Rod of nose landing gear broken during landing, 30 April 2016

Upon completing multiple training flights, including a few landings, the flight crew returned to Groningen Airport Eelde. The pilot-in-command set up the landing for runway 23, and no specific issues were noted. Once the aeroplane had flared, the aeroplane’s nose continued to drop and touched the ground. The aeroplane then slid along the runway with its nose on the ground and came to a standstill 600 metres after the initial contact with the runway. The occupants left the aeroplane without injury.
The report can be found in the Quarterly Report Aviation for the second quarter of 2016.
