WWW.FACEBOOK.COM New video has emerged of a Jetstar aircraft taxiing for takeoff in Sydney with one of its cargo doors wide open. It turned around safely, but the Transport Union has slammed the company in charge...
tillmanr Posted October 8 Posted October 8 It is reported that they returned after seeing a warning light for the hatch when taxiing. 1
onetrack Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Nev, you didn't miss much, the video was so bad, it wasn't worth watching. One does have to wonder how the crew managed to miss a warning light for the open cargo door, at startup.
facthunter Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Maybe bright sunlight in the cockpit? What about the despatching engineer talking to the Pilot before the Plane is pushed back showing the gear pins and knowing the brakes are released. The baggage is often loaded right up till the Last Minute. Nev 1
Arron25 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Don't Walk Arounds happen in the 'heavy' world? maybe not the number of times we hear about pitot covers and bits of tape left on? 1
onetrack Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Arron - As Nev says, though - loading of baggage is still happening almost up to the last minute, while the crew are in the cockpit doing final checks. There's obviously holes in Jetstars loading procedures and door checks.
rgmwa Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Surely there is an indicator in the cockpit showing the door open or closed and confirmed as part of the pre-takeoff checklist?
BrendAn Posted October 9 Posted October 9 a basic car these days comes with 360 deg cameras. you would think aircraft could have cameras too. the crew could do a last minute check from the cockpit. there seems to be a lot of incidents happening on the ground lately. 1
johnm Posted October 9 Posted October 9 anything is possible in the real world reminds me when we were all seated on a Qlink Dash at say 5.30 am in the morning - at Brisbane - next announcement was all you bods get off - so it was back to the terminal - Qlink had to fix a flat tyre we didn't grumble - we all thought the experience was a ripper 1
onetrack Posted October 9 Posted October 9 You can get a flat tyre anywhere, I guess - there's been a few blowouts on takeoff, it doesn't seem to pose a major safety problem. But an open cargo door upon taxiing is procedural and check list failure, on a number of levels.
Bennyboy320 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 The before start check list gets you to confirm all doors closed before pushback, some airlines arm the slides before starting the push others arm the slides during the push. You definitely get a warning, have attached a few pics of ecam plus oxy/door page on the A320. 2 4
