joebrown Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) This a 'Nation' report. The BP says the aircraft slipped off the taxiway whilst preparing for take-off. Sounds like nothing to do with a skid or anything high speed, just bad driving which is seen everywhere in LOS.

webfact Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 THAI Airbus skids off runway in Khon KaenBANGKOK: -- Thai Airways International’s Airbus A330 with 246 passengers on board skidded off the runway in Khon Kaen while it was taxing to take off Monday night.The incident happened at 8:50 pm while Flight TG 047 was scheduled to leave Khon Kaen airport for Suvarnabhumi airport.It ran out the runway for about 10 metres with the front wheels buried in the soil.No passengers were hurt and all were evacuated out of the plane safely.THAI offered its passengers, who did not want to return to Bangkok right away, to stay at the Pullman Khon Kaen Hotel pending the clearing of the runway.All were transferred to Udon airport for flight back to Suvarnabhumi today.The airline has also apologized for the inconvenience.The accident prompted Nok Air’s Flight DD9820 from Bangkok to Khon Kaen last night to land at the Udon Thani airport instead as the THAI Airbus is still blocking part of the runway, making takeoff and landing impossible.The incident forced Khon Kaen airport to close the runway until further notice. All the 11 flights on the airport a day are diverted to Udon Thani airport instead.Nok Air’s passengers, who were scheduled to leave Khon Kaen for Bangkok at 8:50 pm last night, were transferred to Udon Thani to catch their flight there.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/thai-airbus-skids-runway-khon-kaen/ -- Thai PBS 2014-11-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginjag Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Was that the last flight from KK that night or was the landing of NOK going to be the last flight later ?? If so the airport would have been closed anyway for the night, enough time until the morning to tow the plane away. Closed until ???? problem with the topics is we rarely get follow ups for guidance.

hstamm Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 They can always blame the rain in that they slipped by the end of runway markers because the rain made it hard to see!

ratcatcher Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 <<skidded off the runway before it took off shortly after 8 pm Monday.>> So it took off after it skidded off the runway?

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) A more accurate description of this incident.http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=170957 Hard to know what's "more accurate". That report appears to be based on just The Nation article. Some of the news reports say the plane "skidded". Perhaps it just taxi'd off the runway. The usual Thai reporting vagary of wording/details. Kind of hard to know at this point. BTW, I saw one reference in one of the Thai aviation sites indicating that the Thai Air aircraft HS-TEF from last year's mishap incident at Suvarnabhumi has never been repaired or returned to service and is just stored at the airport. No accident investigation report that I can find, as yet, either. Anyone know if that is correct? http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Airbus/A330/066,HS-TEF-Thai-Airways-International.php http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/6062459 http://www.thai-aviation.net/files/Airlines/Thai_Airways_International.pdf Edited November 4, 2014 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdenner Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 A330 for KK to Bangkok ? HS-TEG is an A330-321 model! 240 odd passengers so I guess it's commercially viable ---- accept in this case! 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laobali Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 No statement from THAI other than an apology for the inconvenience? Not even the possibility of brake failure before the turn at the end of the runway? Anything to blame someone or something other than a Thai pilot? Amazing.

trogers Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Could have been hydroplaning of the wheels just before takeoff. Those accident stats are really impressive. Somebody has put in a lot of work there. Just wondering if the DCA publishes reports on these accidents? Tyres with worn treads not being replaced due to budget cut?

daveAustin Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 THAI Airbus skids off runway in Khon Kaen Perhaps a disgruntled Silom Road vendor decided to set up shop on that available patch of grass and the pilot fancied a quick pad thai before the off?

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Just wondering if the DCA publishes reports on these accidents? They supposedly do.... But seem to be hard to find, and not usually much publicized. And of course, typically come LONG LONG after the original incident has passed from most people's memory and attention. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee of Thailand Air Safety Division Department of Aviation At least in English, they don't appear to have a public web archive of their past reports, although copies of past reports for various mishaps do eventually tend to show up elsewhere on third-party sites. http://www.aviation.go.th/en/content/261.html Edited November 4, 2014 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangebrew Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Official report : reads as follow at 8:50 PM while taxiing down runway a Burmese riding water Buffalo While drink driving caused me to spill my leo on flight attendant who was showing me her boobies. Which cause erection in wrong direction. Which farang who built landing strip couldn't read Thai didn't have enough pavement in direction I was going, So after Boeing 's brakes failed I drove in to dirt to avoid hitting ghost. I then got out of plane made merit with ghost. And finish boom boom with flight attendant who turnout to be ladyboy. I paid customary bribe to BIB and did DNA test but results were Negative. But do have picture of me in Bangkok at school during this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
