Occurrence Date/Time | 15 July 2018 |
Aircraft Type | A220 (=Bombardier CS300) |
Flight / Operator | N/A |
POB | 46 occupants |
Description | The pilots had been distracted by an unexpected discontinuity in the flight plan after entering the standard departure route into the flight-management system (FMS)
Then, the captain asked the first officer to maintain a close watch on the FMS during the take-off roll. Neither pilot could remember whether they had carried out the 80kt speed and engine thrust check. While the captain briefly considered aborting the take-off, he instead opted to proceed. |
Result | the A220 lifted off about 1,000m (3,280ft) from the end of the runway – the aircraft had travelled 50% more than the calculated take-off distance.
None of the any occupants was injured |
