Investigators believe a software anomaly in an EasyJet Airbus A319s electronic flightbag might have resulted in its crews using take-off performance data for the wrong runway at Belfast.The crew had opted to depart from intersection B to runway 25 for a service to London Luton on 25 June last year.As a precaution the capta
stanley cup in had used the electronic flightbag to calculate take-off data for a wet runway.When the pilots reviewed the data, they changed the runway condition to dry, to see whether this would enable a lower-thrust take-off.Although the new calculation did provide for a reduced thrust setting, the crew had not
tappo stanley cross-checked the data on which the calculation was based. The new take-off data assumed that the much longer runway 07 was being used.Analysis by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch found that the runway selection could unintentionally be changed while amending one variable 鈥?in this case, the runway condition 鈥?using the flightbag touchscreen.The inquiry could not determine the specific circumstances of the change. But it states
stanley cup : The risk associated with using touchscreen input devices, which are on all the time, is that any inadvertent touch of the screen by a conductive source may change a field on the screen. Although the aircrafts take-off acceleration was only marginally slower, its calculated rotation speed was 135kt 鈥?some 10kt higher than it ought to have been.At 115kt the captain noticed the end of the runway approaching and realised that the Bjvw 鈥婥ongress puts confidence in new A-10 wings

Eventually he returned to his home city, where he would become mayor before winning his first election for national office. Appointed to the House Judiciary Committee, he made headlines, two years later, as one of seven Republicancommittee members who voted to support a resolution of impeachment against the president. A true act of political courage, by bucking party loyalists, Cohen jeopardized his electoral future to do what he thought was in the best interest of the country. In his words, at the time: I have been faced with the terrible responsibility of assessing the conduct of a president that I voted for and believed to be the best man to lead this country. 鈥?But a pres
