A BN-2 Islander, D-ILFC, experienced a hard landing at Wangerooge Airport (AGE) in Germany. The captain and five passengers were unharmed. The aircraft departed Hare at 08:03 on a five-minute flight to Wangerooge. The captain initiated an approach to runway 10 but aborted it. He circled for another approach. The pilot testified he was blinded by the sun and decided to go around again, giving full power. The airplane touched down hard, with the left main gear striking the ground next to the runway. A subsequent inspection revealed a bent left main gear leg and a punctured wing. The pilot diverted to Jever Air Base for an emergency landing, and the left hand flaps were also damaged.A BN-2 Islander, D-ILFC, experienced a hard landing at Wangerooge Airport (AGE) in Germany.
