On Feb 12th 2024 Germany's BFU reported, that they have rated the occurrence an accident and have opened an investigation into the occurrence.
On Jun 3rd 2024 the BFU reported the aircraft was performing an ILS approach to runway 26L, the approach was stable. In the flare in cross wind, while aligning the aircraft with the runway, the aircraft touched down and became airborne again, banked to the right and touched down a second time. Both pilots called "Go Around", the captain took control of the aircraft, performed the go around and subsequent landing. During the rejected/balked landing the tail of the aircraft contacted the runway surface causing damage to both structure of the aircraft as well as to the runway surface (scratched open over a length of several meters).
