A Jet2 733 inbound to BLK from FAO performed a go-around. No confirmation but I'm guessing the 35kt NNW wind had something to do with it.

Not normally news-worthy but I believe it's the first we've seen from a commercial aircraft this year.
A million great ideas...

One of the comments at the end of that article stated that, beginning January 1, 2012, all AN24 and all TU134 aircraft would no longer be allowed to fly regularly scheduled passenger service in Russia. Is there any validity to this statement? I haven't seen it reported anywhere else, and my superior googling capabilities bore no relevant results.

The ban was ordered by Putin last month:-

http://english.ruvr.ru/2011/06/24/52337945.html

Russia will ban flights by short-range Tupolev Tu-134, Antonov An-24 and Yakovlev Yak-40 planes as of 2012, ITAR-TASS reports citing the Russian Transportation Ministry.

Short-range aircraft are not fitted with a ground proximity warning system.


I don't think it's got as much to do with safety as it has to do with boosting sales of some of Russia's new regional aircraft.

It will be postponed, then postponed again, and then probably forgotten about until another crash, when the cycle will run again. There are too many airports in Russia which can only accept the An-24, where even the ATRs/Dashes/An-140 aren't a suitable replacement.

Pretty much from what I can gather. The An-24 is a tough old crate that is vastly over-engineered to compensate for the Russian's traditional mistrust of material limitations, whereas their newer regional aircraft are far more modern in their approach and possibly won't fair well in the backwaters of Dagestan and the like.

ARN-ORD flight grounded by mouse


A mouse has grounded a flight from Stockholm to Chicago.

The mouse was seen scurrying across the floor of the SAS Airbus 330 before passengers began to board on Tuesday.

The creature had evaded capture despite "an extensive search onboard and numerous mouse traps placed inside the aircraft", SAS was quoted as saying.


When I first read that I saw moose and wondered how on earth it got in an A330! {boggled}

Plus the An-24 is designed to operate from unpaved surfaces, or those runways which are made of very poor grade materials including gravel or even ice. It has one of the lowest requirements for pavement surface strength of any civillian airliner, with an ACN of 6-13, depending on surface quality. Most older Soviet/Russian aircraft share this trait, even the Tu-134 and Tu-154 could land on remarkably soft runways thanks to a combination of lower tyre pressures and multiple bogies.

Which also meant the ERJ-190/F70 scheduled to operate the flight had gone tech first. KLM's F100s are, last time I checked, only in use for mx substitutions.

Mahan Air A300, nose gear collapse at Mashad:
A Mahan Airbus A300-600, registration EP-MNT performing flight W5-613 (dep Sep 3rd) from Tehran Mehrabad to Mashad (Iran) with 230 passengers, landed hard on Mashad's runway 31R bursting the nose wheel tyres just after midnight (19:30Z Sep 3rd). The aircraft subsequently veered off the runway and came to a stop with the nose on soft ground, the nose gear collapsed. The passengers were evacuated via slides. 3 passengers received serious, 8 passengers minor injuries. The aircraft received substantial damage.

Runway 13L/31R had to be closed due to the disabled aircraft. The aircraft is estimated to be moved off the runway during the afternoon.

Emergency services reported three passengers received hip and lower limb injuries and are in hospital care. Eight passengers were released from hospital after treatment.

I flew this aircraft at least once, when it was still flying for LH as D-AIAR.

Another A300 bites the dust. What's the betting the seriously injured were indulging in the traditional Middle Eastern pastime of getting up before the plane has landed in order to be the first off?
A million great ideas...

Mouse On Plane Cancels Flight
Updated: Monday, 05 Sep 2011, 8:54 AM EDT
Published : Monday, 05 Sep 2011, 8:54 AM EDT
KATMANDU, Nepal - Airline officials say flight attendants spotted a mouse in the pantry of a Boeing 757, prompting Nepal Airlines to cancel a Bangkok-bound flight, evacuate passengers and tow the jet to a hanger to hunt for the rodent.
Airline spokesman Raju K.C. says the mouse is believed to have boarded the plane at the Katmandu airport Monday through a food catering truck.
He says the animal darted out of the pantry toward the back of the plane, where it remained unnoticed by the few passengers who had boarded. The cabin crew unsuccessfully hunted the mouse and then decided to cancel the flight and perform a more thorough search.
The airline spokesman says the plane will not be used again until the mouse is found.
