During an attempted landing on a grass runway at a private site at Cloongoonagh, Co. Mayo, the pilot of the Aeroprakt A-22L2 aircraft elected to conduct a go-around manoeuvre due to a reported sudden drop in height. The engine power was increased, and the aircraft veered to the left. It impacted with a hedgerow located to the left of the runway, before coming to rest in an adjacent field. The Pilot, who was the sole occupant, exited the aircraft normally. No injuries were reported. There was no fire.
