Recent Boeing 777-222 accidents
The airplane’s encounter with an unanticipated localized region of moderate-to-severe turbulence while in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) associated with strong upper-level wind shear and convective cells. Contributing to the severity of the outcome was the failure of air traffic control to disseminate a recently reported moderate turbulence pilot weather report, which reduced the flight crew’s situational awareness and opportunity to prepare the cabin for the encounter.
An inadvertent encounter with clear air turbulence during cruise flight.
The airport’s continued use of taxiway Kilo, despite an identified risk of pilots repeatedly failing to stop at a hold short line prior to two intersecting runways. Contributing were 1) the operator’s moving map display, which omitted a published restriction on the use of taxiway Kilo for widebody airplanes, 2) the Captain’s resulting inadvertent continuance through the hold-short line, and 3) the FAA’s delayed action to remediate the airport’s legacy design, which did not conform with current airport design standards. .
The flight crew’s failure to manage the airplane’s vertical flightpath, airspeed, and pitch attitude following a miscommunication about the captain’s desired flap setting during the initial climb.
The fatigue failure of the right engine fan blade. Contributing to the fan blade failure was the inadequate inspection of the blades, which failed to identify low-level indications of cracking, and the insufficient frequency of the manufacturer’s inspection intervals, which permitted the low-level crack indications to propagate undetected and ultimately resulted in the fatigue failure. Contributing to the severity of the engine damage following the fan blade failure was the design and testing of the engine inlet, which failed to ensure that the inlet could adequately dissipate the energy of, and therefore limit further damage from, an in-flight fan blade out event. Contributing to the severity of the engine fire was the failure of the “K” flange following the fan blade out, which allowed hot ignition gases to enter the nacelle and imparted damage to several components that fed flammable fluids to the nacelle, which allowed the fire to propagate past the undercowl area and into the thrust reversers, where it could not be extinguished.
