Apperently hinges are good quality!:D

The pre-departure walk-around obviously not:bored:

[barit1]

Walk-around is optional with some operators. :uhoh:

[Una Due Tfc]

Impressive and worrying at the same time!

IAE engines seem to shed cowls off Airbuses with some regularity as well.

[FullWings]

Given the possibilities for dangerous and expensive damage when cowls are left unlocked, I do wonder why they don't have proximity sensors near the latches? These are fitted to the cockpit windows in most airliners and that is mostly to stop embarrassment. Many cars have sensors to tell you if the bonnet isn't locked properly, can't be rocket science... :confused:

[Kulverstukas]

It's only partly off here, because it's same human factor, same airport and same ground team:

(ups! is from 2:35)

Never heard of a proximity sensor in the cockpit window, and I'm about to transition to my third airliner family.

Which airliners have these sensors? I've flown Douglas products and Boeing products and neither had a "window open" warning.

Ни хрена себе головотяпство! Кто ж к двигателю при включенном маячке подходит?

Translation: why even approach the engine with the beacon still on?

[Huck]

If you open a 777 DV window, there's a placard on the frame that says "WINDOW OPEN."

Makes me lose hope for humanity, it does....

[flyboyike]

While that would, in fact, make one lose what little faith in humanity he never had in the first place, that's a far cry from a "proximity sensor".

[nitpicker330]

777 has sensors on the number 2 flight deck windows.
If the Window is open you'll get an EICAS "Window Flight Deck L/R"

So yes some Airliners do have them

Is that from the previous flight before the flight with where the cowling came off?


Notice the man in the dark coat approaching the man who was at fault? He refuses to stop and the dark coated man tries to grab his arm.

[Machinbird]

Notice the man in the dark coat approaching the man who was at fault? He refuses to stop and the dark coated man tries to grab his arm. Standard procedure for getting someone's attention in a noisy environment.

I'm really curious what putting cones down in front of engines is supposed to do.....other than FOD engines that is :E. BTW, that is an Airbus in the video.

[llondel]

Translation: why even approach the engine with the beacon still on?

WTF was he doing walking up to the front of a still-running engine? Under other circumstance he'd be taking a closer look at the inside himself.

I was watching the video and couldn't believe that bit so I wound it back and watched more closely.

[transilvana]

Crew walk around in Russia? Welcome to the real world, they don´t do that, they have someone to do it in the ground who actually does nothing.

This is a walk around inspection done by russian pilots on a bizjet, they started engines with engine covers on!!!!!! You may look at the engine, actually the left engine.

Hold your horses, :mad: of this magnitude has happened in the o so well educated west as well.

Humans do make errors.

[transilvana]

Yep, it happens, but not on the left engine with a Hughe RED engine cover 10 meters away from you and pax boarding the aircraft. Actually this incident happened less than 1 year ago. You should see the face of the aircraft owner who was the pax on board!!!

I arrived to the parking just minutes after and you could still smell the plastic burnt from the engine, it was a plastic engine cover.

[Heathrow Harry]

Having seen a United guy with a Swiss Army knife spending an hour at LHR trying to close the latch nothing would surprise me

amazed it doesn't happen more often TBH

[tdracer]

it was a plastic engine cover.

A plastic engine cover did that to the fan? How the :mad: did it ever pass bird strike?

Looks about the same as a fiberglas nose spinner failure. Typically weighs more than a standard bird and sits around longer waiting for the right edge to catch a blade

[Heathrow Harry]

yeah - flaps up and down as well - I guess eventually the oscillation gets big enough to get caught by a fan blade and then.........

I think you will find that IAE make the engine and not the cowlings....
