2 kenya airways e190 collide
Not sure why but my last thread seems to have been been removed. Here is a beter link than the one I posted last time
https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/vide...tenance-mishap Think it will be more than a few days before back in service |
As smart as the Engineers think they are, they should NOT be at the controls of any aeroplane!!!!!!!!! I don’t pretend that I can change gaskets or top the oil up on a GP7270E......... |

Hmm.....Please enlighten us who you currently fly for! I'm sure the Engineers there would be very keen to hear your views and give you the due respect you obviously deserve! :ugh: |

Ive only ever seen one aircraft jump a chock.
C130 on startup. Airframe totalled. Full crew at the controls. Ground Engineer on long lead moved faster than the wind. |
Comet, C-130.....any pics of some of these or other engine runs incidents of the past. Have already seen the Etihad one.

Engine-run, loss of control, aircraft ran over the truck. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a7ff972481.jpg Maintenance startup with power-levers firewalled. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3054a7b455.jpg Engine-run, lost control. |
I'd posted the below on a different thread without having seen this one..
KQ stated "Both planes were scheduled to return to service in the next few days hence no disruption to normal operations". To me, this seems like the most backwards, untrue statement there can be! More like.. "they were scheduled to return to service in the next few days, therefore we will likely have to reduce some flight operations, especially as there are other 190s in our fleet that are soon do for a C check". Full KQ statement here What would it entail and how long might it take to restore these aircraft to airworthy condition? I don't know really anything at all about this type of damage and situation, but would I be wrong in thinking something like the following?

Kenya Airways is staring at an operational headache after three of its aircraft were pulled out of service this week, following two separate incidents.
On Tuesday evening, a Boeing Dreamliner 787 enroute to Johannesburg had to make an emergency landing in Dar es Salaam after it developed mechanical problems in mid-air. Engineers in Nairobi had detected an issue with the aircraft but it was cleared to fly after it was ruled out as a false alarm. In Dar es Salaam, the aircraft blew one of its GEnx engines, putting it out of service. “The aircraft made an emergency landing in Dar and it was then decided that the flight be cancelled. Passengers were booked into a hotel and flown to Johannesburg the next day via South African Airways,” a source said. https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/bus...srw/index.html |
Knowing nothing about full power ground engine runs, (I only use full power to get airborne on days when flex power is not sufficient), I am surprised that aircraft being tested statically at full power are not chained or otherwise fixed to hard points in the engine run-up bay. Relying on loose chocks and brakes and a human’s reactions to chop the power seems a bit dodgy to be honest. I would have thought that at the very least, some sort of main wheel sized chocks that bolt to the ground would have been used. |
Ignore the troll tryin it on about engineers. I doubt he/ she is a “ professional pilot “ , as this place is riddled with spotters these days. I used to do full power engine runs on 757 on the parking brake , shaking like hell they were. I had to do it because company wouldn’t authorise or train the engineers to taxi them , which I thought was very short sighted |
Just 'cause I looked it up:
Sec. 25.735 Brakes. ..... (d) Parking brake. The airplane must have a parking brake control that, when selected on, will, without further attention, prevent the airplane from rolling on a dry and level paved runway when the most adverse combination of maximum thrust on one engine and up to maximum ground idle thrust on any, or all, other engine(s) is applied. The control must be suitably located or be adequately protected to prevent inadvertent operation. There must be indication in the cockpit when the parking brake is not fully released. |
I once was asked to to some ground testing of a 737 that had some issues with the engine anti ice systems. I’m not a test pilot in any way, so I agreed to taxi the aircraft into posistion and transferred controls to the tech guy who then did the engine run. I was not going to take the blame for anything going wrong. This was a management by fear airline, so it was important to keep your back clear. |
I was not going to take the blame for anything going wrong. I don’t get involved in maintenance. I sign the tech log, and then I get off. Unless the engineer gives me an aircraft that is released for flight, I turn around and get right off. As as you say, in today’s world of accountant and lawyer driven management, I have zero interest in putting my lisense on the line for those looking for scapegoats when it all goes pear shaped. If maintenance needs a plane repo’ed, I can help. But all maintenance will take place after I sign the tech log and get off the aircraft. |
A couple more incidents here. I remember an A310 in Vancouver that was run into a hangar. Some CB's were pulled during the test run and may have affected the brakes. If anyone has further info, it would be appreciated.

I'm sorry, but there are times when from my armchair, I say, FFS, I could have stopped that happening.

This engine test had a slightly different ending
