Aviation safety investigations & reports
Investigation title
Flight planning - Airbus A380, VH-OQE, Los Angeles International Airport, USA, 8 October 2011
Summary
The aircraft took off without the correct speeds programmed into the flight management computer.
The investigation is continuing.
Anyone know if this is another example of incorrect performance data getting through the routine SOP cross checks of several crew? Or is it more likely hat the loadsheet was wrong so therefore the calculated speeds were wrong?
If it is the former it makes me wonder if we get 50 close calls for every tailstrike/ overrun?
