Blame the LAME, not the pilot's pre-flight.. etc. etc..

A low hour machine with a brand new paint job, couple new props and avionics. What a shame!

This aircraft was flown out to australia across the pacific from the US by David Squirrell and its owner at the time Keith Astrella. i sanded off the us registration for painting...i havent seen any pics is it a right off? ...shame it was a very nice aircraft

Am I reading that report right?!? 195M landing ground roll for a 310? Surely not...

I assume it would’ve been written off. The left wing was ripped off outboard of the left engine.

Photos in the ATSB link above!

The ATSB report makes reference that the aircraft will return to service, somehow doubt it looking at the photos.

Very lucky it didn’t catch on fire when the wing was torn off.

Don’t think the dicky brake was the root cause, more like the un-stabilised approach.

Is Vref +20 normal for the approach speed for a 310? Seems a bit hot, would have thought +10 would be the limit.

Needed a new wing & a bunch of other stuff, including better brakes, but the Darwin Refueller can say with authority that the aircraft is almost ready to return to service.

Any blame can be shared. Landing that far beyond the threshold, and faster, instead of a go round, followed by dodgy brakes and the end result is there for all to see. Holes, Swiss, cheese and all that.

Aircraft owned by well known Darwin based LAME by any chance?

Look up the details on Aust Air Data. The name of the owner is listed.

​​​​​​​I wonder what they would consider "major" damage to a wing?

One that separated inboard of the engine nacelle? :8

It's not major until the front falls off, and after all it was still inside the airport environment!:}
