The pilot of a China Airlines Boeing 747-400 freighter
that undershot a runway at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport
had inadequate rest — thanks to a crying baby at home —
which affected his alertness.

Releasing its final report into the 2018 incident,
the Taiwan Transportation Safety Board (TTSB) also found that the co-pilot,
who was flying the plane,
inappropriately operated the freighter as it landed.

On 13 December 2018, the 747-400 freighter, registered B-18717,
was operating flight CI 6844 from Hong Kong to Taipei Taoyuan.

Its main landing gear touched down about 27m before the runway touchdown point and struck several runway lights.

The hard landing also caused minor damage to the main landing gear tires.

Investigations also revealed that two days before the incident,
the 44-year-old pilot had poor sleep quality
after returning from a late night flight,

because of a crying baby in his home.

The night before the incident,
the baby’s crying also affected his sleep quality.

This affected alertness during the flight,
especially when his colleague had issues on final approach.
