AMS/EHAM/Schiphol/04-01-2012 Air Astana tailstrike

Post by maarten-sr »

sorry voor het niet English publiceren van onderstaande tekst, later zal ik het vertalen
Vandaag vertrok de P4-KCA als KC904 om 12.39 vanaf baan 24 en maakte een tailstrike zie de foto hieronder
een aardige rookpluim ontwikkelde zich achter de kist
het schijnt zelfs op het nieuws(radio) geweest te zijn maar heb dit niet zelf gehoord
de B767 heeft zijn start niet afgebroken en is daarna doorgevlogen, ter hoogte van Apeldoorn omgekeerd en terug naar Schiphol
heeft boven Noord-Holland in de holding gevlogen waarschijnlijk tot brandstof zo goed als op was
en is daarna veilig geland op baan 27 om 14.56
photo 700mm & crop
misschien heeft iemand nog aanvullende informatie of correctie op mijn verhaal

Dus toch een tailstrike :|
Dat is niet zo best. Gelukkig is de terugkeer verder goed verlopen


edit: would you mind if I post my pics of today in this topic? or would you like to keep this one for the tailstrike?

Small detail; the part seen scraping over the rwy is the tail skid (metal/rubber bump at the rear, preventing the fuselage structure to grind over any surface) so that part functions as it should do.

Nice shots gentlemen !!! Indeed is the tail protected by a skid, but due to that the crew decided to come back again to EHAM.

After V1, which is somewhere in the latter part of the takeoff roll, you're not supposed to abort a takeoff. If they would have, they'd have ended up on the A4 somewhere..

The EICAS message "tailskid" will probably have popped up on the flight deck, indicating to the crew what happened.
