IndiGo Flight Tailstrike Leaves Huge Dent During Take-Off, Plane Returns To Airport

Published by Webster

The IndiGo aircraft involved in the tailstrike incident in Bengaluru New Delhi: An IndiGo aircraft suffered damage in the tail section after it hit the runway while taking off from Delhi airport, sources said. The IndiGo flight No. 6E 6054 was scheduled to fly to Bengaluru when the incident happened on September 9, sources said. Visuals of the damage to the tail section show several white dents on the blue paint of the aircraft skin, indicating a serious tailstrike. A tailstrike happens when the tail of an aircraft touches the runway during takeoff or landing. This can be dangerous as it can lead to structural damage, especially to the rear pressure bulkhead, the cone-shaped area in an aircraft’s tail that seals the pressurised cabin. The pilot immediately informed the air traffic controller (ATC) about the matter, after which the ATC gave clearance to land. The aircraft landed safely, sources said. No one was injured. The regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Delhi airport authorities are investigating the incident, sources said. The DGCA …

Slippery take-off board: An issue Indian jumper Murali Sreeshankar had flagged; World Athletics says ‘extensive research’ is on | Sport-others News

Published by Webster

Following complaints from long jumpers about the take-off board causing them to slip, World Athletics said ‘extensive research’ is ongoing and they are talking to manufacturers and other key stakeholders. Last week, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games silver medalist Murali Sreeshankar had said a more pressing issue World Athletics must address is the slithery take-off board that could cause injuries. Sreeshankar was responding to a proposed plan of World Athletics to use a larger take-off zone instead of a take-off board to reduce fouls in long jump. When asked about jumpers slipping on the take-off board, a World Athletics spokesperson in an email reply said: “Yes, World Athletics began doing extensive research into this issue following feedback from athletes and we are currently discussing our initial findings with take-off board manufacturers and other key stakeholders. This research is ongoing.” Sreeshankar had cited examples of Jamaica’s Carey McLeod and compatriot Jeswin Aldrin losing their footing on the take-off board during last year’s World Championships in Budapest. France’s Jules Pommery, the third-placed finisher at the European Championships, …

Why long jumper Murali Sreeshankar isn’t in favour of proposed plan for a take-off zone instead of take-off board | Sport-others News

Published by Webster

World Athletics trying out a take-off zone in place of the existing take-off board aimed at reducing fouls in long jump will kill the beauty of the sport and finish off its novelty, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games silver medallist Murali Sreeshankar said. The purpose of the take off zone is to reduce the time wasted because of jumpers overstepping, World Athletics CEO Jon Ridgeon had said earlier this week. “At the World Championships in Budapest last summer, a third of all the jumps were no-jumps, athletes stepping over the front of the take-off board,” Ridgeon said on the Anything But Footy podcast. “That doesn’t work, that’s a waste of time. So we’re testing, for example, a take-off zone rather than a take-off board, so we measure from where the athlete takes off to where they land in the pit. That means every single jump counts…” Ridgeon said. Though the take off-zone would be an advantage to jumpers because they don’t have to worry about a foul as they now don’t have to get as …
