On October 26, 2023, a serious aviation incident occurred involving a Jet2 flight 389 from Leeds/Bradford (LBA) to Funchal (FNC), Madeira. The flight was operated by Pilot Flying (PF). The flight began without significant complications, with an uneventful en route phase and a descent towards Funchal. At Funchal, visibility was good, with a strong surface wind of 330ø at 14 kts gusting to 24 kts. Temperature was 15øC. The Commander reported that the visual approach to runway 05 was initially normal, but deteriorated significantly after the first contact with the runway. The aircraft then experienced a rapid loss of lift due to a ‘wind shear’ effect, leading to a high sink rate. The PF initiated a controlled descent but the aircraft subsequently landed heavily, bouncing to a height of approximately 8 feet and continuing for about 300 meters. During the second contact with the runway, the tail struck the surface at a speed of approximately 140 kts. The PF successfully controlled the aircraft within the runway confines. Following the landing, inspection revealed significant deformation of the fuselage outer surface and skid marks on the rear fuselage. Furthermore, a deformed drain tube, bent struts, and five cracks on two fuselage frames were identified, indicating structural damage from the vertical loads during the impact. The incident was attributed to excessive nose-up input after the initial contact with the runway, resulting in a sharp nose-up attitude and a loss of lift, leading to the tail strike. Contributing factors included an unexecuted landing checklist, an approach conducted under turbulence, deviation from a stabilized approach profile, and a decision not to execute a go-around after the bounce on the runway.On October 26, 2023, a serious aviation incident occurred involving a Jet2 flight 389 from Leeds/Bradford (LBA) to Funchal (FNC), Madeira.
