“The loss of thrust has prevented the aircrew from performing a successful go around and has led the aircraft to an unstabilised runway contact.

“The following factors have contributed to the event: the inadequate effectiveness of bird control and dispersal measures put in place by the airport operator at the time of the accident;

“The captain decision to perform a go around, when the aircraft was at approximately 7 seconds from touchdown.”

“On first contact with the runway, which occurred with the main landing gear properly extended and with the lower part of the fuselage tail section, the main left landing gear detached from its anchoring during the landing run and the lower part of the left engine nacelle came into contact with the runway.”
