difficulty.
