A Britten-Norman BN-2A-9 Islander, registration N821RR, experienced a significant accident during its first landing at Culebra Airport (CPX), Puerto Rico. The pilot, recently retired from large category transport airplanes, was hired by Air Flamenco and received ground school training on the aircraft’s operations, routes, and destinations. The accident occurred during the first landing of its first flight, and it was the pilot?s first landing at the accident airport. The pilot entered a left downwind approach, with winds of 090ø at 15 to 16 knots, and the approach was approximately 80 knots and 100 ft above the normal flight path. After touchdown, the aircraft leaned to the right and veered off the right side of the runway. The right-hand wing was partially severed at the wing root, and the airplane came to a stop in the grass on the left side of the runway. The right-hand wing displayed tip curling and impact damage, and the orange-painted wingtip displayed longitudinal scraping and asphalt transfer. The flight crew’s failure to arrest the descent rate during the non-standard approach resulted in a hard landing and failure of the right-wing structure. The flight instructor?s selection of a challenging approach contributed to the incident.A Britten-Norman BN-2A-9 Islander, registration N821RR, experienced a significant accident during its first landing at Culebra Airport (CPX), Puerto Rico.
