A China Eastern Airbus A319-100, registration B-6430 performing flight MU-5443 from Chengdu to Kangding (China),
was on final approach to Kangding's runway 15
when the aircraft struck approach lights causing parts of the approach lights to penetrate the aircraft's right hand horizontal stabilizer
resulting in an additional hydraulic leak from the green hydraulic system.

The aircraft went around and returned to Chengdu for a landing on runway 02R without further incident.

A post accident runway inspection found 6 approach lights damaged at Kangding.

The aircraft received substantial damage to the right hand stabilizer, green hydraulic system and tyres.
