Kabul International Airport Reopens On A Limited Basis

Issue 25 _21.08.2021 _page 2-5

According to ch-aviation.com, both sides of the airport are now available after troops resecured the civilian side of the airport. Operators intending to land in the city must request permis-sion before landing, which is valid for 30 minutes from the issue.

IFR flights to Kabul are currently not possible as air traffic controllers aren’t available to direct flights. Instead, each flight must operate as a VFR flight at its own risk. Additionally, not aviation fuel is available at the airport, meaning that planes must land with enough fuel to depart again, a process known in the industry as tankering.

Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport has reopened on a

limited basis, according to reports. The civilian side of the

airport had been closed until further notice after it was

breached by desperate Afghanis seeking to escape the country

as the Taliban claimed control of the country’s capital this

weekend.

Shocking scenes have been coming out of Kabul International

Airport since late in the weekend. While a lone Turkish

Airlines flight made it in and out of Kabul Airport on Monday,

no commercial flights seem to have used the airport yesterday

until a Russian Airliner landed at the airport .

Kabul reopen?

It seems that both the Civilian and Military sides of Kabul Air-

port are now open to a limited extent, according to reporting

from ch-aviation.com, tied with flight data from

FlightRadar24.com. The military side had already been

available with several countries operating repatriation

flights for citizens.

According to ch-aviation.com, both sides of the airport are now

available after troops resecured the civilian side of the airport.

Operators intending to land in the city must request

permission before landing, which is valid for 30 minutes from

the issue.

An active period

Altogether, the A330 departing New-ark last week landed safely in Istanbul after a 100-minute delay. There are no reports of any injuries during the inci-dent.

Turkish Airlines had had a busy sum-mer in comparison to the downturn following the complications of the global health crisis. Last month, the carrier performed over 1,000 flights in a day for the first time since the pan-demic. It operated 1,253 flights a day between July 8th to 14th to reach 85% of its 2019 activity. The firm will undoubtedly be hoping to prevent any further incidents like what hap-pened last week from occurring again.

Simple Flying reached out to Turkish Airlines for comment on this inci-dent. We will update the article with any further announcements from the airline.

Transatlantic mission

The A330 was given clearance for takeoff from the airport’s

runway 22R at intersection with taxiway W. However, accord-

ing to The Aviation Herald, the wide body crossed runway 22R

and lined up with taxiway P to begin its takeoff. Subsequently,

staff in the control tower canceled the clearance and informed

the pilots that the plane was on taxiway P.

The flight crew then rejected takeoff at approximately 90 knots

(166 km/h) over ground before slowing down and turning right

onto taxiway E. The A330 then crossed 22R again before joining

taxiway B. Here, the crew was told to taxi to the holding point

on runway 11 by taxiway W.

The brakes had to cool down here for 45 minutes. After the

plane was ready to go again, it taxied along runway 11 before

lining up at 22R for it to finally depart an hour after the

rejection.

The aircraft

According to ch-aviation, Turkish Airlines holds 64 Airbus A330

family aircraft. These are split between 14 -200s, 10 -200Fs, and

40 -300s.

TC-JNI, the unit involved in last weekend’s incident, arrived at

the operator’s facilities on October 13th, 2010. The airline was

the first to take on the 10-year old deploying it to the likes of

Dubai, Stockholm. Kabul, Düsseldorf, Baku, and Boston, to

name a few destinations.

Turkish Airlines Airbus A330 Rejects Takeoff On Taxiway

Forgotten screwdriver tip leads to Jetstar Airways A320 incident on takeoff

However, as soon as both engines spooled up to the needed power, pi-lots noticed an unusual vibration which was followed by a “popping noise” in which volume was continu-ously increasing. In the meantime, the plane instantly deviated to the right of the runway centreline. To stop the diverged aircraft, the first officer pressed the left-hand rudder pedal in full but the move did not help, so the captain selected reverse thrust and the jet decreased the speed to 30 knots. When the thrust levels returned to idle, the suspicious vibration and sound stopped.

Meanwhile, the Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) system, which monitors and displays information over the engine and air-craft system malfunctions, displayed two error messages of engine No.2, alerting the flight crew about “STALL” and “EGT [Exhaust Gas Temperature, ed.] LIMIT EXCEEDANCE”.

Jetstar Airways A320 takeoff incident in 2020 was caused by a

forgotten screwdriver tip, left in the Airbus jet engine, Australi-

an investigators reveal in a report.

Jetstar Airways Airbus A320 jet flight crew had to abort the

takeoff due to engine power loss and low speed back in

October 2020. In a final report released on August 16, 2021, the

Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) confirmed the

initial conclusions of a crucial human factor error.

Suspicious engine vibrations and a “popping noise” on

takeoff

On October 23, 2020, Jetstar Airways Airbus A320-232 aircraft,

registered as VH-VFF, was supposed to operate a regular flight

between Brisbane (BNE) and Cairns (CNS), Queensland

Australia. There were 165 passengers and six crew members on

board.

Shortly after the push-back, the first officer taxied the aircraft

for takeoff on the dedicated runway 01L. Once the flight crew

received approval for a takeoff, they lined up the plane and set

a particular engine thrust level, which was counted based on

the VH-VFF weight, flap settings, and the runway length

available at the time.

Forgotten screwdriver tip leads to Jetstar Airways A320 incident on

A human factor leads to significant mechanical damage

As soon as all 165 passengers disembarked the plane, engineers inspected the plane and found small

balls of metallic debris in the tailpipe of the right-hand engine. According to the report, as the damage

was outside maintenance manual limits, the right-hand jet engine was removed and sent for a teardown

inspection, where engineers found a screwdriver tip in the high-pressure compressor (HPC) combustion

section, which had caused the HPC damage. In addition to the HPC damage, some of the rotor blades

and stators had also been minorly affected.

Small metallic debris and a screwdriver tip were found between the combustion liner and engine case.

The screwdriver tip was burnt and the tip eroded “due to heat and mechanical damage”, as written in

the report. Many engine components throughout the HPC matched the shape of the screwdriver

meaning that the item must have been in the engine for more than 100 flights.

The ATSB found that the tool bit had been left in the engine during regular maintenance, when the

engine was removed to lubricate the LPC Bleed Valve Mechanism.

“The ATSB concluded the tool bit had been left in the engine after maintenance and when the engine

was running, it entered the high-pressure compressor, leaving dents and nicks in numerous rotor blades

and stator vanes,” the ATSB Director Transport Safety Stuart Macleod was quoted in the report

explaining.
