Incident Overview
During a training flight, the first officer was conducting his second Initial Operating Experience (IOE) session after being hired by the airline. The captain, acting as the check airman, reported that the first officer was executing a visual approach to runway 26. Upon initial touchdown, the aircraft 'skipped' and became airborne again. The captain observed that at the moment of initial touchdown, the throttles were not in the fully retarded position.
Immediate Actions
The captain then closed the throttles and instructed the first officer to maintain the aircraft's attitude as the second touchdown approached. The auto spoilers subsequently deployed, and the aircraft settled onto the runway in a nose-high attitude. The captain characterized the second touchdown as 'firm' but within acceptable limits.
Post-Flight Inspection
After landing rollout, the aircraft was taxied to the gate, and all 140 passengers disembarked without incident. A subsequent inspection by ground personnel revealed a scrape measuring 1 foot by 4 feet on the belly of the airplane, located between fuselage stations 887 and 941.
Operational Context
No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, engine count, date, operator, location, or time of day were provided in the source. The report did not specify any injuries or damage beyond the described belly scrape.
