- Cause: Not determined. Poor visibility on approach and a hard landing with a bounce are the documented circumstances.
A Dassault Falcon 10 operated by Top Air of Turkey made three approaches to Paris-Le Bourget in poor weather. The first two were abandoned because the crew could not align with or see the runway, and the third landing was hard, with the aircraft bouncing and touching down a second time. The crew taxied to the parking position, and inspection showed serious structural damage that led to the aircraft being written off. No one was hurt.
