Jodel DR1050-M1 Sicile Record, G-CIYB was written off (damaged beyond repair) due to loss of control after striking hedge during approach to land at a private airstrip at Gilford, County Down on 8 June 2018. The official AAIB report into the accident was published on 8 November 2018, and the following is an excerpt from it:
"The pilot approached Runway 36 at his private airstrip, having estimated the wind strength as 5 knots, from a variable direction. No turbulence was apparent during the approach but, as the aircraft neared the boundary hedge, it suddenly encountered sinking air and the pilot was unable to prevent the left main landing gear from striking the hedge. He lost control and the aircraft struck the ground and travelled along the runway for a few metres.
When the aircraft came to rest it had rotated left through approximately 180 degrees, the landing gear had collapsed, the left wing had detached and the right wing and forward fuselage were extensively damaged. The occupants used the normal access doors to vacate the aircraft without assistance."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report G-CIYB was "Damaged beyond economic repair",
Safety action consequent to this accident: The pilot intends to remove the hedge along the airstrip’s southern boundary and will only operate a similar aircraft from here if he succeeds in lengthening the runway. (Both registered owners have Gilford, Craigavon addresses)
