On 23 March 2019, a Luscombe Aircraft Corp 8A departed Bunbury, Western Australia, to conduct a training flight with an instructor and a student on board. During approach to land back at Bunbury, the aircraft encountered unexpected turbulence and wind shear and as a result, the aircraft landed heavily. The crew exited the aircraft without injury and conducted an inspection to check for any damage. The post-flight inspection did not reveal any damage and the aircraft subsequently conducted two more flights.
On 25 March 2019, the aircraft was sent to a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (LAME) to conduct a more detailed and thorough inspection. The engineering inspection revealed that the aircraft had sustained substantial damage with some slight creasing at the attach point of one of the undercarriage legs, some dimpling on top of a wing and skin dimpling behind the rear door post. The LAME found the aircraft to be unserviceable and it was consequently grounded.
