Unfallbericht:A DHC-8-402Q operated by Luxair was involved in an aborted takeoff accident at Saarbrücken-Ensheim Airport (SCN), Germany.
Luxair LG9562 was a scheduled passenger service from Hamburg Airport, Germany to Saarbrücken and Luxembourg.
Following an intermediate stop at Saarbrücken the aircraft was cleared for takeoff on runway 09.
During the rotation phase with approximately 127 KIAS and a nose-up attitude of approximately 5°, the landing gear retracted. The airplanes tail had the first ground contact and the tailstrike warning light illuminated. Approximately 875 m after the initial ground contact the airplane came to a stop after it had bounced three times and skidded on the fuselage.
It appeared the first officer retracted the gear too early. It was determined that the DHC-8 landing gear will retract if the nose landing gear is airborne but the main landing gears are still on the ground. This design logic was changed after this accident.
Probable Cause:
Conclusions:
The air accident was the result of an early retraction of the retractable landing gearduring take-off, which was not prevented by the landing gear selector lever and the retracting control logic.
Contributory factors:
- Reduced concentration level
- A break in the callout process / task sequence on the part of the PNF
- Actuation of the landing gear lever to the UP Position too early
- Control logic design allows retraction of the landing gear with one wheel airborne
