- Date: July 28, 2010
- Aircraft: ATR72-200
- Location: Manila-Ninoy Aquino, Metro Manila, Philippines
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The flight crew failed to discontinue the approach when deteriorating weather moved into the airport, and the captain continued the approach and landing attempts after the bounces had damaged the aircraft.
A Cebu Pacific ATR 72-500 on flight 5J509 from Tuguegarao continued an approach to Manila as weather deteriorated. A sudden tailwind and a sharp loss of visibility produced several bounced landings before a go-around, after which the transponders and landing gear indications were affected. The crew requested a priority landing and landed on runway 13 with no injuries reported. The nosewheel had detached and the gear could not be retracted.
