Ryanair Taxi incident Carcassonne
Apparently a Ryanair 737 tried to remodel a building at Carcassonne yesterday - everyone delayed and much sucking of teeth !
I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE
Maybe its time to make a Ryanair taxi incident sticky thread where all the taxi incidents can be incorporated.
If the latest report is true then, so far this year: CCS, LCJ, EMA + the runway excursion at LIG.
Surely that must be some kind of record?

Friend flew out of Carcassonne - they taxied off, thump, stopped - looked at wingtip, building, got engineers involved and eventually set off in another aeroplane. Rather late.

I'll be ''frenchly'' honest
Carcassonne Airport management tried to make FR pay some kind of aggravation on parking fees because of double bay occupation :
they fled in a hurry, just to avoid payment.... and scratched the terminal building
quite hairy, isn't it !
deplorable french humour, I'm afraid !

CCF, LMG, DNR, FNI in fact virually any French airport, one is best to ignore the " marshaller" and just follow the lines...........if you are given an indication of where the want you to park in the first place!!

What I truly find amazing is the lack of posts about serious incidents such as the Thomsonfly 737 at Bournemouth last year compared to microscopic detail of everything Ryanair does.
Most people reading this probably don't even remember the incident I'm referring to.

What? you mean

Since it was not an 'accident' I don't think there will be any AAIB report. It will have been investigated, of course.

Yes thank you that's the one.
Four pages about an incident where it's alleged that a 737 on approach to a UK airfield got to 40 ish degrees nose up and a speed of less than 90 kts???? ......but ten pages about a minor taxi incident at Ryanair?
I think you just helped make my point.

I tend to sympathise with anyone that has a taxi incident when being marshalled into a parking bay,however I recently (reluctantly ) took a Ryanair flight from Kerry and all I can say is they do deserve some of these incidents! If the crew flying this particular flight were working for me they would now be visiting their local job centre! Yes MOL you can try nail me however 172 people witnessed two members of the cabin crew being tossed onto the laps of passengers whilst the aircraft was being rotated around its right main wheels in order to get out of the parking bay in Kerry airport. Having flown nearly 4500hrs on 737's I have never had the need to handle an aircraft so badly! The airbourne part of the journey was also interesting as an endurance test for the speed brakes,or perhaps they were doing an evaluation for Boeing on how long they could remain deployed!!
That said the flight was cheap and on time!

It was actually row 4 and having flown the 737 I quite aware of how much power was being applied and how unnecessary that was. In 30 years of flying I have never dumped crew across the laps of pax during taxi! It was cowboy operation at its best and incidently a letter has gone to the Chief pilot expressing my concerns!
Further more from that seat I was able to feel the "scuffing " that the nose wheel was enduring and on rotation was able to feel the vibration from the nose wheel that often is the result of this type of turning. Too many of this type of turn causes the nose wheels to become unbalanced and therefore results in the vibration experienced on take off! Agreed this is not always tthe case but having experienced this type of cowboy turn I was hardly surprised!

Hi S
Was that post really necessary?
Maybe new Captain, quite possibly training, tight apron, crap marshalling.........??
As for speedbrakes well with your time on type and out of Luton too you should know better? Remember straight in on 08 at short notice? One thing Ryanair pilots are is current!

Hi Stan,
Was actually in to STN to take up the abbot hold lots of speed brake followed by lots of long level segments! I can let you have the details if you'd like to follow it up. I know not all Ryan air guys are cowboys but there appear to be more and more cowboys joining the ranks giving the good guys a bad name!

Anyone now anything about an unusual FR 737-800 approach into NQY on the 6th May?
Several circuits etc etc terminating in a long long taxi away from the terminal and a greeting party consisting of our friendly fire bobbies.
A friend of mine was on the flight and would like to know what happened.
