Narrative:
Mainair Blade 582 G-CCZW: Substantially damaged 8 May 2022 when bounced on landing at Headon Airfield, Headon, Bassetlaw District, Nottinghamshire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only Investigation Report published 9 February 2023, and the following is the summary from ther AAIB Report:

"A student pilot was attempting to land at Headon Airfield following a short solo flight. The pilot reported that she rejected the first landing, as she considered she was too high during the approach. On the second attempt to land, as the microlight touched down, it was caught by gusting wind, resulting in a heavy landing and loss of directional control. The aircraft then bounced and departed the runway at 90°, coming to rest in a hedgerow."
