AAIB investigation to Comco Ikarus C42 FB100 C, G-CLYP: Hard landing resulting in collapsed nose leg and propeller damage, Perranporth Airfield, Cornwall, 23 June 2021. The AAIB final report was published on 14 October 2021, and the following is an excerpt from it...
"Following a flight from Little Snoring Airfield and a 55 minute stop at Cotswold Airport to refuel his aircraft, the pilot took off for his home airfield at Perranporth at 1320 hrs. It was a bright sunny day with an 8 kt northerly wind reported at his destination. The journey was uneventful, although the pilot commented that sunlight through the aircraft’s overhead transparency had made him uncomfortable throughout.
His approach to Runway 01 was stable at 60 kt with a good glidepath. As the aircraft flared the pilot realised he was too high, but he decided to continue with the landing. The aircraft touched down, it bounced and landed hard causing the nose leg to collapse before the aircraft came to a stop.
The pilot reported that he had suffered a severe headache that evening which he attributed to dehydration, or possibly mild heat stroke, which may have affected his judgement during the landing. He had not considered the effect of sunlight through the aircraft’s overhead transparency before his journey and had not taken a hat or rehydrated since leaving Little Snoring at 1020 hrs".
=Damage to Airframe=
Per the above AAIB report "Collapsed nose leg and damaged propeller". However, the aircraft seems to have been repaired, and it was seen at Cardiff Airport on 13.9.2021, quote: "Landing at 15:36 is Comco Ikarus C42 FB100 Charlie G-CLYP...parking on the GA apron...departed at 16:22" (see link #4)
