A300 disabled on rwy OAIX

[MaxBlow]

I just read that an A300B4 had an incident in Afganistan. Donno if it was on T/O roll or after landing but most important is that nobody's hurt.

Flight was operated by ACT on behalf of DHL.

The header of this post is slightly incorrect, insofar as the aircraft is not actually off the runway but still very much on it.

According flightglobal, MLG collapse on landing due suspected hydraulic failure. Aircraft suffered substantial damage, including a totalled LH engine.

Aircraft was TC-ACB, as mentioned an ACT bird operating on behalf of DHL, and is probably a write-off, not least because it's blocking the only runway in Bagram and NATO is rather keen on getting that very important airbase back up running. I suspect it'll be pulled off the runway with little regard to preserving whatever integrity of the aircraft is still intact.

That used to be G-CEXI with Channel Express. Sad to see that it may be the end of her.

Aparently hit by a rocket on approach, crew of 5 all okay.

"Bagram yaklaşması sırasında roketle vuruldu" ACT UÇAÐI ROKETLE VURULDU (http://www.airkule.com/default.asp?page=haber&id=8318)

[FCS Explorer]

ACT Airlines, on behalf of DHL Bahrain Bahrain-Bagram-Bahrain flight DHX521-522 TC-ACB registered aircraft that perform the rocket was shot during Bagram approach.

The rocket hit the plane's left landing gear of the bullets, emptying caused by hydraulic. Tower "emergency landing" that reports that pilots successfully landed at the runway but the landing gear hydraulic folding left vacant due to the output from the runway and aircraft.
Airbus A 300 type aircraft, the crew of 5 persons incident survived unscathed.

Security forces at Bagram airport incident was confiscated. CIA officials completed their investigation of the incident related to me of his return to Turkey after the crew were reported.

Seems the Turkish media is as bad as any other! The rocket attack has been denied by the operator and witnesses;

Press Release from ACT;
After the first press release that has been published yesterday, due to the news published on some internet sites we feel obliged to make this second release.

Neither the current pictures of the aircraft taken after the incident nor the inspection performed by the operating crew indicate any sign for an impact on the aircraft that may be caused by a foreign object. The technical team that has been dispatch for a thorough inspection will arrive into Bagram Airport at 15:00 Turkey local time and a detailed report will be prepared afterwards.

The operating crew in Bagram Airport was not questioned by any party. The technician and the load master are in contact with the local authorities for the offloading of the aircraft. After meeting the technical team in Bagram and helping them conduct the thorough inspection, the crew will travel back to Bahrain with the technical team.

Do we know why the approach and landing was being filmed?

[JW411]

Because the chap on the jumpseat happened to have a video camera about his person.

[tubby linton]

What are the beeps heard twice before touchdown?

[I Love Midex]

The captain wasn't wearing his shoulder harness. Way to go, pony tail.

[dixi188]

The beeps are the Landing Gear warning horn.

I think the reason the video was taken was that the guy had the camera and there was a Gear unsafe warning so this might be an interesting landing.

I don't understand Turkish, so does any one know if the Evacuation Checklist was carried out?
In this case it would be quite important to close the fuel tank shut-off valves. There's no fire so it would appear to have been done.

:}:}:}

Maybe the pony tail was attached to the seat back and replaced the shoulder harness.:ugh:

not nice to see a good airframe ending like that.

[freightdoggy dog]

Dixie, CCC, way to go certain EDI loadmaster :)...Im sure with a bit of precussion adjustment with Tasty Geezers maglight and some white paint she do another trip.

[Smudger]

You see guys.. even MY landings in this aeroplane weren't THAT bad...

[Sensible Garage]

A300 cargo plane, suffered a landing mishap at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan. It came to rest on the left runway shoulder of runway 03, approximately 500 ft north of taxiway Charlie and just south of the 3000 feet remaining distance marker. It has been reported that the airplane suffered a collapse of, presumably the left hand, main undercarriage.

abidin on Yahoo! Video (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/7108873/18501330)

Whoaaaaaaa!

Curious for comments from native Turkish (?) speakers on the talk before, during and after.

Observation for starters, no shoulder straps in A300s?? No comments on pirate heardo of capt please.

[BigHitDH]

Never mind the haircut, where's the seatbelt? :confused:

[patrickal]

It looks like they were working against a pretty strong cross wind, based upon both the motion of the camera and the direction the nose of the aircraft was facing in relationship to the runway. At the same time, the touchdown seemed relatively smooth and it seemed they were decellerating normally when the failure occurred. So....we will have to wait to find out what the failure was. New concept.

[JanetFlight]

Typical...when there is so much we can talk about, some only cares about the hair style of that PIC...For your info, i have the hair almost reaching my waist, and im being a commercial pilot for almost 16 years, and being an Airport Authority either for similar amount of time...IMHO profissionalism has nothing to do with hair styles, tattos, piercings, etc...Fly safe my Friends:ok:

[dixi188]

IIRC, when this aircraft left Channex 4 years ago, the landing gear was due overhaul.
Just asking????
