Does that not indicate poor training or lack of training??
IMO it can often be traced to cultural issues, principally differences in east versus west attitudes. For example landing accidents tend to be far more common in certain parts of the world due to a go around signifying failure in some cultures!

reminds of a recent incident with one of Air India’s A320s…. soon after take off the oxygen masks came down.
Passengers obviously thought they were in trouble but the aircraft smoothly made its way to its destination Mumbai. Apparently the pilots didnt even know the masks had come down. :rolleyes:

A343 does not have tailstrike ECAM indication like the A346 however the crew were notified by ATC yet still decided to pressurise and fly for 10 or 11 hours! Madness.

Yes a return without pressurising is essential to check for damage to the pressure hull. However a Chinese A343 had a tailstrike at LHR a year or so ago and then promptly flew the whole way home. 😮

Whats procedure when this happens on take off? Immediate return ?
One would think that would be the case to check for damage to the fuselage..maybe wysiwyg can answer that one!

Sorry Steve but ModelJets is quite right. We had an A346 suffer a tailstrike in HKG about a year ago in these conditions on take off.

Or wind shear…….
Wind shear is a microburst that mainly effects landing aircraft

I can’t remember what the report said (and can’t find it again) but there was a mention of incorrect loading. Why are some people so quick to blame the pilots, again and again in incidents?
Anyone have a link to the report?

Excuse my naivety, but why would this happen? pilot error?
