Incident Overview
A certified flight instructor (CFI) was supervising a student pilot during a landing approach when a sudden change in wind conditions led to a runway excursion. According to the CFI's report, the wind was initially from 090 degrees at 10 to 15 knots, with gusts ranging from 20 to 25 knots. The student initiated an approach to runway 11.
Sequence of Events
During the landing flare, the wind direction and speed shifted, becoming a right quartering tailwind. The CFI immediately took control of the aircraft and initiated a go-around. However, the aircraft failed to gain lift and veered off the runway. As a result, the nose gear broke off, and the aircraft came to rest on the main landing gear.
Mechanical Condition
The pilot reported that there was no mechanical malfunction with the aircraft prior to the accident. The event was attributed solely to the changing wind conditions and the subsequent handling during the go-around attempt.
Conclusion
The aircraft sustained damage to its nose gear but came to rest upright on the main landing gear. No further details regarding injuries or aircraft type were provided in the report.
