PH-FUT - Velocity 173 RG made a bellylanding in the grass next to the runway due to problems with the nosewheel. It had made at least two low passes to get a visual check of gear status by the tower. Occupants are safe and damage is believed to be minor.
(Sorry for bad quality of the photo)

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Strictly speaking, it's not even a belly landing as its main gear is down. So, probably no damage to prop and engine, just the initial nose gear problem and a few dents and scratches as a result of that. Could have been worse..
