By David Kaminski-Morrow2021-03-04T13:33:00+00:00 Swedish freighter operator West Atlantic has reinforced crosswind training after investigators attributed a significant British Aerospace ATP excursion at Birmingham airport to inexperience and incorrect technique. Although the ATP, arriving from Guernsey on 22 May last year, carried out an initial crabbed approach to runway 33 in windy conditions, the crew did not discuss the “challenging” situation, says the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch. Just before touchdown the first officer, who was flying, called for a go-around. But the captain – possibly having not heard – instead called for the first officer to land the aircraft. The first officer closed the throttle levers he had started to open for the go-around and the ATP touched down with its nose 20° nose left of the runway direction, without sufficient corrective rudder input.
