- Date: January 28, 2014
- Aircraft: Saab 2000
- Location: Paris-Roissy-CDG, Val-d'Oise, France
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: BEA: The captain pulled the nose up during the flare without informing the first officer, who was the pilot flying. This lack of crew coordination led to double controls and successive opposite control inputs while managing the bounced landing.
A Saab 2000 (HB IZG) operated by Darwin Airline for Etihad Regional on flight DWT250 from Leipzig bounced twice on landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle on 28 January 2014. On the third touchdown the nose gear hit first and collapsed, and the aircraft slid to a stop. All 3 crew and 16 passengers were evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The BEA found the captain raised the nose during the flare without telling the first officer, who was flying, causing conflicting control inputs during the bounce.
