What: Airbus A340 en route for Dubai
Where: Melbourne airport
When: March 20
Who: 257 passengers and 18 crew
Why: Incorrect weight data on an in-flight computer caused the tail of an Emirates plane to scrape the runway during take-off. ( The Australia’s air safety regulator concluded that the weight was incorrectly entered on the onboard computer which resulted in thrust setting and take-off reference speeds lower than those required for the aircraft?s actual weight. (The weight entered was 112 tons too light.) The incident caused substantial damage to the plane’s tail. The tail ripped out at least one runway light, and dislodged a flight data recorder at the plane’s rear. Manual correction of thrust caused the rear fuselage to scrape the tarmac. The Emirates investigation is considering a flight computer double-entry system “to protect against single data source entry error.”
On March 11, 2013, an Air Canada Embraer ERJ-190 en route from Edmonton to Toronto,ON was on approach when ATC informed the pilots to abort the landing. Ground radar indicated something moving on the runway. Pilots continued to make the landing, and ignored ATC.
Mechanics working on a Sunwing Boeing had left a van running and in gear, which subsequently rolled without a driver across the runway. At some point, the van impacted the Sunwing 737.
However, there are a lot of errors here that could have been disaster. We are glad no one was injured. Safety first, everyone!
That said, of course we are glad no one was injured.
