CI 737-800 overshoots rwy in Saga (Japan)

[Denny Yen 0]

This was just reported on NHK news. CI's 737-800 overshot rwy while taking-off, and its right landing gear hit threshold lights at the end of the ramp.

 

This is the same a/c with the 70cm tear on the rear end. It sat on Saga airport's apron for repairs in the past few weeks before Japanese authorities approved it to return to its home-base.

 

NHK footage showed some debris/smoke under right gear as it left the threshold....apparently hitting something.

 

 

 

The remains of the threshold light (severed electrical wiring) by the a/c right gear...this spot is 60m from the rwy's ending.

Why do they always involved in the wrong news? Considering it is my company's priority carrier........

It's amazing how the plane seems to go on and on without lifting off. I wonder what's going on inside the pilots' heads, when they know they are running out of space?

The NHK article and newscaster seems to be quoting that the pilot said that the speedometer (or whatever they call it in aviation) was not functioning at the time of rotation. Aircraft returned to Saga shortly after the troubled took off.

This article (in Japanese) describes that pilot only discovered the malfunctioning speedo during the start of rotation. The Japanese Ministry of Transport had requested China Airlines to file a complete report of the incident.

Oh my goodness... CI 737NG again... Scary and sad...

Why didn't the flight crews perform RTO right after discovering the failure of the speed indicator? Pretty sure they found out the failure way before V1... when airspeed doesn't come alive after 30 (or 40?) kts... Daring act...

Either way it is fishy , Based on the amount of power he had , he sure would've had a rough estimation on when he should rotate even if the IAS indicator wasn't functioning properly

1st thing to do .. when u apply power... " airspeed alive" .... if its dead...RTO

Hollywood ah?! Another drama! <_>

Pretty sure they spot the problem at 80kts callout. Then both looking inside to sort out the problem. until they finally decided to look outside again.

hope this is not another incident where the pitot is blocked by a masking tape or something else when the ground crew cleans the aircraft. (Edit: I found out it was Aeroperu's flight 603)

 

I guess the pilot perform RTO after V1. I don't think the ASI died so ngam ngam when the time the plane is going to rotate.

 

CI is going to be REAL famous

Oh my.... it's CI again...

[Peter Smith 1]

WOW! I think "Dynasty" should be changed to "Die-nasty" the way they are headed!

[Izanee 0]

CI are looking to write off their fleet of 738s. Nice new livery but same pilots i guess. look at pictures in kai tak. most of the aircraft that ran off the runway were CI.

 

Die-nasty is really funny liam...hahahaha. not funny for the passengers though.
