Airlinair flight 7059, an ATR 42-500, made a hard landing at Lyon Bron Airport, France.
On the final turn of a night visual approach to runway 34 at Lyon Bron Airport, the crew momentarily lost sight of the runway. The aircraft was on short final at high speed, well above the glide slope. During the flare, while the aircraft was still in the air, the engines were brought to ground idle. The aircraft landed hard and then taxied to the apron.
The main landing gear shock absorbers were broken.
Causes of the accident
The accident was caused by :
- an unstabilised approach that continued until landing ;
- inadvertent use of the IDLE GATE pull tab.
The following factors contributed to the accident
- the improvisation of a manoeuvre different from what had been envisaged in the arrival briefing ;
- the difficulties involved in carrying out night visual approaches.
