"After flying for 75 minutes in turbulent conditions, described by the pilot as 'a heavy workload in a flex-wing', the pilot flew a normal approach and positioned the aircraft to land. However, after the initial flare, he reported encountering “unexpected significant sink” and, despite taking corrective action, the aircraft landed heavily and sustained substantial damage, including a fractured keel tube".
