Cessna 152, G-BNRK

Summary:

The aircraft was returning from a navigation exercise, which was part of the training syllabus for the student pilot’s Private Pilot’s Licence. The approach to land at Blackbushe Airport was flown at a higher than normal approach speed and the aircraft bounced heavily twice, before finally touching down. At some point during the landing the nose wheel tyre detached from the wheel rim and several pieces of the wheel were shed onto the runway.
