Description
On the approach to landing at the Tbilisi Airport (TBS) the crew flew past the inner marker at an altitude of 204 ft. The landing was carried out at a speed of 224 km/h (the prescribed landing speed was 170-180 km/h) at a G-force of 1.81-1.97, and the aircraft bounced up from the runway four times with G-forces ranging from 1.81 to 4.82. As a result, the nose landing gear broke and folded under the fuselage. The aircraft continued moving along the runway with the nose inclined toward the runway.
