Q 8749

After landing, while taxiing towards the apron the landing gear sinks into a hole. Nobody gets injured, but the aircraft sustains a structural failure. This obliges the crew to delay the departure.

This is an irregularity in the operation. The crew must inform the operator of the aerodrome and establish a report.

This is an accident and the crew must follow the procedure relevant to this case.

Since there is no person injured and the flight is terminated, a damage report has to be made out with the services of the aerodrome in charge of the runway and taxiways for the insurance company.

This is an incident and the pilot-in-command must report it to the airport authority within the next 48 hours.
