The Airbus A330 had been involved in 13 major aviation occurrences, including six confirmed hull-loss accidents and two hijackings, for a total of 339 fatalities. ==History== *On 30 June 1994, Airbus Industrie Flight 129, a testing an Airbus A330-321 crashed into the Toulouse-Blagnac Airport while undergoing a test to certify its takeoff capability with a single engine failure, killing 7 persons on board with no survivors. Airbus subsequently advised A330 operators to disconnect the autopilot and limit pitch attitude in the event of an engine failure at low speed.〔Learmount 1994, p. 4.〕 *On 15 March 2000, a Malaysia Airlines Airbus A330-300 suffered fuselage damage from leaked corrosive chemical that had been falsely labeled. The aircraft was written off. *On 25 May 2000, a Philippine Airlines Airbus A330-301 and operating Flight 812 was hijacked near Antipolo, Rizal, Philippines. all 278 passengers and 13 crew aboard survived. *On 13 October 2000, Sabena Flight 689, an A330 was hijacked during the ended with no casualties when Spanish police took control of the aircraft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2000 hijacking at the Aviation Safety Network )〕 *On 24 July 2001, two unoccupied SriLankan Airlines A330s were destroyed amid an attack on Bandaranaike International Airport, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.〔Fullbrook 2001, p. 10.〕 *On 24 August 2001, Air Transat Flight 236, an A330-200, developed a fuel leak over the Atlantic Ocean due to an incorrectly installed hydraulic part and was forced to glide for over 15 minutes to an emergency landing in the Azores.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Air Transat Flight 236 emergency landing )〕 *On 7 October 2008, Qantas Flight 72, an A330-300, suffered a rapid loss of altitude in two sudden uncommanded pitch-down manoeuvres while 150 km (81 nmi) from the Learmonth air base in northwestern Australia. After declaring an emergency, the crew landed the aircraft safely at Learmonth. It was later determined that the incident, which caused 106 injuries, 14 of them serious, was the result of a design flaw of the plane's Air Data Inertial Reference Unit and a limitation of the aircraft's flight computer software. *On 1 June 2009, Air France Flight 447, an A330-200 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris with 228 people on board, crashed in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of the islands of Fernando de Noronha, with no survivors. Malfunctioning pitot tubes provided an early focus for the investigation, as the aircraft involved had Thales-built "–AA" models known to record faulty airspeed data during icing conditions. In July 2009, Airbus advised A330 and A340 operators to replace Thales pitots with equivalents manufactured by Goodrich.〔 Investigators later determined that the inadequate response of the pilots to both a loss of airspeed data and subsequent autopilot disengagement resulted in Flight 447 entering into an aerodynamic stall. *On 25 December 2009, passengers and crew subdued a man who attempted to detonate explosives in his underwear on an A330-300 operating Northwest Airlines Flight 253. *On 12 May 2010, Afriqiyah Airways Flight 771, an A330-200, crashed on approach to Tripoli International Airport, Libya, on a flight from OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, South Africa. Of the 104 people on board, all but one nine-year-old Dutch boy died. The aftermath of the 2011 Libyan civil war hampered the accident investigation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of accidents and incidents involving the Airbus A330」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
