IV-6936 MD83 overrun at Mahshahr, Iran
Fortunately this accident did not involve loss of life on 27/1/2020 despite ending up on a dual carriageway adjacent to the airport, as it was not a ‘Table Top’ airfield.
Reported on AVHerald.com following Iran‘s AIB report.
Once again, similar to IX 1344, a tailwind landing flown by a very experienced elderly male Captain with a very inexperienced FO, ignoring various aircraft generated alerts, and essentially operating as ‘single crew’ style. The FO was essentially afraid to pipe up. Probably Culture was an issue as well?
Another testosterone fuelled macho style of flying resulting in a crash, as was PIA 8303.
I do wonder if a women had been in the LHS of these aircraft if the accidents would have occurred?
I am trying to think when the last public transport accident occurred with a women in the LHS?
SWA 1380 demonstrated that a critical emergency with an uncontained engine ‘explosion’ and rapid decompression was extremely well handled despite aircraft damage with a women in the LHS.
Perhaps more women in the LHS might reduce accidents, as despite conventional CRM training they continue to occur with monotonous regularity.
