What happened
During a routine local training mission at Braasschaat AFB, a twin-engine aircraft experienced a significant landing incident. As the crew attempted to land, the aircraft struck the runway with excessive force. This initial impact caused the plane to bounce repeatedly across the runway surface before the motion finally ceased.
Following the sequence of bounces, the aircraft came to a complete stop on the airfield. While the impact was severe enough to result in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, the occupants were able to exit the wreckage safely. The incident resulted in two minor injuries among the crew members.
Findings
The specific reasons for the heavy impact and subsequent bouncing remain undetermined, as the cause of the hard landing was not identified during the initial report.
