What happened
Upon completing its arrival at the Harrisburg Airport, an aircraft suffered a sudden failure of its undercarriage. As the plane touched down on the runway, the landing gear collapsed, causing the airframe to make direct contact with the ground and come to rest on its belly.
Despite the severity of the impact and the subsequent sliding of the fuselage, there were no casualties reported during the incident. Both occupants of the aircraft managed to evacuate the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. However, the structural integrity of the plane was compromised during the collapse.
Findings
The damage sustained by the aircraft type during the landing gear failure was extensive, leading to the vessel being declared a total loss as it was damaged beyond repair. At this time, there is no official determination regarding why the undercarriage failed during the landing phase.
