The pilot had hired the aircraft with the intention of conducting circuit practice at Fairoaks Airport. He reported that the weather was CAVOK and the wind was calm. Following the first circuit, the pilot flew an approach to Runway 24 intending to carry out a touch‑and‑go.
After the landing flare, he stated that the main wheels touched down as normal, but the aircraft bounced and briefly became airborne again. A second, more severe bounce followed, during which he reported that the aircraft was lifted by a gust of wind, causing it to come down on the left side of the runway. The aircraft landed heavily on its nose gear, causing it to partially collapse. It then slid towards the runway edge and became inverted when the nosewheel entered soft ground at the side of the runway. The pilot sustained only minor injuries and exited the aircraft with the assistance of the airport fire and rescue service.
