An ATR 42-600 of Japan Air Commuter, operating flight JAC/JC3763 from Kagoshima to Tanegashima, suffered turbulence while descending to Tanegashima at altitude of 10500 feet. A cabin crew sustained fracture of the right ankle joint. The flight returned to Kagoshima with priority on ATC.
PROBABLE CAUSES
The JTSB concludes that the probable cause of this accident was that the Aircraft was suddenly shaken, therefore, the cabin attendant who was walking along the aisle fell off balance and injured.
It is probable that regarding the Aircraft was suddenly shaken was because the Aircraft attitude changed due to the nose-up pitch control by the flight crew members to avoid exceeding the VMO and the nose-up effects resulting from an increase in the Aircraft speed, following the encounter of localized changes in the wind direction and velocity.
