Investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) have urged flight crew to familiarise themselves with the varying layouts of airports, especially those with unique designs, and ensure “effective flight crew coordination is employed”.
It made these comments at the release of the final investigation report of a Virgin Australia ATR 72-600 nearly taking off from the wrong runway at Canberra international airport.
The bureau also called on airlines to ensure that their operating procedures minimise the risk of human error, noting that the flight crew of the turboprop had only 90 seconds before taking off to complete all pre-departure checks, which led to divided attention between the pilot and the first officer.
