Jabiru UL-D, G-CDKP

Summary:

The student was conducting solo circuits on Runway 03 at Damyns Hall Aerodrome. Adjacent to the left side of the grass runway was a field of corn. The reported surface wind was from the north-west at less than 5 kt. It was reported that, whilst positioning the aircraft for landing, the student had allowed the aircraft to become low on the approach and, as the aircraft touched down, it bounced before touching down again. The aircraft then reportedly veered to the left, before coming to a stop in the adjacent field. The pilot was uninjured and exited the aircraft through the cabin door. The left wing and undercarriage were damaged.
