Aircraft Type: Fokker F-27 Friendship 600
Owner/operator: Trans Australia Airlines – TAA
Registration Number: VH-TQQ
Location: RAAF Amberley, QLD –
ÿ Australia
Phase of Flight: Landing
Status: Destroyed, written off
Casualties: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 3
Component Affected: No. 1 engineNo. 1 engine
Category: Accident
During a training flight, a no. 1 engine failure simulated on approach resulted in a hard landing on the left main gear. A tire burst caused the aircraft to swerve off the runway, and the left main gear and no. 1 prop struck an arrester gear housing, leading to the separation of both parts. The incident was likely caused by a reduced power on the no. 1 engine at a lower-than-approved altitude, resulting in loss of directional control when the trainee applied full power to the no. 2 engine.During a training flight, a no. 1 engine failure simulated on approach resulted in a hard landing on the left main gear.

Description
During a training flight a no. 1 engine failure was simulated on approach. The F-27 landed heavily on the left main gear. A tire burst, and the aircraft swerved off the side of the runway. The left main gear and no. 1 prop struck an arrester gear housing, causing the separation of both parts. PROBABLE CAUSE: Power reduced on the no. 1 engine at a lower than approved altitude. Directional control was lost when the trainee applied full power on the no. 2 engine.
