From the Actuals it would seem as if the met was not too bad and contamination was minimal and braking action good.

Pure speculation, but assuming no lack of attention, one of the hardest stop situations is with an engine failure at low
speed when rudder authority is minimal. I have done this a few times in the simulator, and remaining on the runway is harder
than with an engine failure close to V1 in 100metres visibility.

They didn't read the script, you are supposed to use a B738 for this :D (I guess Wizzair didn't read it either)

[SMT Member]

Going off the paved surfaces seems to be quite "popular" in Europe this winter. If memory serves me right, we've had Air Berlin (x2), Wizzair and now Iran Air. I've excluded the Martinair incident since that didn't happen during flight ops.

Apart from going off, doesn't seem to much else these incidents have in common. Anybody been able to spot common denominators - something we could all learn from?

[Mike Whiskey Romeo]

SMT,

don't forget the FR in PIK too:hmm:

[Moonwalker]

Blame the low timers, easiest so :} :ok: Think the explanation is as simple as more snow... more unusual things happening involved winter ops.

[SMT Member]

Cheers MWR. Come to think of it, didn't someone go offpisting in IST too?

[HomelessScientist]

In the current political climate, shouldn't the headline read "Iranian jet attacks Swedish soil"? :ugh:

[SMT Member]

Just seen picture of a UTAir going off in VKO, no details I'm afraid.

In summary (feel free to add/correct)

Ryanair/PIK
Air Berlin/NUE
Air Berlin/DTM
Wizzair/KBP
AeroSvit/KBP
Iran Air/ARN
UTAir/VKO

That's rather a lot in my opinion, but don't know if it's above/below/on par with the average for a winters season. I think the best that can be said for all these incidents is that nobody got seriously hurt and that most, if not all, of the aircraft will live to fly another day.

Going off the paved surfaces seems to be quite "popular" in Europe this winter. If memory serves me right, we've had Air Berlin (x2), Wizzair and now Iran Air.An AN-124 was off-piste on Thursday at EKKA. Don't know many details but it managed to get stuck in the grass, apparently whilst turning onto the runway.

[SMT Member]

Where's EKKA? Somewhere in Denmark I guess, but not familiar with that code.

[Nemrytter]

EKKA is Karup Airport (KRP) in Denmark.

TopBunk was spot on. Left engine stall/failure at low speed followed by a quick exit to the left. FOD? Bird?

[doishquattroserche]

low speed rto always tricky ,if they stopped anywhere near the piano keys then they can be pretty slippery .looks like the engine went pop ,by the time they recognised it ,perhaps the second or two of assymetric thrust got them towards the edge of the rwy which may have been slippery.Actually looks like a good job ,no injuries ,jet largely intact.

TO: m99

Nice post! Should stop all speculations:ok:

[hetfield]

Yup, thx m99:ok:

Like most twins, the A300 is a real beast with T/O thrust in low speed regime.

Good job of the IRAN guys.

[stansdead]

I am led to believe that the runway condition was, frankly, misreported to the Wizzair guys.

And you know what? It doesn't surprise me at all that the guys were given duff info.

The place (KBP) can be a nightmare and needs to be approached with extreme caution in anything other than a summer CAVOK afternoon. Even then, you should be careful.

There was an Il-76 (Yas Air, EP-GOM) which did a 180 degree pirouette on the runway in Kiev on 09JAN as well.

You can add Norwegian at BDU to that list as well.

I heard a whisper the other day that an aircraft left the taxiway at Glasgow some time during the recent bad weather. It was rumoured to belong to a large airline based in a low-lying country at the south end of the North Sea.

Left engine stall/failure at low speed followed by a quick exit to the left. FOD? Bird?

Went to look at the aircraft last night at ARN.
The engine looks perfect, no fan damage, just a spatter of molten metal on the LP turbine blades.
Thats the sort of engine failure I like! Takes 10 seconds to declare an engine change.

[hetfield]

The Swedish Havarikommission (SAIB) released their final report (http://www.havkom.se/virtupload/reports/RL%202012_21e.pdf) concluding the probable causes of the incident were:

Operational

- Deficiencies in the certification process for large aircraft with wing-mounted engines with regard to requirements for yaw stability in the event of sudden loss of engine power in the speed range below VMCG.Ooops!

Does that mean, beside these lovely but over 40 years old planes, ALL LARGE AIRCRAFTS WITH WING-MOUNTED engines are affected?

swapped to R&N

[BOAC]

If you boys and girls would look around a bit you'll find quite a useful thread about this on R&N with a full report too.:ok:

[hetfield]

Yes BOAC.

But the first line of the search function directed me into here....
