What happened
During the landing phase of the flight at Tainan Airport, the aircraft's undercarriage failed. This structural collapse caused the plane to lose support from its wheels, forcing the airframe to make contact with the runway surface. As a result of the gear failure, the airplane slid along its belly until it eventually reached a complete stop.
Despite the impact of the fuselage against the ground, there were no casualties reported following the incident. The aircraft remained intact enough that no injuries or fatalities occurred during the sequence of events.
Findings
- The primary event was the collapse of the undercarriage immediately upon touchdown.
