What happened
During an arrival at Friedrichshafen-Bodensee Airport, an aircraft experienced a significant impact upon touchdown. The force of the landing was severe enough to cause extensive structural damage to the airframe. Following the incident, the aircraft was assessed and determined to be damaged beyond repair.
Despite the intensity of the impact, there were no injuries reported among the occupants on board. The event concluded with the aircraft being removed from service due to the extent of the mechanical and structural failures sustained during the landing phase.
Findings
- The primary cause of the damage was a very hard landing.
- The impact resulted in the total loss of the aircraft's operational capability.
