Bounced Landing at East Midlands | Leicester News

A cargo plane from Guernsey suffered a violent, two-bounce landing at East Midlands Airport on November 14, 2025, causing severe nose gear damage and requiring replacement wheels. Investigators blame a sudden airflow drop—likely turbulence—that overwhelmed the pilot’s ability to react within nine seconds. Though both pilots escaped injury, the aircraft’s fuel and freight took a beating. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch concluded the pilot’s decision-making was impaired by the shock of the unexpected event, even though conditions were technically safe. It’s a sobering case of how fast aviation can spiral—even for seasoned crews.
