Boeing 747-281B of Fars Air Qeshm (EP-FAB) damaged in Doha, Qatar

1. Cargo training seems sub standard by Qatar airways. Needs to improve training. Responsible person must be sacked/undergo for further training. Incidents and accidents must shown to their employees and discuss the root cause and search facts finding solutions.

2. Proper training required. Proper does not mean just Cargo Loading; rather familiarizing loading crew with C. G. location and C.G. shifting.

3. As an “old-timer”, I must ask only one (1) pertinent question:
   Why wasn’t the tailpost installed??
   I remember using a tailpost on B707 cargoes, DC10 cargoes, Dc8 cargoes, etc., etc.
   It, the tailpost, was ALWAYS the very first thing to install after engine shutdown.

   PS: I’m an FAA qualified A&P, ending my career in a maintenance manager position with a major US airline.

4. I have ramp handled many aircraft from
   B747 to A380 of many major airlines
   Since 2002 at Heathrow . Ramp operations
   Are common sense and your learn from
   Other accidents that learn from the grape
   Wine .. never start loading or unloading
   Cargo from the front cargo hold ., on B 777
   There is a horn sound that the aircraft is going to slip on its tail but I am not aware of it on the B747.. pole using is not even
   Needed if the cargo onload and offload is
   Done probably. Look I am not even a loadmaster always rule of thump is to
   Start from the front even you have a pallet and all nil fits at the front .
   I think there has been a terrible mistake by
   The ramp crew … quote of Imam ali (as)
   Learn from your mistakes and don’t
   Do them again …Salam and fimanallah
