SeaVisionBurma Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've altered the title of the news article as the post headline - "Two planes crash on runway at Rangoon Airport" was a touch strong in description! and OOPS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough I thought about checking PPRuNe when I posted the link after Phazey told me about the bingle, but I didn't think that a Myanmar incident would be on there. Good to see even PPRuNe has their eyes in Yangon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchurch259 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Airbus has had on going problems with their "Brake & Steering Control Computer" and if you do not have the latest Service Bulletin accomplished on the computer you can loose steering, but should have brakes. As a last resort you can stop the aircraft with reverse thrust. Once you stop you have to shutdown the engines to keep the aircraft from moving again.

harrry Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I cannot work out if the plane with the damaged nose could not stop and banged into the rear door or if the other plane was being turned and they misjudged the leangth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peecee Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yeah well done, when i read the headline, i immediately thought of Tenerife The headline put the shivers up me. That was an horrific incident in Tenerife, with a captain who although vastly experienced, thought he new best; I hope to never see the like again.
