When the Air Canada passenger plane landed at the Hong Kong International Airport three years ago, the tail of the plane was damaged and no one was injured.
The investigation report issued by the Civil Aviation Accident Investigation Agency pointed out that the cause of the accident was directly caused by the pilot, which caused the aircraft to roll and vibrate. In addition, the aircraft’s high rate of descent led to an unstable approach and abnormal contact with the runway. Seven suggestions were made in this regard.

The incident involved Air Canada flight AC15, a Boeing 777-300ER airliner. When it landed at the airport on December 11, 2018, the tail of the aircraft rubbed against the ground of the runway, resulting in damage to the bottom of the tail. 393 people on board were not injured.
The investigation found that when the passenger plane was about 200 feet above the ground, the passenger plane exhibited lateral rolling oscillations, and when the passenger plane reached the runway, the fuselage was rolling left to right with a high rate of descent, causing the landing equipment on the right to touch the runway first, and the aircraft on the left. The body then grinds to the runway.
The accident caused serious damage to the lower fuselage of the passenger plane, and part of the internal structure was destroyed.
The pilot’s license in question met the requirements. The report pointed out that the pilot-induced vibration was rare. Although the pilot had completely reduced the training of the Boeing 777, he did not provide training for the pilot’s vigilance of the vibration caused by the pilot, and the pilot was unstable when landing. , But no request for re-flying was made.
The report made seven recommendations, including asking Air Canada to review its guidelines and optimize operations and training.
Experts advocate for airport employees to conduct daily inspections. The union calls for additional inspection stations to describe the difficulty of closed-loop management. The airport’s three-run project employees believe that they will receive illegal commissions from 5 workers and 27,000 prisoners. Cathay Pacific cargo planes fail to return to Hong Kong for 2 to 6 months. The speeding landing gear is damaged and paralyzed. A civil aircraft arriving at the airport in the past two hours is suspected of malfunctioning. Local fire protection at the airport. The airport minibus loses control and fires on the apron. 8 people were injured and sent to hospital.
