Flightglobal now reporting a more coherent account of what happened..

Investigators have revealed that a Kyrgyz-operated Boeing 737-300 suffered landing-gear damage in a hard touchdown at Osh before executing a missed approach.

Despite the impact the aircraft became airborne and started diverting to Bishkek but returned to Osh when it began suffering other system failures.

The damage sustained by the undercarriage during the first landing attempt meant the landing-gear subsequently collapsed when the aircraft touched down at Osh for the second time.

Russian air transport regulator Rosaviatsia states that weather conditions at Osh, which has a Category I instrument landing system, were below minima with runway visibility down to just 50m.

Rosaviatsia says the aircraft experienced a rough touchdown and the crew aborted the landing, choosing to divert to Bishkek.

But during the diversion the crew encountered signs of system failure in the starboard CFM International CFM56 engine as well as hydraulic problems.

Rosaviatsia states that the pilots shut down the powerplant and opted to return to Osh for an emergency landing – in spite of the poor weather.

The aircraft suffered a landing-gear failure on touchdown which, says the authority, indicates that the undercarriage had been damaged during the first landing attempt.
