Narrative:
Pelita flight IP324, an Airbus A320, was approaching runway 18 at Pekanbaru-Simpang Tiga Airport (PKU) when the aircraft experienced a sudden increase in sink rate. The Second in Command (SIC) who acted as Pilot Flying (PF) adjusted the flare to manage the descent rate.The PF momentarily called for a go-around, however the Pilot in Command who acted as the Pilot Monitoring (PM) took over control and elected to continue the landing.
Post-flight inspection revealed scratches and paint damage on the aft lower fuselage, specifically between Frame (FR) 69?70 at Stringer (STGR) 43L through 44, and FR 70?72 at STGR 33L through 34. In addition, the aft drain mast was found rubbed and bent.
