Narrative:
AAIB investigation to Evektor-Aerotechnik EV-97 Eurostar, G-CGGM: Damaged in a 'Bounced' landing, Wycombe Air Park, Booker, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, 8 April 2017. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report

"The pilot reported that he had been flying in the local area and, on return to Wycombe, landed on the grass Runway 24. He normally used the parallel hard runway but it was closed as a result of an incident. The visibility was good and the wind was light.

The pilot considered that he landed too fast and consequently the aircraft bounced a couple of times, damaging the nose leg. Although the steering seemed not to be functioning correctly and there was excessive vibration, he was able to taxi to his normal parking spot on the north side of the airfield. Examination revealed extensive damage to the nose leg and surrounding structural components".

=Damage sustained to airframe=
Per the AAIB Report "Floor pan, firewall, nose leg, steering rods and engine frame" were damaged. The aircraft was repaired and returned to service, and had accumulated a total of 2,267 flying hours on the airframe as at 18 July 2023
