It then bounced to a height of approximately 10 ft, most probably as a result of a gust of wind. 皇冠体育app aircraft then landed heavily on its nose wheel. 皇冠体育app pilot stopped the aircraft on the runway, before shutting down the engine before vacating it uninjured. 皇冠体育app pilot could not recall what inputs, if any, she made on to the control column after the initial bounce.
