An Emirates flight had to be abandoned recently after its take off from Melbourne went disasterously wrong when its weight was entered incorrectly in the flight computer.
A miscalculation of the necessary thrust needed to get the plane air-borne was the Australian Transport Safety Bureau's initial findings, which was a human error. The incident which happened on an Airbus a340 did not cause harm to any of the passengers but is still being investigated. Unfortunately a section of the flights data recorder was ripped off during the incident and was damaged, making the job of confirming the cause very difficult.
Three quarters of the runway had been covered by the time the plane had achieved full take off velocity. However, as the pilot tried to ease the plane into the air, the nose would not lift. The power to the engines was upped which raised the front end of the plane, but left the tail scrapping along the tarmac. Along will a huge noise, a great deal of damage was caused to the plane and the runway was left with massive scars. Numerous runway LEDs signs were wiped out and all the rear beacon lights on the plane were lost.When the captain managed to give full throttle, the plane lumbered into the air but it was too damaged to continue onwards.Before the plane could land again at the same airport, it was required for safety reasons to eject its fuel out at sea.
Modern planes are fitted with lots of different computer systems and have miles and miles of cable that can go wrong. However, director of aviation safety, Julian Walsh has stated that it seems human error was the primary cause. “Someone was not focusing when they entered the flight details and they were not double checked” Walsh said. He then condemned the bravery and quick-thinking of both pilots, both of which have now left their jobs
