The accident occurred in the late morning of this Wednesday the 22nd; the passengers and crew disembarked safely
One Aereo Azul Linhas Aéreas hit the tail on the runway during landing at Recife International Airport on the morning of Wednesday 22nd. The accident occurred when the flight AD2737which destroyed the Aracaju-Recife route, has landed.
Images circulating on social media show the moment the rear of the lone plane hits the ground, causing sparks. Despite the fear, no one was injured. The accident also had no repercussions on the runway or on the airport’s take-off and landing operations.
This type of accident is known as ‘backlash’ (tail beating, in free translation from English). It can happen during takeoff or landing if the pilot keeps the nose of the plane at a steeper angle than expected.
