Safety history

April 18, 1993Accident
The approach to Hanamaki Airport was completed by the copilot. On short final, eight seconds prior to landing on runway 02, the aircraft was caught by downdrafts and windshear. Three seconds prior to touchdown, the captain regained control but this was too late. The aircraft landed hard, right main gear first.
Douglas DC-9
It was determined that the aircraft encountered windshear on short final with wind from 240° to 320° gusting 26 to 47 knots. The copilot who was at controls at this time was not sufficiently experienced according to the operator operational procedures. Poor supervision on part of the captain and a too late recovery were considered as contributing factors. Full accident record
