Whether or not a report has been filed in this case depends on the altitude at which the GA was initiated.

Making a wild assumption that the approach had something to do with energy rather than a blocked runway. If recognised early and a decision was taken to reposition, no report would have been required. If the approach had been continued below 1000' it would.

The report would no doubt have been even bigger if it had involved: Unstable approach, decided to continue despite 15 kt tail wind and Vref + 20, touched down 3000' down, went off the end. Seems to me that the GA was the better option.
