Atlanta: “Can we have a Beluga XL visit, too?”
interstellar-dust@reddit
First thing that went through my mind. Need new wing here comes a beluga. Depends on what kind of damage the 350 took.
crucible@reddit
Yes. It was just the timing of the incident that amused me.
ScottOld@reddit
Maybe that’s why one had a 7700, heard about this and had a breakdown lol
crucible@reddit
Yes, haha!
erdoca@reddit
İs totalling an aircraft normal? I saw pics of this but assumed it could be repair due to how clean it was removed.

Live ATC: https://archive.liveatc.net/katl/KATL-Gnd-0826-Sep-10-2024-1400Z.mp3
First starts 05:50 with the A350 asking for a place to stop to work out some issues.
Admiral_Cloudberg@reddit
the CRJ was cleared to hold short of runway 8R and contact tower, Delta 295 (the A350) was taxiing on Echo and was also told to contact the tower. However, before reaching the hold short queue, the Delta 295 pilot reported that they had a problem and they needed to leave the queue to work it out, and the controller cleared them to continue straight on Echo. A couple minutes later Delta 295 reports they hit something on the taxiway and asked what it was. Someone then cuts in and says "the whole tail of that CRJ's off." So it looks like Delta 295 was originally not meant to taxi past Hotel at all, they were going to turn onto it to line up behind the CRJ, and the CRJ crew also was probably not expecting an aicraft to taxi past their tail on Echo, and wouldn't have heard Delta being told to do so because they had already switched to the tower freq

SkyMilesEnthusiast@reddit
So in a scenario like this, who gets assigned the blame? Or just a case of bad luck?
Matthijs2203@reddit
nooone as in aviation there is a just culture and there is just gonna be an investigation looking at the causes and measures that can be taken
Hdjskdjkd82@reddit
In aviation no one really gets blamed. The blame is shared across with everyone really. NTSB find the probable cause and contributing factors. And all persons involved go to retraining, and policy/procedure changes are made so this hopefully doesn’t happen again.
WorldlyOriginal@reddit
You’re right from an AVIATION perspective but not from a legal/economic perspective.
It’s wonderful that the aviation community looks for fault rather than blame, but the courts and companies and passengers and lawyers in this mess will definitely be looking for BLAME, and some will definitely be found
Hdjskdjkd82@reddit
Well the blame here would come down to Delta Air Lines as a company, the FAA, and manufacturers. In the US system individuals are more or less protected unless the individual themselves breaks a federal law. Violation of regulations is not considered breaking federal law.
SoulOfTheDragon@reddit
There is no "bad luck" when it comes to investigations of this kind of situation. Usually it will be a result of long list of factors that at the end resulted in the accident. Look up swiss cheese model.
Who was the largets contributing factor? Let the investigation to figure it out.
SharkAttackOmNom@reddit
If it’s anything like the nuclear industry it will boil down to “Human performance” issue. Aka, the guy controlling the 350 effed up.
Puzzleheaded-Park125@reddit
There is always some fault in an accident like you said. I’ve investigated thousands and every time someone could have done something different unless it was a product malfunction (and even then it was the manufacturer’s fault).
skapuntz@reddit
it's a sum of many factors, but pilots of the a350 have the responsibility of checking if the path is clear
Admiral_Cloudberg@reddit
As others have pointed out, in theory the A350 first officer should be checking that the right wing is clear. Evidently that either didn't happen or the clearance was misjudged. If they were working though a problem, it's possible that there were distractions in play, but that's speculation. We don't know whether they checked or not.
IchBinMalade@reddit
I always wonder why not some proximity sensors or even a shitty camera for taxiing.
I get that it's all about benefits/costs, these things happen so rarely, and these planes are so complex that fitting a new system like that costs a lot more than you'd expect, plus certification and training yadda yadda.
Nevermind, I guess I answered my own question. Also damn, just noticed I'm replying to Admiral Cloudberg, 👋🏻 hello.
wolfydude12@reddit
I believe some heavy airliners have cameras on their wings/tails. I know when the PMDG 777 came out for Microsoft flight simulator some of the actual pilots mentioned the lack of the cameras, which are used mostly for taxiing.
A quick Google search looks like there are 2 different camera systems are offered for the A350. I'm nearly sure these are optional and not on every plane.
smcsherry@reddit
Eh not quite. Listening to the audio, DL5526, in the transmission at 04:28 Endeavor 5526 (the CRJ-900) was told to monitor tower after being told to taxi to 8R via Echo.
Admiral_Cloudberg@reddit
Echo doesn't intersect with 8R you have to turn onto Hotel, that's where the hold short line is.
smcsherry@reddit
Correct, I’m sure the turn onto hotel was implied by the taxi to 8R via Echo call. I was more referring to that Endeavor 5526 should’ve been on ground still as I didn’t hear a frequency change call by ground, just a monitor tower call.
MiaStirCrazies@reddit
Listen to Tower (119.1) after that call. They told EDV5526 to hold short of 8R. DL295 remained on 121.9 as they were handling the unrelated situation and being taxied to the end of Echo near Victor.
wikipedianredditor@reddit
Neither am I but clearly this was a ground crash
the_other_paul@reddit
In case anyone is having trouble visualizing the collision, taxiway Hotel is perpendicular to that runway at the very end of it, while taxiway Echo is parallel to the runway (perpendicular to Hotel)
osup13@reddit
I think this happened on the ground.
FOSSnaught@reddit
Any idea who was at fault? It kind of sounds like the plane that got clipped wasn't where it should have been.
KinksAreForKeds@reddit
It doesn't sound like that at all, to me. The CRJ was told to hold short. I've never captained a taxi at ATL, but it seems to me like they were exactly where they were told to be, on hotel, holding short of 8R, until they received additional instructions from tower.
It was just unfortunate that Delta had to clear the queue. Even if though the CRJ was where it was supposed to be, there just isn't enough clearance off the centerline of echo for a 350's wingspan to clear an aircraft in that position. But ultimately, it's still Delta's First Officer's responsibility to spot that the right side is clear while taxiing, even if other aircraft are out of position.
quesoandcats@reddit
Yeah if what you said is true and both planes were where they were supposed to be, then this seems like an issue with the design of the taxiway. If the A350 crew was following instructions and can't see the wingtip from the cockpit, then I don't see what they could have reasonably done to avoid the accident.
abl0ck0fch33s3@reddit
They could have stopped and asked ground/Tower for more room behind the CRJ, as regularly happens at busy fields. At the end of the day it's on the crew taxiing to ensure they have sufficient clearance and if they are uncomfortable with the distance to obstacles they absolutely have the authority to hold position until a reasonable clearance can be assured for safety
LookoutBel0w@reddit
Nothing matters other than the fact that the a350 hit the crj. It’s the FO’s job to verify clear of the aircraft on the right side.
SkyMilesEnthusiast@reddit
Did the A350 say they were off centerline? That could be the reason too. He says it around 7:30
N314ER@reddit
He definitely said “on”….not sure why he would announce being off centerline.
gham89@reddit
I thought he said "on centerline".
SkyMilesEnthusiast@reddit
Yeah I couldn't tell if he said on or off
FOSSnaught@reddit
I heard on for what it's worth.
KentuckyCatMan@reddit
Sounds like he said
wowpeterhkg@reddit
Only problem is that on the A350, you can’t see the wingtip from the cockpit (nor can you see it via the cockpit tail cam). So the only thing the pilot can rely on is to stay on the centerline and that the other aircraft are where they are supposed to be and behind their own line.
QuirkyForker@reddit
What?! That’s totally nuts. Design flaw
Temporary-Fix9578@reddit
Can you even see the wingtip from the cockpit of an A350? I can tell you in the CRJ it’s not easy
bviecelli@reddit
Is the radio always chaotic like that? Even if I would know the flying language I would have a hard time understanding everything. Too much cross talk 😅
doorbell2021@reddit
Completely normal. I'm just a piston pilot, but looking at the taxiway diagram I could readily follow what was happening.

I don't know about "totaled" but it certainly damaged it pretty good! If it was a -200 I'd say they'd write it off for sure, but a -900 might be worth fixing, depending on how old and beat up it is.

"Endeavor" is another word for "effort", "struggle" or "work".
"Endeavor Air" is also the name of the airline whose CRJ's tail got clipped.

PunkAssBitch2000@reddit
Aaah I see what you did there!!
jar1967@reddit
It is going to depend on how much structural damage was done to the fuselage. It's the tale held on for a tiny bit, the airframe is going to be deformed and not wort repairing. The aircraft will then become property of the insurance company who will immediately strip it of every usable part to be sold for spares to recover some of their loss. Parts of that aircraft could still be flying twenty years from now
madshanker132@reddit
Very true if the fuselage around it isn't damaged they could possibly get a new v-stab assembly installed. It look like it broke above the fuselage. They just remove the remaining section and get a new one. Insurance and possible Warranty might be possible.
RaptorFire22@reddit
Are the vertical stabs part of the body on these? I know on fighters the tails have a mounting structure on the body but can be removed and replaced.
madshanker132@reddit
It should be a mounting structure, I think they all use it. Massive ease of fabrication, transportation, and installation.
chasepsu@reddit
Per Airframer, Aernnova Aerospace makes the empennage, while Mitsubishi makes the aft fuselage, so it's almost certainly a mounting structure that Bombardier combines at final assembly.
madshanker132@reddit
Well not anymore the crj plant is owned by airbus building a220s now they also have a flight test center there. Mitsubishi owns it now but haven't started a new production line that I'm aware of
chasepsu@reddit
Oh good point. But either way, the empennage and the fuselage are not a single piece, so depending upon the structural damage (if any) to the fuselage, it's possible that they could just replace the empennage. (It does appear that it's resting on the left engine cowling too, so that'll probably need a teardown and full inspection)
mck1117@reddit
The engines are at least supposed to come off, so not a huge deal there
madshanker132@reddit
And more then likely it would just be a cowling replacement not an entire engine
madshanker132@reddit
Maybe not it looks like the hstab is toughing the ground and looking at the crj side view it might not be. The very forward tip of the vstab base is barely reaching the engine exhaust and the break looks clean to one side. But it could just be the perspective of the photo. But it's going to be a maintenance crew nightmare and an apprentice wet dream to work on😂
oddsix@reddit
It's a "limited" lifetime warranty, that may come into play here.
madshanker132@reddit
Well let delta pray that it's still in the limited time and if not oh well. Either insurance or scrapping
Zintoatree@reddit
First, they'll need to speed tape that stab back on so they can ferry it to Macon.

this is a total tangent but several years ago a friend of mine used to do Spanish to English translation for an insurance company. he said that the amount of accidents that happened in parking lots was ridiculous, easily the majority of what he translated, people just not paying attention, doing WHATever!, because they think they're safe because they're off the road..

CaptainStankyFarts@reddit
I don't think it was actually struck. It was probably just startled by the A350. Like several species of lizards, the CRJ is capable of what's known as autonomy where it sheds the tail to distract the larger predator. Don't worry, it'll grow back and be back in the air in no time.

Appearing too. I worked at KMHT years ago for a regional, Precision Airlines. One of my extra jobs there was loading and unloading the flying tigers plane with cargo. I don't recall exactly what they flew in and out, but one of the planes that regularly came in had it's tail ripped off just like this CRJ. I didn't believe the A&P when he first told me, but he showed me a newspaper article from the accident and how they were able to scavenge an empennage out of Thailand to fix it.
