The aircraft from Bonaventure was on approach to runway 24 at Mont-Joli. The co-pilot had quickly cut power to both engines, ignoring the decreasing approach speed and gusty winds. There was light to moderate turbulence throughout the approach. The captain tried to add power before touchdown but was unable to avoid a hard landing. Following an external check by the captain, the return flight took place. The event was reported to the maintenance department and damage was found to the interior structure of the left nacelle.
