With the thrust reverser deployed, the airspeed declined at 2 kts per second.At 8:26:55 the stick shaker activated, warning of an impending stall. The aircraft was climbing at an angle of 10 degrees. 20 years ago today, TAM Transportes Aéreos Regionais Flight 402 (PT-MRK) was a scheduled domestic flight from Congonhas-São Paulo International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil to Recife International Airport in Recife via Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro. On 31 October 1996, at 8:27 (UTC-2), the starboard engine of the Fokker 100 operating the route reversed thrust while the aircraft was climbing away from the runway at Congonhas. TAM Airlines Flight 3054 (JJ 3054) was an Airbus A320 airliner, registration PR-MBK, operating as a scheduled domestic passenger flight between Porto Alegre and São Paulo, Brazil, which crashed upon landing during rain in São Paulo on July 17, 2007. Wind was given as 060 degrees.
The airspeed fell to 126 kts. Seven seconds later the aircraft impacted a building and crashed into a heavily populated neighbourhood in São Paulo.
The combination of the right engine at full thrust in reverse and the left engine still at normal forward take-off thrust caused the aircraft to roll violently to the right and descend into the ground.In the subsequent investigation it was discovered that the flight crew had not been trained for such an occurrence as the aircraft's manufacturer, The crash was featured in the 15th season of the television documentary series PT-MRK, the aircraft involved in the accident at the same airport on March 14, 1996, 7 months prior to the crash.Reproduction animation of TAM Linhas Aéreas Flight 402 At 8:26:48 the co-pilot announced that he had disengaged the autothrottles.
TAM Transportes Aéreos Regionais Flight 402 was a scheduled domestic flight from São Paulo–Congonhas International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil to Recife International Airport in Recife via Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro. The imbalance of power resulted in the aircraft rolling and veering to the right as it was climbing away from the runway. Ten seconds later double beep was heard. With the lever no longer restrained by the safety system, the co-pilot continued to hold the right throttle fully open. The combination of the right engine at full thrust in reverse and the left engine still at normal forward takeoff thrust, caused the aircraft to descend into the ground.http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3zs8um_air-crash-investigation-carnage-in-sao-paulo-s15e10_tvAIRLIVE.net is supported by a team of aviation enthusiasts.I LOVE PIK Prestwick Airport Premium Short-Sleeve Unisex T-ShirtI LOVE BHX Birmingham Airport Premium Short-Sleeve Unisex T-ShirtBuilding bricks blue 4 engines jet plane with vehicles and charactersVirgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 metal model aircraftAir France Concorde Pepsi livery metal model aircraft The co-pilot advanced both thrust levers, but they retarded again almost immediately, causing the power of the no.1 engine to drop to 1.328 EPR and engine no.2 to 1.133 EPR. At 8:25 TAM Flight 402 received clearance for takeoff from Runway 17R.
He then jammed the no.2 thrust lever fully forward again.
With the lever no longer restrained by the safety system, the copilot continued to hold the right throttle fully open. In fact the no.2 engine thrust reverser had deployed.The loss of power on the right side caused the plane to roll to the right. At that same moment, a shock was felt and the EPR of engine no.2 dropped from 1.69 to 1.34, indicating the loss of power.
The captain applied left rudder and left aileron to counteract the movement of the plane. The aircraft rolled to a 39 degree bank angle and the GPWS activated: “Don’t sink!”.
One second later the no.2 thrust lever retarded again and remained at idle for two seconds. One pilot pushed the thrust levers part way forward then engaged the autothrottle to complete the thrust setting process. The Fokker 100 was carrying 90 … Both engines now reached 1.724 EPR. With this information, he confirmed that the takeoff power had been adjusted and verified.At 8:26:19 the aircraft accelerated through 80 kts. The Captain was 35-year-old José Antonio Moreno, who had more than 9,000 hours of flight experience, including 3,000 hours on the Fokker 100.
Both crew members were preoccupied by the movement of the throttles and did not know that the thrust reverser on the no.2 engine had deployed.
