A Boeing 777-300ER made a hard landing at Toronto Airport.
Air Canada flight #AC2 from Tokyo-Haneda encountered dangerous wind shear when landing on runway 24L.
The incident happened on November 13, 2023 at Toronto Airport, Canada.
The wind shear caused a sudden increase of the rate of descent until the right main gear of the Boeing touched down.
The aircraft (reg. C-FIUV) then bounced and leaned to the left before pilots were able to stabilize it.
Control was regained and the landing was safely completed.
The incident was caught live on well named Wake Turbulence Aviation YouTube channel.
Wind shear is a change in wind speed and/or direction over a short distance. It can occur either horizontally or vertically and is most often associated with strong temperature inversions or density gradients.
