Schiphol ground shunt damages KLM 747 and 78713 February, 2019 · SOURCE: Flight Dashboard · BY: Niall O'Keeffe · London Two KLM widebodies have been involved in a minor ground collision at Amsterdam Schiphol airport. "During pushback two [aircraft] have accidentally made contact," Schiphol's operator states in a Twitter posting. It specifies the relevant flight numbers as KL601 and KL623. FlightGlobal schedules data identifies the respective destinations as Los Angeles and Atlanta, and the originally-assigned aircraft as a Boeing 747-400 (PH-BFV) and 787-9 (PH-BHA). There was "no further effect on scheduled flights", says Schiphol's operator, adding: "The cause will be investigated." Flight Fleets Analyzer lists KLM as the manager of the 747, which is owned by a Bermudan entity named Minots Light. The 787, meanwhile, is leased from AerCap. KLM confirms wing-tip damage and says both aircraft are "grounded for repair". It stresses that "the safety of the passengers has not been compromised at any moment", and that rebookings were made so that passengers could "continue their journey as quickly as possible". A passenger aboard the 747, identified as Lucas van Oostrum, has circulated a photo on social media which appears to show the jet's damaged starboard winglet, and another which indicates that the 787-9's horizontal stabiliser was involved in the collision.

The 747, performing flight KL601 to Los Angeles, was taxiing when the incident occurred. The 787 was on its way to operate KL623 to Atlanta. Both flights were subsequently cancelled.

It’s unlikely an investigation will be launched, however interviews with the pilots and/or ground crew and increased training are likely. https://samchui.com/2019/02/13/klm-boeing-747-and-787-dreamliner-collide-during-taxi/#.XGRg4DHsZPZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex 9A Guy Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The winglet should be a relatively easy fix but the horizontal stab and elevator on the B787 could a substantially more complicated repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Israeli leader's El Al 777 damaged during pushback 15 February, 2019 SOURCE: Flight Dashboard BY: David Kaminski-Morrow London One of El Al’s Boeing 777-200ERs, being used to transport Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been damaged in a ramp accident at Warsaw. The aircraft – a 17-year old Rolls-Royce Trent 800-powered twinjet, registered 4X-ECC – was being pushed from its parking stand at 01:15 on 15 February, says Warsaw airport’s operator. It states that Netanyahu was on board at the time. He had arrived in Warsaw on 13 February for a Middle East summit. Warsaw airport’s operator states that the accident damaged the aircraft’s nose-gear and fuselage skin. It has not detailed the reasons for the damage. None of those on board or on the ground was injured, and passengers disembarked safely, but the flight was subsequently cancelled. Poland’s air accident investigation authority PKBWL is probing the circumstances of the event. ElAl’s plane that was supposed to carry Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanjahu back to Tel Aviv was damaged at Warsaw Chopin Airport The Boeing 777-200 (reg. 4X-ECC) was damaged when the tug slammed against the nose gear when apparently the towbar snapped.

AAS Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 A Cathay Pacific aircraft was stuck at Tel Aviv Airport The plane was to operate flight CX676 from Tel Aviv Ben Gurion to Hong Kong. The Airbus A350-900 (reg. B-LRX) is stuck after the left main gear broke the asphalt during push back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key words are left bogey and partially locked up..... I see no skid/scuff marks from the right bogey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
