Description
During final approach to runway 24 at Koblenz-Winningen Airport, the lAS dropped below minimum. The aircraft touched the ground 10 m before the runway. The pilot took over control and initiated a go around. He was not able to establish directional control and the right wing touched the ground. The aircraft veered to the right of the runway, rolled to the left touching the ground with the left wing, turned and stopped in a field. A small fire on the right engine was extinguished by the crew. Delay in initiating a missed approach, failure to obtain/maintain flying speed, inadequate crew co-ordination and improper recovery from a bounced landing were contributory factors.
Primary Cause
Inadequate crew coordination, improper recovery from a bounced landing, and insufficient control during final approach resulted in the aircraft’s uncontrolled movement and subsequent landing.Inadequate crew coordination, improper recovery from a bounced landing, and insufficient control during final approach resulted in the aircraft’s uncontrolled movement and subsequent landing.Share on:
