The microlight aircraft was attempting to land at Mullingar Airfield which was waterlogged at the time. Following touchdown deep into the very short runway, braking action was poor due to the wet surface. The Pilot applied power to go-around but the aircraft came into contact with wire fencing at the departure end of the runway. The aircraft impacted heavily in a ditch a few metres beyond the runway’s end. The Pilot was seriously injured in the impact. |

The Pilot made the short 15 minute flight from his private airstrip at Corr Na Móna to a field at Bréandroim. The intended landing site consisted of an unprepared field with a significant uphill gradient. On landing, the nosewheel assembly failed and the aircraft pitched forward in soft ground and came to rest in an inverted position. The Pilot, who was uninjured, evacuated without delay from the overturned aircraft. |

G-JEDR, DeHavilland DHC-8-402, FlyBe Incident/Accident Date: 2012-06-05 Report No: 2012-019, Published: 2012-11-28 Image by: AAIU Report |

G-JEDR was cleared by Air Traffic Control (ATC) to back-track on Runway (RWY) 21 before turning around and lining up for take-off. A runway turn pad is located before the threshold of RWY 21 that facilitates a 180-degree turn by aeroplanes. The aircraft taxied onto the pad and turned right in order to make a left hand 180 degree turn. While doing so at a slow speed the right main wheel went off the pavement into an adjacent gravel strip. There were no injuries to crew or passengers and no apparent damage to the aircraft. |

G-OZBS & EI-DPT, Airbus A321-231 and Boeing 737-8AS, Monarch & Ryanair Incident/Accident Date: 2011-05-21 Report No: 2012-017, Published: 2012-10-24 Image by: Joost de Wit |

While a Boeing 737-800 was taking off on the active Runway (RWY) 16 at EIDW an Airbus A321 mistakenly taxied onto the latter part of the same runway. The Boeing 737-800, which had almost reached V1, immediately conducted a high-speed Rejected Take-Off (RTO) and stopped approximately 360 metres from the A321. There was no damage or injury.
As part of the on-going development of Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems at EIDW and subsequent to this Serious Incident, Advanced Surface Movements Guidance and Control System (ASMGCS) Level 2 was put into operation. In addition the associated Runway Incursion Monitoring and Conflict Alert System (RIMCAS) and Stop bar Violation Monitoring were implemented at EIDW in order to assist ATC in preventing a future occurrence of this nature. Additional procedures and a new runway incursion hot spot were also designated and published by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).

The Pilot was engaged in an aerobatic display as part of a local weekend festival at Foynes on the southern bank of the River Shannon. Approximately 4 minutes into the display routine, sections of fabric tore loose from the top surface of the upper left wing and across its centre section resulting in serious control difficulties for the Pilot. He carried out a successful forced landing to the best available field, with no additional damage to the aircraft. |

EI-ORD, Airbus A330-301, Aer Lingus Incident/Accident Date: 2010-05-11 Report No: 2012-015, Published: 2012-09-20 Image by: Derek Pedley |

The aircraft was cruising at 33,000 ft, when it encountered moderate turbulence. This turbulence resulted in a moderate un-commanded roll. While the autopilot was correcting this roll, the outer bracket supporting the outside servo-control of the RH inboard aileron failed, causing the RH inboard aileron to oscillate quickly from 14 degrees upwards deflection to 12 degrees downwards deflection and settling at an upwards deflection of the order of 15 degrees. This did not cause any control problems and the autopilot was able to continue to control the aircraft. The aircraft landed without difficulty at the intended destination, Chicago O’Hare (KORD). Subsequently a crack was detected in a corresponding bracket on the Left Hand (LH) wing. |

Unbeknown to the Pilot, the aircraft took off with the tow-bar still attached to the nose wheel. The aircraft subsequently landed with the tow-bar hanging from the nose wheel. The tow-bar disconnected from the aircraft during the landing roll, made contact with and damaged the propeller tips. There were no injuries. |

The Pilot of G-BIZV was taxiing his tail-wheeled aircraft in the ramp/hangar area following a short local flight. As the aircraft was about to pass behind an unoccupied parked X-AIR microlight (EI-DGG), a sudden gust of wind from the right swung G-BIZV into wind and its propeller struck the trailing edge of the microlights starboard aileron. There were no injuries.

While in cruise the aircrafts engine stopped due to fuel exhaustion. Although a second fuel tank that contained fuel was selected, engine restart was unsuccessful. A heavy forced landing in difficult terrain resulted with the aircraft being substantially damaged. There were no injuries.
