Incident Summary
A pilot reported that during a simulated engine-out landing to runway 21, the aircraft's left wing struck bushes short of the runway, resulting in damage to the landing gear. The pilot stated he initially lined up to the right of the runway centerline. While attempting to correct his alignment, the left wing caught the top of some bushes located short of the runway threshold. The impact sequence damaged the nose landing gear and caused the right main landing gear to separate. The airplane subsequently bounced onto the runway surface.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot, he was performing a simulated engine-out approach to runway 21. He described that his approach was offset to the right of the runway center. When he attempted to correct this offset, the left wing contacted the top of some bushes that were short of the runway. The pilot did not report any mechanical issues prior to the impact.
Damage Assessment
During the impact sequence, the nose gear sustained damage. Additionally, the right main landing gear separated from the aircraft. After the initial contact, the airplane bounced onto the runway. The specific extent of damage to other parts of the aircraft was not detailed in the pilot's report.
