The operator had suspended operations for several months due to Covid-19 restrictions, and prior to the incident flight the reservation system from which the load sheet was produced had been upgraded. There was a fault in the system which, when a female passenger checked in for the flight and used or was given the title ‘Miss’, caused the system checked her in as a child. The system allocated them a child’s standard weight of 35 kg as opposed to the correct female standard weight of 69 kg. Consequently, with 38 females checked in incorrectly and misidentified as children, the G-TAWG takeoff mass from the load sheet was 1,244 kg below the actual mass of the aircraft.
Bird Strike...

A Learjet 31A, owned by Alliance 171 LLC, registration N171AR, suffered a bird strike (bird got ingested by an engine) on takeoff from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF/KBUF), New York, USA.
The aircraft returned and landed safely at BUF.

This incredible photo was captured shortly after 10:30am this morning at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport in Cheektowaga. Local photographer Matt Pulinski happened to be in the right place at the right time to snap this photo of a Learjet encountering a bird strike upon take-off. A large bird collided with the jet, prompting a precautionary emergency landing. Fortunately, no crew members or passengers sustained injuries, but the bird did not fair as well.
According to the FAA, bird strikes account for 94% of all wildlife collisions with aircraft, totalling over 227,000 incidents in the US since 1990, with 842 recorded incidents at BNIA alone. While bird strikes are incredibly common in the aviation industry, it's extremely rare event to photograph, considering the event happens in less than a second and is nearly impossible to predict. That makes this image, quite literally, a one in a million shot.

The [Dispatch Deviation Guide] procedure required the cockpit landing gear selection lever to be cycled with hydraulic power applied to the aircraft. To prevent the landing gear from retracting, the procedure required pins to be inserted in the nose and main landing gear downlocks. However, the NLG downlock pin was installed in the NLG downlock apex pin bore which was adjacent to the correct location to install the downlock pin. When the landing gear selector was cycled the NLG retracted.
An Airworthiness Directive had been issued, with a 36-month compliance from 16 January 2020, to install an insert over the apex pin bore to prevent incorrect installation of the downlock pin, but this had not yet been implemented on G-ZBJB.
