Aircraft Incident at Mulia Airport (PK-WAX)

Incident Overview and Outcome During the final segment of its approach to Mulia Airport, a single-pilot aircraft was affected by downdrafts that caused it to lose altitude. This resulted in the nose gear making initial contact with the ground. Following the nose-first landing, the aircraft went out of control, experienced a ground loop, and ultimately came to rest in a ditch. The sole occupant, the pilot, escaped the incident without injury. The aircraft sustained damage that was assessed as beyond repair. No specific aircraft type, registration, operator, or date was provided in the source material.
