This is an indirect consequence of a closure of 9L/27R (construction) - the longest runway at the field which usually accommodates international widebody departures like DAL295. So the use of the north complex for these flights (8R/26L) is highly unusual. This was the very first day of the 9L/27R closure.

@@Nicolas_Rangel Makes sense when that A350 weighs about 600,000lbs; it was about to fly halfway around the world, so it would have been near its MTOW. Based on the wing damage, I also think the A350 hit the CRJ's vertical stabilizer, so that would have been maximum leverage on a near-perfect adjacent angle.

Let alone the fact that there’s no requirement how far you’re supposed to stop from the hold short line, a senior training captain once told me that you should always be stopping where you’re able to see the whole hold short line from the cockpit, that gives you enough room to clear and eliminate the risk of even an inch of your nose sticking out to the hold short line.

Damaged the NW heavy and the Q200 was out for months, but it did get repaired and returned to service a year later.

The crew lost situational awareness (didn't even know the CRJ900 was there, let alone a potential hazard) and they failed to maintain visual separation (struck the CRJ900). The NTSB may conclude the CRJ900 wasn't close enough to the Hold Short line, even though a lot of people are stating that there's no regulation about how close to the Hold Short line you have to be.

In the video it is quite obvious that the CRJ was stopped and not still taxiing. Maybe airbus needs to start making folding wingtips like the triple 7x. Perhaps there should be a ground TCAS or wingtip cameras so the pilots of big jets can see from the wing when they are closing in on something obstructing their path. Great report.

Generally, runway holding position markings also identify the boundary of the runway safety area (RSA) for aircraft exiting the runway. Runway holding position markings are shown in FIG 2-3-13 and FIG 2-3-16. When instructed by ATC, “Hold short of Runway XX,” the pilot MUST STOP so that no part of the aircraft extends beyond the runway holding position marking. When approaching runways at airports with an operating control tower, pilots must not cross the runway holding position marking without ATC clearance. Pilots approaching runways at airports without an operating control tower must ensure adequate separation from other aircraft, vehicles, and pedestrians prior to crossing the holding position markings.

But if you look at the inset photo of the A350 wing at 0:41 it looks to me that only the winglet is damaged by impact. The outboard slats don't seem to be damaged. Altough I guess the A350 wing and frame needs an inspection for hidden damages at the attachment point of the wing root to the frame also. But for chopping off the tail of the RJ the A350 seems to have remarkably little damage.

It doesn't look like either plane was in the wrong spot, they just shouldn't have been there at the same time. the exojet should have been cleared forward first

What kills me about this is why don't all planes have cameras or at least proximity warning devices in the wing tips to warn the pilots? We have them on cars and these planes are way more expensive to fix. This could have been completely avoided.

Why are there sirens for vehicles on the runway when everyone's communicating with radio chatter anyway? Not to mention the sound of airplane engines would wash out the sound of the sirens, and as displayed here, no one can communicate through radio chatter if sirens are blaring.

Question for insurance purposes about who is going to pay a hefty bill after this :) If DAL295 was in fact running perfectly on center line is this still it's fault? Are pilots expected to visually judge the taxi path considering their whole wingspan? I know there are no rules how much before the hold short line, you are supposed to stop.
@patheddles40042 ай бұрын
More general principle, I reckon - if you're operating an aircraft in a non-emergency situation and you hit a stationary object, then you done screwed up. Doesn't matter what the stationary object is or how much it shouldn't have been there - you ain't supposed to hit it. Same deal with driving a car honestly - traffic signals function a lot like ATC clearance in giving us permission to move in certain places, but ultimately as the driver you're responsible for not running into anything.

While you can argue that it might or might not make a difference in responsibility, the position shown for the CRJ in this video is incorrect - it was about 40 feet back from the hold short line, not right at the line as represented here. If it had been pulled forward to the line as represented above, there would have been no collision (the Blancolirio video on the topic is a good resource). Again, not talking about responsibility, just pointing out that this video shows the positions and scale incorrectly
@qbi46142 ай бұрын
Blancolirio is wrong. The A-350 was following Endeavor for 8R takeoff. They then requested a spot to stop and troubleshoot an issue and needed to be park. Ground gave them "short of Victor" and the tried to go past the CRJ instead of waiting.

@@qbi4614 you're not understanding. The position of the CRJ is visible in all the pictures from the incident, and discussed in the Blancolirio video. You can see that the CRJ is 40+ feet from the hold short line. Not sure what to tell you.

@@GearboxEnt doesn't matter, the A350 crew has to maintain clearances of other smaller aircraft, its THEIR responsibility as the "passing" aircraft the ensure they made sure they wouldnt strike the CRJ Knowing they were going past him into much smaller taxiway spaces.

@charlie7mason2 ай бұрын
As a layman, I wonder if it means they'll have to replace the whole wing because that might be easier depending on the materials involved, or if subsections of it can be replaced. I would imagine it can be replaced in sections, so they'll just have to test the rest of the wing for fatigue and stuff.
