Aircraft off runway at SOU
I am surprised there is no statutory obligation to inform the AAIB of incidents of this nature.
Many of the reports on the AAIB website invloving commercial aircraft are relatively minor compared to this one. There are numerous reports, for example, of collisions with ground service vehicles whilst the aircraft is stationary at the gate.
I would have though an aircraft departing the side of the runway at speed is far more serious?

Ok, He made a mistake but he is not the first, This has all happened before in the USA except that the LH Wing struck the ground, The prop hit snapping off all the blades tips which then partly entered the passenger cabin. They bounced down the side of the aircraft and its now fitted with a scab patch which is 8ft long by 2.5 ft wide.
So give him a break he mannaged so save his passengers and the aircraft.
The same crew have flown together since, an MOR has been filed with the CAA.
All above board.

I'd be interested to know if this is the same SA dornier that had all the fire engines out at EDI last Monday morning for a "Gear problem".
They did a gear down fly by and landed 5 minutes later. They then shut down on the turnoff and after the pins were inserted they were towed to the stand.

Captain Tango - you intrigue me!
I have to say that this is not an idle story but I am somewhat limited in my ability to answer lest I embarass individuals within the company who would wish to remain anonymous. Suffice to say that there is a great deal to be concerned about about this incident and other aspects of what is going on. This is not malcontent talk or idle rumour. My previous comments hold good. The MOR that was originally filed was a much watered-down version of the truth. If that subsequently changed due to pressures from pilots within the company, well and good. The fact remains that an effort was made to cover up what happened.
Parttimer - you should edit your post immediately to remove all reference to your source to save embarrassment to the individual you quoted as it could rebound on him in a big way. I hope it has not done so already.
