Narrative:
The plane made a runway excursion due to a strong wind and was stuck in the muddy grass. Both occupants, instructor and student were not injured.

The landing gear was broken.

BEA summary:
The student performs laps in double command. After an hour of flight, he appears in the final 25G with a notch of flap. When touching the wheels, the plane bounces and shifts to the right under the effect of the wind (160 ° for 20 to 30kt). The instructor takes control and goes around, but the plane lands in the grass and rolls for a hundred meters.
