Investigation: AO-2012-137 - Hard Landing - VH-NQE, Fokker F-28 Mk 100, Nifty Aerodrome, Western Australia - 19 October 2012
Could it be this one?
Why wait twelve months? The flight sim brigade will have their final report finished within a week, just after the execution of the pilot.

The big Q will rebuild it at any cost won't they? Can't have a hull loss...
Reality is, Network have more F100s on order than they need. So even if this one is reduced to spares, they will just introduce another ex Avianca machine quicker than originally planned.
Fokkers are a tough bird though. If it's just suffering from a little wrinkled skin it'll be fine.

Stepson just drew my attention to this paragraph on Ben's blog.
It seems very fair minded.

Remote and basic airstrips are more at risk from undetected windshear conditions than major airports and the actions of the pilots may well have been critical to avoiding an even more serious outcome in this accident.
