A large chunk of this (4.5 kilograms or 9.9 lb) struck the underside of the aircraft's wing structure at well over 300 kilometres per hour (190 mph). During the Concorde's subsequent take-off run, this piece of debris, still lying on the runway, ruptured a tyre which then burst. or here.Ī Continental Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-10 lost a titanium part, about 30 centimetres (12 in) wide and 43 centimetres (17 in) long, during a takeoff from Charles de Gaulle Airport. 90 minutes later she came back to LHR and the damage is there to see on the front left tyre of the right main gear. Traffic stacked up while 27R was checked for debris. On take-off the captain reported hearing a tyre burst.

#UNITED 747 COCKPIT TAKEOFF FULL#
The aircraft, which had been bound for London Heathrow with 265 passengers and 18 crew members, landed safely.Ī Qatar Airways Boeing 777-300 performing flight QR-778 from Miami,FL (USA) to Doha (Qatar), lined up runway 09 at taxiway T1 (approximately 2600 meters/8500 feet takeoff distance available, full runway length 3968 meters/13,016 feet) and departed Miami's runway 09 but struck the approach lights runway 27 during departure. There is no separate indication in the cockpit for leading-edge slat position.Īfter stabilising the 747's climb, the crew declared to air traffic control that they were experiencing problems with two engines and would be returning to the airport. In its inquiry report into the incident, the CAA says the crew had "no notion" that the slats had retracted before rotation. Instead of following the typical climb profile, the first officer - whose aerobatic experience meant he was familiar with buffet - controlled the aircraft through the stall warning and buffeting by executing a shallower climb, while the commander supported the manoeuvre by calling out heights above ground. South Africa's Civil Aviation Authority has praised the airmanship of British Airways Boeing 747-400 pilots who battled to prevent a low-altitude stall after the leading-edge slats unexpectedly retracted during lift-off from Johannesburg.Īt 167kt on the take-off roll, fractionally below rotation speed, all the leading-edge slats inboard of the engines on each side automatically retracted, after receiving a spurious indication of thrust-reverser activation.Īs the aircraft tried to climb out from Tambo International Airport, known for its 'hot and high' environment, the jet lost a "significant amount of lift", says the CAA, and the stick-shaker immediately engaged, warning of an approaching stall.
