Narrative:
T'Way Air flight TW282, a Boeing 737-800, bounced while landing on runway 34 at Incheon International Airport, and the rear fuselage came into contact with the runway ground during the second touchdown.
The flight crew performed a go around and landed on the second attempt.

Cause
The Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Commission determines the cause of the incident involving HL8253, during landing at Incheon Airport, where the rear fuselage contacted the runway surface, resulting in minor damage, as follows:
"① HL8253 made late and insufficient changes to its landing attitude, resulting in a hard landing with unreduced engine thrust and bouncing.
② It failed to perform a go-around when the altitude increased.
③ During the descent, the use of engine power was delayed, and by increasing the pitch angle to reduce the descent rate, the pitch angle limit for landing of the B737-800 aircraft was exceeded, causing the rear fuselage to contact the ground."
As contributing factors, it is determined as follows: "
① Failure to apply appropriate landing training methods for student pilots at the level of the instructor pilot and inadequate measures for bouncing.
② Composition of the flight crew consisting of low-experience instructor pilots and low-experience student pilots."
