I'm captain on this type since 8 years and I experienced over 3500 hours on UE and and UC. in 2002 we shooted a rabbit during take off course at approximatively 90 knots. A blade of the propeller as broken. the Raytheon pilot's check list say that during collision with ground, greater is the risk that propeller or portion of propeller separating from hub causing damage to the fuselage and physical harm to passengers. So if it is possible, a good idéa is to let the seat concerned empty during this type of landing. In case of 19 passengers no chance!!!!
have good flights
