(Aviation) The first A320Neo family writeoff

Unread post by David Collins »

Yesterday, A Latam A320Neo slammed into an airport fire truck at a high speed while taking off, killing two people, both in the fire truck

Reports are stating that the First Officer was just about to make the V1 callout as the aircraft impacted the truck, which would be give or take 130 knots for the 320Neo.

The impact caused the right engine to sheer off, the right main landing gear collapsed, and a large fire broke out. From the photos that I’ve seen, this aircraft is probably a write-off, and would be the first A320Neo family aircraft to be written off.
