Summary:

The aircraft landed outside the designated but unmarked runway area at an unlicensed aerodrome and came to rest on a grassy bank. The airfield layout appeared different to what the pilot expected from the chart he was using. The low circuit height, with no overhead joining procedure, reduced the opportunity for the pilot to orientate himself.

The investigation revealed anomalies in published circuit information which the airfield and relevant chart publishers intend to resolve. The report discusses advice for pilots preparing to operate at unlicensed aerodromes.
