Cessna 140 G-AHLJ nosed over on 5/3/2018 after landing at Conington Airfield, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (EGSF) causing substantial damage. According to the official AAIB report (published 9/8/2018):
"AAIB investigation to Cessna 140, G-HALJ
Loss of control on landing, Peterborough Conington Airfield, Cambridgeshire, 5 March 2018.
The flight was the second training sortie of the day with the same student and consisted of three landings and two 'go-arounds' after bounced landings. After touching down on the planned final landing, the student started to lose directional control. The instructor took control but did not have sufficient time to communicate this. Reacting to the situation, the student applied the brakes, tipping the aircraft onto its nose.
The occupants were uninjured but the aircraft was damaged. The instructor stated that he should have taken control sooner but there was not much time to react."
Nature of Damage to airframe: "Damage to propeller, cowling, wingtip and engine shock-loaded"
