Piper PA-28-181 Cherokee Archer II G-JJAN substantially damaged at Solent Airport (EGHF), Lee on Solent, Hampshire on 20/5/2018. Accident believed to have been caused by a heavy landing in crosswind which resulted in a large bounce which collapsed nose wheel. Sole runway (05/23) closed for over 5 hours.
UPDATE:
The official AAIB report into the accident was published on 11/10/2018, and the following is an extract from it...
'After an approach to Runway 23R in fine weather, the aircraft touched down just after the numbers but bounced and became airborne again. The pilot allowed the aircraft to descend back onto the runway and, at touchdown, he reported hearing a “grinding/scraping noise” as the nosewheel was damaged. The aircraft bounced a second time before touching down and coming to a halt in a nose-low attitude.
The pilot and passengers were wearing lap and diagonal harnesses and were uninjured. The pilot considered his approach was too fast and, with the heavy landing considered, that a go-around could have prevented the accident.'
