overshot runway meaning made in china

BEIJING (Reuters) - A passenger plane overshot a runway while landing at a new airport in northeast China late on Tuesday, bursting into flames and killing 42 people of 96 on board, the nation’s worst air disaster since 2004.

Another passenger plane overshot the runway during landing in a city in China but caused no casualties, just hours after an aircraft crashed killing 42 people and injuring 54, officials said.

The plane operated by Tianjin Airlines overshot the runway at the Wuyu International Airport in Nanning city in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Wednesday and slid on to the grassy patches. Several runway lights were broken but there were no reports of casualties or damages to the plane, officials said Thursday. (Watch: Dramatic air crashes)

The accident occurred just hours after an aircraft missed the runway and crashed to the ground in Yichun city in Heilongjiang province, killing 42 people and injuring 54.

China Airlines Flight 605 (callsign "Dynasty 605") was a daily non-stop flight departing from Taipei at 6:30 a.m. and arriving at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong at 7:00 a.m. local time. On November 4, 1993, the plane went off the runway while landing during a storm.Boeing 747-400.

Flight 605 touched down more than 2,100 feet (640 m) past the runway"s displaced threshold, at a speed of 150 knots (280 km/h; 170 mph), following an IGS runway 13 approach. Tropical Storm Ira was generating 20-knot (37 km/h; 23 mph) crosswinds on that runway, gusting to 38 knots (70 km/h; 44 mph), from a heading of 070 degrees.

The captain deliberately turned the plane to the left when he realized the plane would overrun the runway and hit the approach lighting system (ALS) for runway 31. That action caused a "ground loop", making the plane slide off the left side of the runway into Victoria Harbour. The plane came to rest in shallow water, with a heading of almost 180 degrees out from the direction of runway 13.

The plane was written off as a total hull loss. Since the plane"s vertical stabilizer interfered with the accuracy of the instrument landing system signals for runway 31 – which allowed aircraft to make safe ILS approaches whenever the wind patterns mandated the use of runway 31 (the reciprocal direction of runway 13) – the vertical stabilizer was removed with dynamite shortly after the crash.HAECO building for use in firefighting practice.

Summary: New Delhi [India], July 3 (ANI): In the wake of incidents of aircraft overshooting runways, Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday said such incidents happen sometimes due to excessive rains but everything is under control and there is no cause of concern.

A Korean Air jet with 173 people on board overshot the runway at Cebu International Airport in the Philippines late on Sunday, the airline said, adding that there were no injuries and all passengers had evacuated safely.

The Airbus A330 widebody flying from Seoul to Cebu had tried twice to land in poor weather before it overran the runway on the third attempt at 23:07 (15:07 GMT), Korean Air said in a statement on Monday.

The Cebu airport said on its Facebook page that it had temporarily closed the runway to allow for the removal of the plane, meaning all domestic and international flights were cancelled until further notice.

A Korean Air plane overshot a runway while landing at a central Philippines airport late Sunday (October 23) and caused a shutdown at one of the country"s busiest airports, the Associated Press reports.

The damaged plane remained stuck on Monday (October 24), causing dozens of flights to be canceled and Mactan-Cebu International Airport to shut down as the runway was deemed unusable.

Confusing runway instructions, an unexpected tailwind and crew fatigue were factors that contributed to a 2018 runway overshoot that destroyed a Boeing 747 cargo jet at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada says.

In an investigation report released Tuesday, the independent agency also cited insufficient braking on a wet runway, noting that the aircraft was wrecked as it slid down a grassy embankment 270 metres past the end of the runway. All three crew members received minor injuries, but the sole passenger -- a deadheading pilot -- was not injured.

The board"s investigation found that a confusing notice to pilots -- known as a Notice to Airmen or NOTAM -- led the crew to wrongly believe the longer of the two runways in Halifax -- Runway 23 -- was not available for landing. As a result, they planned to land on Runway 14, which is 2,347 metres long.

As the aircraft approached the runway in the dark just after 5 a.m., air traffic control failed to tell the crew about the availability of Runway 23, although an automated information system was broadcasting that information, the report said.

Less than 90 seconds before the jet crossed the threshold, the crew realized there was a tailwind to contend with, as well as a rain-slicked runway. Airplanes typically take off and land into the wind, which offers pilots more lift and, as a result, more control. But tailwind landings are possible within certain limits.

"Upon landing, a series of events prevented the aircraft from decelerating as expected and caused the aircraft to drift to the right of the runway," the report said.

The brakes were applied eight seconds after touchdown, but maximum braking effort did not occur until 15 seconds later, the report said. At that point, the 183,500-kilogram jumbo jet was about 240 metres from the end of the runway

The safety board also noted that the uneven terrain where the aircraft came to rest was beyond the runway"s 150-metre runway end safety area, which is designed to reduce the risk of damage to aircraft that land short of the runway or overshoot it.

The report said that in 2007, the board recommended Transport Canada require all runways longer than 1,800 metres to have a 300-metre runway end safety area or a means of stopping aircraft that provides an equivalent level of safety.
