S V Choong 4 Report post Posted June 21, 2012 It's just lucky that it didn't end up as similar fate to Federal Express flight 80, also in Narita in 2009. (Flight originated from China as well!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cire 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 Youtube link - http://www.youtube.com/embed/S7pXjQ16f5c An ANA All Nippon Airways Boeing 767-300, from Beijing (China) to Tokyo Narita (Japan) with 193 people on board, touched down on Narita Airport's runway 16R, bounced off and touched down a second time nose gear first before the aircraft settled on the runway at about 13:30L (04:30Z), rolled out and taxied to the apron. No injuries occurred, the aircraft received substantial damage. A first post flight examination revealed the fuselage skin received numerous serious creases just ahead of the wing root all around the circumference. Japan's TSB confirmed the aircraft received substantial damage and opened an investigation into the accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 The ANA flight landed under very windy conditions, as did the FedEx MD-11F. Many are of the opinion that they should have done a TOGA instead of trying to land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 Wrinkles can be err ............... arranged, though not necessarily in 1:400 in strict sense Dunno about the differing regn numbers though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
