i fail to see the incident. the pilot made wrong data input but corrected this at TO and nothing happened.
Agreee totally - entering wrong TO data is not an issue
Oh, hang on:
EK A340
MK 747 Halifax
From p52 of that report:
1.18.8 Take-off Accidents – Inadequate PerformanceA review of large (above 5700 kg), turbine-powered aircraft accident and incident data has shown that there have been at least 12 major occurrences where take-off performance was significantly different from scheduled performance. Four of the aircraft involved were destroyed and there were 297 fatalities.
I am not "blaming" the crew - the dumbing down of takeoff perf (typing figures into a computer / ACARS get semeingly random results out/back) and the range of types / weights one can fly even on the same day mean that trapping errors by observaiton / experience is almost impossible. Rigourous use of SOPs - yes, but across lots of airlines / fleets / crews, all that is reduce the number of errors, not eliminate them.
