With the approach of winter,
weather becomes a more
prominent factor in aviation
incidents and accidents. The
following reports offer timely
lessons regarding light aircraft
encounters with Instrument
Meteorological Conditions (IMC).
Were it not for the able assistance of Air Traffic
Controllers, the pilots who submitted these reports
might not have been around to share their lessons.
Slide Show
Lift Here to Deflate Ego
In his eagerness to help secure an exit door, this B757
First Officer seems to have confirmed the old adage, “No
good deed goes unpunished.”
■ While parked at the gate and before any passengers had
boarded, a flight attendant reported that she thought an
over-wing exit was not properly secured. I went back to
inspect the exit, and it did not appear to be sealed properly.
I then opened the over-wing exit to try to readjust the door.
The over-wing slide deployed. I had completely forgotten
about the slide deploying automatically. No one was
injured. Maintenance responded very quickly to begin
fixing my big blunder.... Moral of the story — don’t touch
anything; call maintenance; think before you act.
When in Doubt, Get a Fifth Opinion
Confusion with another model of their aircraft may have
been a factor in this First Officer and cabin crew’s
misconception about an over-wing escape slide.
■ During preflight inspection, I noticed a large amount of
clear ice on the aircraft surfaces.... I wanted to check the
upper wing surfaces for ice from an over-wing exit. Not
being able to see clearly through the emergency exit
window, I thought that opening the exit door would give
me a better view of the amount of ice on the wings. I
hesitated for a moment, questioning if the aircraft had
over-wing escape slides. I did not notice any placards on
the door with pictures of slides and their use in an
emergency. I then asked a flight attendant if this aircraft
had wing escape slides, and she said, “No.” I said, “Are you
sure?” She said, “Let me check with the other two flight
attendants.” They also indicated that the aircraft did not
have wing escape slides. I then opened the right wing
emergency exit door and the slide deployed.
Careless Catering
Lack of communication among ramp personnel can be a
recipe for disaster. Fortunately, no one was injured when
a catering crew delivered this chef ’s surprise.
■ .... The first officer was just about to call ramp control
for push clearance when the push crew called saying,
“There is a catering truck behind the aircraft.” Within a
few seconds, a flight attendant called saying that someone
had opened a rear door and the slide had partially
deployed. I immediately set the brakes.... I discovered that
the caterers had driven up to the aircraft without any
guidance and had opened door 2L while it was armed....
At no time was any crewmember on the aircraft made
Armed and Dangerous aware that catering was coming to the rear of the aircraft.
Just as every firearm should be treated as if it were
loaded and ready to fire, aircraft escape slides should
always be considered armed and dangerous until their
status can be positively verified. Several ASRS reports
from maintenance technicians offer some loaded lessons
on slide handling.
■ .... We were now able to arm the door slide, however,
when the slide armed, the yellow flag went behind the door
handle because we had previously removed the cover/
guide in our troubleshooting. At this point the job was
complete. We then attempted to put the cover/guide back
on, but were unable because the door handle has to be in
the up position to reinstall the cover. With the armed flag
out of sight, we did not realize that the door was armed
and lifted the handle to reinstall the cover/guide. The
slide deployed.
A review of the B767 maintenance manual showed that I
should have deactivated the slide bottle before performing
any maintenance on the slide.
■ The lavatory service valve was inoperative and it was
decided to service the center lavatories with a hose through
door 3R. I asked a flight attendant if the door was
disarmed and the flight attendant said, “Yes.” There was
no sign indicating the door status nor any “armed” or
“disarmed” flags. I pulled the handle and the slide
deployed. I learned the hard way that [B757-200] doors 3L
and 3R are always armed.
