UPS:n 747F pudonnut Dubaissa

[Guest Nicket]

Ei ole vielä paljoa tietoa saatavilla. Alustavien tietojen mukaan kyseessä olisi UPS:n B747-400F rahtikone, joka olisi "pudonnut" moottoritielle.

 

At approximately 12 p.m. EST, UPS Flight 6 from Dubai, UAE, to Cologne, DE, a 747-400 with two crewmembers on board crashed on takeoff. At this time, we have not confirmed any casualties.

Belgialainen flightlevel-saitti tietää seuraavaa koneesta : UPS, Boeing 747-400, N571UP. BBC puolestaan kertoo koneessa syttyneen tulipalon sen laskeutuessa Dubain kentälle ollessa nousussa Dubaista

 

EDIT: ASNn mukaan molemmat lentäjät menehtyivät

Eipä ole näitä 747-400 sarjalaisten HULL LOSS montaa ollut tähän onnettomuuteen mennessä:

 

-On November 4, 1993, China Airlines Flight 605, flying from Taipei to Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport.

-On October 31, 2000, Singapore Airlines Flight 006, a 747-400 flying on a Singapore to Los Angeles via Taipei(Tropical livery)

-.

 

Eli 2 passenger versiota ja nyt sitten tämä UPS eka cargo versio.

 

Itse onnettomuus:

"Pilots on frequency of Bahrain Center reported, that the airplane had been enroute overhead the Arabian Gulf about 120nm westnorthwest of Dubai when the crew performed an emergency descent and reported a fire in the cockpit. Later they reported they were unable to read their instruments and were unable to change frequency asking for frequent updates on their altitude and speed from ATC"

 

Eli vaikeaa ollut jos ohjaamo niin sankkana savusta että ei pysty lukemaan instrumentteja;sokkona menty.

 

Aika synkkää ollut nyt ilmailun saralla viimeiset pari kuukautta kasaantuneet taas nämä onnettomuudet lyhyelle aikavälille.

Aika vähän kok onnettomuutta kommentoitu tai yleensäkin tietoa tullut hitaasti tai ei ollenkaan. Kysymyksessä sentään luotetava työjuhta jolla lyhyt onnettomuushistoria mutta ei se kiinnostakaan koska vain 2 kuoli jos olisi ollut vaikkapa 744 combi jossa enemmän ihmistä mukana tilanne olisi toinen.

 

UPS halunnee Boeing kanssa rauihassa selvittää enenkuin julkistavat mitään onhan UPS kuitenkin UPS eli status omalla sarallaan.

 

Tämän verran löysin:

 

"The aircraft was en route to Cologne but its pilots sent a message that they were returning to Dubai about 7:15 p.m. local time, or 22 min. after takeoff.

 

"The UAE ATC Centre issued a clearance [for the returning 747 to land] when aircraft was approximately 40 km. from touchdown," GCAA stated. "The aircraft was high on the approach and was at 8,500 ft. at 24 km. from touchdown. It passed overhead the airfield very high and made a right turn...The aircraft tracked southwest and rapidly lost altitude. At approximately [7:42 p.m. local time], radar contact was lost."

 

GCAA said Sunday it had recovered the cockpit voice recorder and was searching for the flight data recorder.

 

"This is a terrible tragedy, and all of us at UPS extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of both of these crewmembers," UPS CEO Scott Davis said. The company identified the pilots as Capt. Doug Lampe of Louisville and First Officer Matthew Bell of Sanford, Fla. Both were based at UPS Airlines' Anchorage domicile.

 

According to UPS, the aircraft's tail number was N571UP. It took delivery of the freighter from Boeing in September 2007. "The airframe had flown 9,977 hours, completing 1,764 takeoffs and landings," it noted. "It was up to date on all maintenance, having just completed a major inspection in June 2010." One of 12 747-400Fs in UPS's fleet, the CF6-80C2B1F-powered aircraft had a payload capacity of nearly 258,000 lbs.

 

The US National Transportation Safety Board designated Senior Air Safety Investigator Bill English to lead a team of specialists to Dubai to assist GCAA with its inquiry. Included on the team are technical advisors from US FAA, Boeing, UPS, GE Aviation and the Independent Pilots Assn. union.

 

According to Flight Safety Foundation's Aviation Safety Network, the weather at the time of the accident was clear. Wind was at 6 knots, visibility was 8,000 m. and the ceiling was "unlimited."

Joku tutkija voisi tuosta lauseesta lukea jotta liian tiukka kurva liian isolla lastilla mutta jätetään se ammattilaisille, siitähän niille maksetaan.

Nyt on al kaida kehuskellut, että tämä onnettomuus olisi heidän tuotoksiaan...
