In Tokyo-Haneda airport, on 2 January 2024 at 17:47 (UTC+9), a Japan Airlines Airbus A350-900 plane registered JA13XJ caught fire on the runway after colliding with a Japanese Coast Guard De Havilland Dash 8 plane. The incident led to an explosion and flames engulfing the aircraft. It's believed the collision occurred as the plane was taxiing.

The Airbus A350, carrying 367 passengers and 12 crew members from Sapporo New Chitose airport on flight JL516, had its passengers and crew safely evacuated, four of them sustained injuries in the evacuation process. However, five members out of the six Coast Guard crew were reported missing and it is now confirmed they did not survive. Emergency services are working to control the fire, prompting the closure of all runways at the airport.

This event comes shortly after Japan grappled with a violent earthquake on January 1, adding to the country's challenges.

There are millions of camera's in the streets, why are there no HD nightview cameras at the start zone of the runways. Controllers would be able to see and control these zones as they were on the spot. Even a small region airport in my region has them installed. But not at an intl airpost (Haneda) like this ? Now, they are arguing about bad night visibility "with all those lights far away" ... is this still mid 60's ?

What worries me about AS1282 is the fact that this is a brand new aircraft, 2 months old...

Its better to fly"older"aircraft these days, new planes are not that safe anymore, too much hurry:quantity instead of quality!

[Luke777]

Radio interference and bad -communication is causing accidents, so why is aviation still the one and only using AM radio ? Amplitude Modulation is oldskool from 1924 and still is a weak and squeaky voice transmission mode. At busy intl airports, important messages are stepped upon ( 2 transmissions at the same time) and with many instructions and clearances, the readback is incomplete and misunderstood , due to unintelligibility. OK, a total swap of all AM radio's would be difficult, but why is there no digital backup for main clearances ? Maybe CPDLC - wise ?

United has found loose bolts around exit windows on some of its 737-MAX that have been grounded, following that incident. Quite scary!

Not really

Many aircraft suffered from problems when they were put into service, or a few years later. In some cases this led to disaster with deaths

There was the series of classic 737s and the problems with the elevator which led to several crashes (3 due to the rudder and 4 suspected) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_rudder_issues

Failures of the de-icing system on ATRs resulting in a crash in 1994 on an American Eagle ATR 72 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_ ... light_4184

Reverse problems on the B767s including the sad famous crash of the Lauda Air https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauda_Air_Flight_004

The A330 also experienced problems with hydraulics, the autopilot and the landing gear. https://goldenepaulettes.com/airbus-a330-common-issues Air Inter even had to ground its first A330 a few weeks after its delivery https://www.lesechos.fr/1994/01/air-int ... 330-875500(i can't transalte it)

Landing gear collapse on the Dash Q400 (ANA, SAS). Grounding. Moreover, SAS withdrew all its Q400s following these incidents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Bomb ... _incidents


For the DC10 (which was grounded) , once the problems were resolved there were never any accidents involving the engine mounts or the cargo doors. Despite a few other accidents, the plane became very safe. But with the arrival of the 767-300ER, A300-600R, in the 1980s and then in the 1990s the A330, the A340 and B777, there was little chance that the plane would sell well. And the arrival of the MD11 did not allow Douglas to catch up.

We could also add the 727 (https://aviation-safety.net/database/ty ... 7/database) and the 707 (https://aviation-safety.net/database/ty ... 7/database ) which had an enormously high accident rate during the first years of operation. The most of time: pilot errors or terrorist acts. But on a similar scale today, it would be chocking to see so many crashes for a single aircraft and the population would be shocked. But in the 60s, 70s and 80s few people flew and there was not yet the internet, Twitter and live feed TV channel. And with that we add a cognitive bias (to simplify information processing through a filter of personal experience and preferences, to say that before it was better, but not really in fact).
​

Etc....

Service bulletins are regularly sent to airlines on problems encountered several decades after the aircraft was put into service.

In the case of the 737Max, the MCAS concerns and the two crashes (Lion Air and the Ethiopian) have tarnished its reputation. Without that, the information would have would not be as publicized. Even if this only affects certain Max9s having a specific configuration. Boeing will once again have to struggle to reassure passengers, especially if at the end of the investigation we learn that Boeing was aware of this. We can also think that the subcontractor who manufactured this part hid the screw. We'll see

I just read United, Copa and some other major airlines grounded their Boeing 737 Max 9’s for extra inspection of the specific panel/emergency exit that caused the Alaska Airlines incident. But what about Ryanair and its Boeing 737 Max 8-200’s ? If not mistaking, they have this same extra emergency exit panel/door, haven’t they ? Will all these planes be inspected too ? According to Flightradar 24, they are still up in the air…

Ryanair’s 737s are not concerned, the inspection is for aircraft which have the emergency exit door removed and replaced by a plug.

A plane (PC12 belonging to EAPC) from Charleroi has crash-landed at Courchevel altiport.
