Manx2 Flight 7100 (NM7100/FLT400C) was a scheduled commercial flight from George Best Belfast City Airport in Belfast, Northern Ireland to Cork Airport in Cork, Republic of Ireland. On 10 February 2011, the Fairchild SA 227-BC Metro III aircraft flying the route with 10 passengers and 2 crew on board, crashed on its third attempt to land at Cork Airport, which was experiencing dense fog at the time. 6 people, including both pilots, died. 6 passengers survived, 4 receiving serious injuries, whilst 2 were described as walking wounded.〔(Cork plane crash: Two passengers emerge from air disaster unscathed ) ''Belfast Telegraph'' 11 February 2011.〕 It led to the closure of the airport for more than 24 hours and the diversion of all flights.〔("Ireland plane crash in heavy fog kills 6: Crash occurred during 3rd attempt to land at Cork Airport" ).〕〔 The final report was released on 28 January 2014, almost three years after the accident.〔(The Journal – Cork crash report released )〕 The report was sent to the families of those bereaved as well as the six survivors over a week prior to its release.〔(RTE News ~ Family's receive report )〕 The final report stated that the probable cause of the accident was loss of control during an attempted go-around below decision height in instrument meteorological conditions.〔 It noted that there was an inappropriate pairing of flight crews, inadequate command training and checking and inadequate oversight of the chartered operation by the operator and the operator's state as contributory factors in the accident.〔(BBC News – Cork Crash )〕 ==Aircraft and crew== The aircraft, written-off in the accident, was a Fairchild SA 227-BC Metro III, c/n BC-789B,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EC-ITP Accident description )〕 registration EC-ITP.〔 It was owned by a Spanish bank and leased to Líneas Aéreas de Andalucía, known as Air Lada based in Seville, Spain.〔 The aircraft was subleased to Flightline S.L. and was on the AOC of Flightline, which is based in Barcelona, also in Spain.〔 Tickets were sold by Manx2 which was based in the Isle of Man.〔 The aircraft was 19 years old at the time of the accident.〔 It had undergone a maintenance check in the week prior to the accident. The commander was 31-year-old Jordi Sola Lopez from Barcelona, Spain. The co-pilot was 27-year-old Andrew Cantle from Sunderland, England. Both were employed by Air Lada.〔 The commander had logged 1,800 total hours, of which 1,600 were on the Fairchild SA 227-BC Metro III. He held just 25 total hours in the command role on the aircraft. The co-pilot had logged 539 total hours, of which 289 were on the aircraft type. Their pairing together on the flight was considered inappropriate and highly unusual. Both pilots were certified for CAT I; neither pilot, however, was certified for CAT II.〔 The commander had undergone an upgrade on 2 February 2011; he subsequently flew 7 sectors under supervision and completed two line checks. His first flight in command of the aircraft took place on 6 February 2011, 4 days prior to the accident. The commander had flown into Cork 61 times; his logbooks never showed a diversion.〔 The first officer had joined another Spanish operator flying the Fairchild SA 227-BC Metro III for 270 hours before joining Air Lada. According to the logbooks, he subsequently flew with line commanders who were not instructors. He accumulated 19 hours with Air Lada but never completed a line check although required.〔 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「Manx2 Flight 7100」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
