Ryanair incident bring about emergency response in Dublin

[no waiii]

soz if being posted xx

A Ryanair flight experienced trouble this morning at the Dublin Airport when the plane’s tail reportedly hit the runway as it attempted to take off. The aircraft was scheduled to fly to London, but the incident sent emergency units at the airport scrambling to respond to what could have turned into a serious accident. According to a BBC News report, the plane did end up talking off, but the impact meant that emergency masks descended throughout the cabin. The pilot also decided to land immediately in Dublin in order to assess if the plane had suffered any sort of damage during the incident.

The Republic of Ireland’s transport ministry officials have decided to launch an investigation into the accident, in order to determine precisely what transpired. One of the passengers on board the Ryanair flight told an Irish radio news program that he heard a large “bang” immediately after take-off.

Ryanair appears to have plagued similar small airport accidents over the course of the past several weeks. In late August, passengers aboard a Ryanair flight from Britain to Spain were frightened after the plane suddenly dropped 8,000 metres within a matter of minutes. Two weeks ago, another flight operated by the Irish discount carrier was forced to make an emergency landing in Rome.

When I went to Ireland recently, I went there and back with Ryanair and I was terrified because these incidents happen a lot with Ryanair recently. I don't think Ryanair will be here this time next year (with accidents and also the market).

When i last used Ryanair, The engines cut out a few minutes after takeoff while we were acending, and we felt the plane started decending

Its Ryanair we are talking about folks..

There are not too many causes of tail strikes.. in all cases its pilot error/air-frame testing.

Tail strikes are only caused by;

1. Pilot rotating too soon with not enough airspeed
2. Aircraft may be too heavy - running out of runway fast.
   
   

Afterall.. it is Ryanair :rolleyes:

i dont think they did...

and Sam, I may be wrong but I think the aircraft wouldn't rotate unless it had enough airspeed... could be wrong though

I'm sure that never happened to be honest.


Also, the plane would have to have enough airspeed to get off the ground.
