The aircraft landed on Runway (RWY) 10 in EIDW in conditions of poor visibility. On roll-out, it passed a ride-on grass mower which was travelling eastwards along the runway approximately 18.5 metres (m) to the right of the centre-line. The driver of the mower was unaware that an aircraft was arriving until he heard it on the runway behind him. Prior to the incident, ATC was informed that all grass-cutting equipment had vacated the field. The Report of the Investigation makes one Safety Recommendation. |

The aircraft was engaged on a training exercise with an experienced instructor and a student who was flying a twin-engined aircraft for the first time. A second student was seated in the rear of the aircraft. At the conclusion of the flight the aircraft landed at EIWT but, very shortly after touchdown, the nosewheel retracted fully and the main landing gear commenced retraction. The aircraft slid for some 250 metres on its nose and main gear along the runway. The propellers on both engines were damaged by strikes on the runway surface. There were no injuries.

The aircraft, carrying the Pilot and two passengers, departed EIMH with the intention of flying to Cheltenham (UK). After take-off the aircraft failed to climb and accelerate as the Pilot expected and the port stabiliser struck a hedge that forms the airfield boundary. The Pilot elected to make a forced landing in the adjacent stubble field. During the forced landing the aircraft suffered substantial damage, the nose wheel sheared off and the starboard undercarriage leg collapsed before the aircraft eventually came to rest 165 metres (m) into the field. There were no injuries and the Pilot and passengers exited the aircraft without third party assistance. There was no post-impact fire. |

During take-off, the Tail Skid Assembly shoe on the underside of the aft fuselage came in contact with the runway surface. The aircraft continued on its departure, and levelled off at Flight Level (FL)120, where the Flight Crew then completed the Tailstrike on Takeoff checklist. While completing this checklist the aircraft was depressurised. After communication with the Cabin Crew, the passenger oxygen masks were deployed manually. The Flight Crew declared an Emergency and returned to Dublin Airport where the flight landed without further incident. |

During the EI-RJF pushback from Stand C4 in preparation for departure to London City Airport (LCY), while the tug operator carried out a minor realignment of the aircraft on the taxi-line, the tug was turned through 180 degrees, shearing the end off the tow bar at the tug end. With the engines running at idle power, the aircraft continued to move forward under its own inertia, colliding with the tug and came to rest with the tug wedged against the right hand side of the fuselage below the cockpit. This impact caused serious structural damage to the aircraft. There were no injuries.
