What happened
During the descent phase of the operation, the flight crew initiated a visual approach to runway 23L under conditions characterized by calm winds. As the aircraft progressed along the final approach segment, the crew monitored their position relative to the standard glidepath.
When the aircraft reached an altitude of approximately 100 feet above ground level, it remained aligned with the proper glideslope for landing. Despite maintaining the correct vertical profile, the subsequent contact with the runway surface was harder than normal. The impact resulted in minor damage to the airframe, but no injuries were reported among those on board.
Findings
The primary factor contributing to the incident was the nature of the ground contact during the landing phase. Although the aircraft was correctly positioned on the glidepath at low altitude, the touchdown force exceeded standard parameters, leading to structural stress that caused minor damage.
