On March 18, 2015, about 1900 eastern daylight time, a Lanshe Aerospace Lake 250, N99HB, operated by a private individual, was substantially damaged while landing at Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport (FHB), Fernandina Beach, Florida. The private pilot was seriously injured. The personal flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the flight that originated from Georgetown County Airport (GGE), Georgetown, South Carolina, about 1700.
Several witnesses at FHB reported that the airplane performed a go-around during its first approach, which was to runway 4. During the second attempt, the airplane approached runway 13, a 5,152-foot-long asphalt runway. The airplane touched down more than halfway down runway 13 and bounced several times, before coming to rest near the end of the runway.
The pilot reported to a responding law enforcement officer that the airplane encountered windshear.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the landing gear handle was in the "UP" position and the landing gear was retracted. The inspector also noted substantial damage to the lower fuselage.
