Plane crash at Cork Airport - TV3
Plane crash at Cork Airport 10.02.11 Avia Flight No FLT400C a metroliner SW4 with ten passengers and two crew has crashed at Cork Airport. No details of injuries or fatalities are available. The aircraft made an approach to Runway 17 in low visibility conditions (Category 2) and went around and did not land and attempted a second landing on Runway 35. The aircraft then went around a second time and came back for an approach to Runway 17. On the second approach to Runway 17 the aircraft crashed adjacent to Taxiway C. Rescue and Fire crew are in attendance. There is a fire and debris has been scattered onto the runway and over a wide area. The accident will be investigated by the Air Accident Unit of the Dept. of Transport. This is correct at this time and may be amended as more detail becomes available. |
Another newsflash on now - with "on the scene" report from radio correspondent. No mention of operator, but no correction. An ambulance has left the scene with Gardai escorting, so there is some hope there.
The web piece above is lifted directly from IAA website here : Irish Aviation Authority - Aircraft Crashes at Cork |
Sky News just reported it as Flight 7100 from Belfast City to Cork. Learmount now on Sky giving his wisdom.
|
|
Does somebody here know whether Manx2 is using nowadays D-registered FLM or EC-registered Flightline SWM Metros?
|
The aircraft involved appears to be EC-ITP of Flightavia.
|
|
Would such an aircraft have a DFDR (data recorder) and or CVR on board? Seem to remember that the DFDR was located in the tail section outside the pressure bulkhead |
Sky now reporting 6 dead, 6 injured.
|
From the BBC
'Three killed' in plane crash A small plane travelling from Belfast has crashed in fog at Cork Airport. It is understood three people have been killed, four are unaccounted for and several others injured. |
Shannon WX not great for diversion:

Sky news reports showing rwy 17 and rwy 35 at 90 degrees from each other?? How does that work?
|
Is this aircraft CAT 1 only?
|
Surely this approach was below minima??? "RVR 350m, broken cloud at 100 feet...."
Is Rwy 17 ILS Cat I or II...?? What is aircraft certified to?? |
