A Cessna 172 took-off from runway 23 at Malta-Luqa Airport but was instructed to land on runway 31 in a crosswind condition due to RWY 23 not available for landing at the time (Notam A1316-19). The aircraft landed right of the RWY centreline and following 60 m roll, the aircraft exited the RWY surface suffering an excursion onto the grass. In the process, the aircraft nosewheel hit a runway edge light (which is mounted on a concrete base) and suffered a punctured tyre and serious damage to the nosewheel hub.
The Bureau of Air Accidents Investigations (Malta) has determined that the cause of this accident was an improperly applied crosswind landing technique due to inexperience.
