    RE: KLM accident in Barcelona

    Hi Stamatis,

    While awaiting Jaap, I did a quick Google to see if there was anything on
    the web.

    http://www.b737.org.uk/accident_news.htm

    Quite a lot of photo's of it here
    http://myaviation.net/search/search....earch=ACCIDENT

    ACK-CHOO-ALLY, I did check out simpilot.net as they are the galactic
    authority on aviation, but no mention. Headline is "Malaria in Dominican
    Republic". I wonder if the World Health Organisation is aware?

    Steve

    Thanks Steve.
    But even the link says: "It remains unclear what caused the problem."

    RE: KLM accident in Barcelona

    Stamatis,

    Did you read the part starting,

    "An unverified source (on PPRuNe) gave the following information:"

    Dum-de-dum etc.


    Still not 'the' answer, but if you follow the links, it 'might' have been a
    bird strike damaging the nose gear. But I hate speculation, so will stop
    before I accuse myself of it

    Steve

    Re: KLM accident in Barcelona

    Stamatis,

    I haven't heard anything official, but the birdhit causing damage to
    the nosewheelstrut seems like a logical explanation.
    By coincidence we were on the way to Toulouse when we heard Maastricht
    ACC talk to the Barcelona flight, to tell them that the runway in
    Amsterdam was checked, and that only small fragments of bird were
    found. That's normal after an aircraft had a birdhit. Laughing the
    pilot replied that the biggest part of the bird must then still be on
    board.
    I can imagine that the bird (a buzzard) caused damage to the steering,
    maybe it was stuck in one position. At high speeds you have sufficient
    rudder force to keep the aircarft on the runway. Once the aircraft
    slows down...
    But it also could easily be that the bird had nothing to do with it.

    I was in Barcelona a week later, and saw the aircaft on jacks, like in
    the pictures. The damage seems minor, but I heard they're not sure if
    it's a total write off or not. Are you looking for cheap cockpit parts?


    Jaap

    In this case I could be looking for a cheap... B737-400!
