E145, Bristol UK, 2017

Summary

On 22 December 2017, an Embraer 145 departed the side of the runway shortly after touching down at Bristol and finally stopped 120 metres from the runway edge. The Investigation found that the aircraft had landed after the emergency/parking brake had been inadvertently selected on during the approach when the intention had been to deploy the speed brakes. It was noted that the Captain designated as Pilot Flying had been new to both the aircraft type and the Operator and had been flying under supervision as part of the associated type conversion requirement for line training.

Description

On 22 December 2017, an Embraer 145 (G-CKAG) being operated by bmi Regional on a scheduled passenger flight from Frankfurt to Bristol left the side of the runway soon after touching down in fog off a daylight Cat II approach to runway 27 at destination. Damage to the aircraft was not significant and none of the occupants were injured so an emergency evacuation was not ordered. ATC, who in the absence of surface movement radar did not know where the aircraft was, were advised of the excursion by the crew who had shut down the engines and started the APU. RFFS vehicles reached the aircraft within 3 minutes and established direct communications with the crew on the designated frequency of 121.6 MHz.
