On 24 September 2014, the pilot of a Pacific Aerospace Ltd PAC 750XL aircraft, registered P2-TLF, operated by North Coast Aviation (NCA), flew to the newly constructed, but as yet unopened, Bulago airstrip, in the Hela Province of Papua New Guinea to assess the progress of the new strip. After six orbits and two mock approaches assessing the strip and establishing an approach profile, the pilot decided that the strip was suitable for a landing. At 0203 UTC the aircraft touched down on the strip. During the landing roll the main and nose wheels sank through the limestone and gravel surface of the strip into the clay beneath and the nose wheel and nose-wheel fork were torn from the oleo. The propeller was substantially damaged as the nose-gear oleo dug into the surface.
