Cessna 152 G-GFIG substantially damaged in a landing accident at Denham Airfield, Denham, near Uxbridge, Buckinghamshire on 17 July 2021. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only investigation, published on 14 October 2021 and the following is the summary from that...
"17 Jul 2021
Cessna 152
G-GFIG
Denham Aerodrome, Buckinghamshire
Following three circuits with an instructor, the pilot took off for his second solo flight. He decided to land after the second solo circuit because he was aware of a faint engine related smell. On touchdown the aircraft bounced so he applied some power to go around but then realised that he hadn’t applied full power and so elected to continue the landing and bring the aircraft to a stop. As the brakes were applied, the aircraft pitched down such that a propeller blade struck, and became stuck, in the ground".
G-GFIG was built in 1978, and was previosuly G-BNOZ (UK Registered as such from 22.6.87 to 14.10.2010) and Irish registered as EI-CCP before that.
