CRJ2/ATP, Stockholm Sweden, 2011

CRJ2/ATP, Stockholm Sweden, 2011

Summary

On 21 January 2011, a Belarusian Bombardier CRJ200 failed to fly the prescribed missed approach procedure at night in IMC and when ATC observed a developing conflict with another aircraft which had just departed another runway with a conflicting clearance, both aircraft were given heading instructions to mitigate the proximity risk. The resulting CPA was 1.8nm at an altitude of 1600 feet. The subsequent investigation attributed the pilot error to a change of aircraft control in the flare when it became apparent that a safe landing was not assured.

Description

On 21 January 2011, a Bombardier CRJ200 being operated by Belarusian AL on a scheduled passenger flight from Minsk to Stockholm carried out a missed approach from runway 26 at destination at night in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) from a low height. After failing to follow the prescribed missed approach track, it came into proximity in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) with a BAe ATP being operated by Swedish airline Nextjet on a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Stockholm to Lycksele which had just departed from runway 19R. No abrupt manoeuvres resulted and none of the respective 36 and 26 occupants of the two aircraft were injured.

Investigation

An Investigation was carried out by the Swedish AIA. The tracks followed by the two aircraft are shown on the diagram below reproduced from the Official Report. It can be seen that the extended centreline of runway 26 passes over runway 19R.
