Aircraft Belly Landing at Porto Alegre-Salgado Filho Airport (PP-VJP)

Incident Overview and Outcome During the final approach to Porto Alegre-Salgado Filho Airport, the flight crew did not recognize that the aircraft's altitude was insufficient. As a result, the right main landing gear struck an obstacle and was torn off. The aircraft then made contact with the ground and slid partially on its belly for approximately a dozen yards before coming to a complete stop. All 51 people on board escaped the incident without injury. However, the damage sustained by the aircraft was severe enough to render it beyond repair, resulting in a total loss of the airframe. The source does not provide specific details regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, or the exact date of the event.
