Pegasus Quik GT450, G-DTAR was substantially damaged in a Heavy landing and go-around due to wake turbulence at Perth/Scone Airfield, Perth, Scotland 15 September 2018. The official AAIB report was published on 14 March 2019, and the following in an extract from it...
"The instructor was conducting training, flying circuits using Runway 27 at Perth Airport. During a downwind leg, a helicopter departed the airport from a pad south of the runway. The wind was estimated to be from 240 degrees at less than 5 knots. The instructor discussed the wake turbulence risk but assessed that it would have dissipated before they reached the runway. When they encountered turbulence a few feet above the runway, the instructor applied full power, but the aircraft made heavy contact with the runway before continuing the go-around. In the circuit, he released the throttle which had become stuck at cruise power, before carrying out a successful glide landing."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the above AAIB report "Damage to landing gear and minor distortion of underside".
