Overview
A multi-engine airplane lost control during a daytime visual approach after a hard landing and an attempted abort. The incident occurred when the aircraft touched down 1,000 feet past the approach end threshold, resulting in a porpoising motion.
Landing Sequence
The airplane's initial touchdown was hard and well beyond the normal landing zone. This hard landing caused a porpoising effect, where the aircraft repeatedly pitched up and down on its main landing gear, destabilizing the rollout.
Abort Attempt
In response to the unstable landing, the pilot attempted to abort the landing and go around. However, during the abort, the airplane failed to achieve the necessary flying speed. As a result, it struck the ground again with sufficient force to separate the left main landing gear from the airframe.
Aftermath
Following the separation of the left main landing gear, the aircraft lost directional control. The right main landing gear and the nose landing gear subsequently collapsed.
