Ouch he ran over my toe!
DGCA, Air India order probe in airport accident
I love the extract
Yeah like one can make out the difference above 1000 kgs
If it was at the time of Push back wouldn't the tug operator be the one responsible????
I love the extract
Fortunately, the accident involved the nose wheel of the aircraft, much lighter in weight than the tail, which carries the entire weight of baggage in the aircraft as well as passengers.
“It looks like a communication error between the pilot and the technician. At the time of pushback, Kishore fell and the front wheel of the aircraft ran over his leg,”

Have noticed some pilots leaving the paking brakes OFF...and others putting them OFF without a positive clearance from the technician on the ground interphone....wonder if this was the accident waiting to happen because of this particular "bad habit".
