Incident Overview
A local training flight at Tyumen-Roshchino Airport ended with significant damage after a high-speed landing led to a tire burst, hydraulic line failure, and fire. The crew had completed four touch-and-go landings at relatively high speed before the final approach.
Sequence of Events
On the final approach, the airplane was configured with flaps down at 15–20°. The landing occurred at high speed. Upon touchdown, the right rear tire on the left main landing gear burst. Debris from the tire punctured a hydraulic line, causing the left main landing gear to partially retract. A fire subsequently erupted in the wheel well.
Damage and Evacuation
The airplane came to rest on the runway. All occupants were evacuated safely. However, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined that four landings at high speed were completed, causing some tires to be damaged. One of them burst upon touchdown, and debris punctured a hydraulic line, causing the left main gear to collapse partially.
