Incident Description
On approach to Alghero Airport, the aircraft encountered high winds. During the landing on runway 03, unfavorable winds caused the aircraft to float before touching down 750 meters past the runway threshold. The aircraft then landed hard, with the nose gear contacting the runway first.
Sequence of Events
Following the initial hard touchdown, the aircraft bounced. It then landed firmly 1,300 meters further down the runway, to the right of the centerline. The impact caused the loss of the undercarriage. The aircraft continued for another 400 meters before coming to rest.
Outcome
All 25 occupants evacuated without injury. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair. At the time of the accident, crosswinds were gusting up to 42 knots.
