Aviation officials are investigating the circumstances under which an aircraft damaged its
landing gear during a rough landing yesterday in the hinterlands.
According to the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), the Trans-Guyana Britten Norman Islander aircraft “hard-landed” during its approach at Kurupung airstrip, Region Seven.
The incident occurred around 12:27hrs.
“No injuries were reported. In aviation, a hard landing is an especially rapid or steep descent. Five persons, including the pilot, were on board the aircraft, which had departed from Ogle International Airport,” GCAA said in a statement.
Zulficar Mohamed, Director-General of GCAA stated that the aircraft landed on the “threshold” of the airstrip and sustained damage to the left landing gear.
Officials of GCAA and Trans-Guyana were said to be on their way in to the area to conduct an investigation into the incident.
