Now, videos from inside and outside the aircraft shows the Airbus repeatedly hitting a jet bridge with its left wing and engine causing plenty of damage. But fortunately, everyone inside were still able to disembark using air stairs with no reported injuries. So, what actually happened here? Well, it is possible for aircraft to back out of a parking spot by the use of engine reverse. This is known as power back, which a lot of internet experts guessed was the case here. But was it really? You see, aircraft with undermounted engines normally never do this since it means using the engines at relatively high power settings, which would then create an extremely high hazard for ground personnel and also increases the risk of foreign object damage or FOD. But pilots can of course use the reverse thrust near a stand if they have no other choice. And as it turns out, that's exactly what happened here. We've just learned that the pilots of this aircraft had a really busy day at the office even before the landing. They were still in the climb after departure when they started receiving fault and alert messages in their ecam screens which included navigational systems and their brakes. More faults then followed which the pilots dealt with by following the appropriate ECAM actions and they eventually landed safely on runway 18 left in Shanghai and slowed down normally. But as they taxied towards their gate, they suddenly lost all brakes, leaving reverse thrust as their only option. But the thing is though, using only reverses to stop an aircraft like this is very hard. After selecting reverse and spooling the engines up, if you then close the reverser suddenly, it will take some time for the engines to spool back down again, which means that they might now suddenly start producing loads of forward thrust instead before they reach idle. Now, this phenomenon is especially bad on large turbo fans like those on the Airbus A350. And there's also a delay between commanding the reverse doors to close and then actually closing, which likely explains why this aircraft ended up going back and forth several times before finally stopping. Now, this incident is still under investigation, so we will know more details about it soon. But I hope this answered some of your questions. And it is actually a great example of why it is a good idea to sometimes wait before commenting on likely causes because things are not always what they seem. --- *Источник: https://ekstraktznaniy.ru/video/52699*
