Description
A Dornier 328-110, operating a charter flight between Ingolstadt Airport and Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport, Germany, sustained substantial damage in a landing accident. After an uneventful flight the crew began an ILS approach to runway 26 of the Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport. The first officer was the pilot flying (PF). The autopilot was switched off while the aircraft descended through an altitude of 500 feet. The airplane landed hard with a recorded vertical acceleration of +2.3 g. When taxiing to the platform, the crew noted that the airplane had an inclination to the left. After parking it appeared that the left hand main gear was damaged. Additionally , there was a 1,5 m scrape mark on the underside of the rear fuselage.
Primary Cause
Unstable landing conditions during an ILS approach, likely due to a combination of factors including a loss of control and a sudden change in airspeed.Unstable landing conditions during an ILS approach, likely due to a combination of factors including a loss of control and a sudden change in airspeed.Share on:
