The flap cover that came off the aircraft fell beyond the runway (right side) and fell on the airport security road = provided by Narita International Airport Company.
The company's survey was that the cover of the aircraft and the fixing metal fittings were damaged due to the fall of about 60 kg weighed from a large cargo aircraft from Nippon Freight Airlines that landed at Narita Airport in Chiba Prefecture in February. It turned out. Inspection of all eight aircraft operated by the same type, a minor scratch was found in the same place with another two aircraft. For the time being, we will respond by replacing parts, increase the frequency of inspection and confirm safety. In the future, it will be drastically renovated during a large regular maintenance work called heavy maintenance. [Saikazu Nakamura] When the company's cargo -only Boeing 747-8F type, which flew from Shanghai in China, landed at Narita Airport on February 11, the cover that covers the movable portion of the flaps called flaps fell. It was made of a plastic road of 4.4 meters long, 60 cm wide, and about 60 kg, and was found on the airport security road across the runway on the 12th. Approximately the model was instructed to renovate the damaged parts from the manufacturer Boeing. According to Japan Freight Airlines, renovation during heavy maintenance was required, saying, "Increase the strength because there is a possibility that a problem may occur." The heavy maintenance of the fallen aircraft in April 2023 was scheduled to be renovated. Heavy maintenance is performed once every two years, and it takes about one month to inspect at an outsourced overseas factories, and thorough maintenance work is performed. The company has operated a total of eight aircraft, and on February 12, all aircraft were visually inspected on February 12 with the fall of the cover, and no problems were confirmed. As a result of inspection in detail, such as removing parts again in mid -February, a minor scratch was found in the same area with two different aircraft from the fallen aircraft. For this reason, a total of three aircraft, including the fallen aircraft, operate with some flaps removed. There is no hindrance to the operation, and it will be installed as soon as the ordered part arrives. The company commented, "We apologize for the inconvenience and worries of local residents, including the local residents, and we will strive to prevent recurrence so as not to cause a similar falling case." At 9:02 pm on February 11, the aircraft landed on a runway (4000 meters long, 60 meters wide) and traveled on the ground. The cover covering the flaps in the lower left wing came off and was found on the airport security road in the landing band about 30 meters away from the western end of the runway A. Originally, the cover should not be there, and the cover fell and then rolled or flew about 50 meters. The flaps are deployed from the storage area when the aircraft lowers the altitude and begins to land. The area of the entire wing is expanded, maintaining lift, reducing the speed and landing. ◇ Mayor "An extraordinary big" In the past, there have been cases in the past, such as directly hit in private houses and cars, such as falling in a private house or driving car in the past, as shown in the separate table. According to Narita City, there are only one or two cases where parts and ice blocks that have fallen around Narita Airport are found on the ground outside the airport. According to a survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, there were 1005 reports at seven airports nationwide, including Narita and Haneda, that the parts were lost from the aircraft in 2020. There were many fasteners, stickers, panels, and cover, and weighed nearly 80 % for less than 10 grams, and 8 kilometers or more were eight. Narita Airport's large falling items were 30 kg in August 1996 and weighed 30 kg. It was found in paddy fields near Sakae -cho, a part dropped from a take -off Aero float Russian aircraft. There is a harsh voice from the local area about the falling part of this part. Mayor Kazunari Koizumi of Narita City said at a regular press conference on February 16, "Don't be there. I want you to promise strongly. Falling gives a lot of anxiety to the residents. It is expected that if you fall outside the airport, you will be very damaged. " At a regular press conference on the 24th, President Akihiko Tamura, President of Narita International Airport Company, said at a regular press conference on the 24th, saying, "I will shake my trust in aviation and take it heavy. The airport company was informed of the fall of the parts, and about one hour after landing, the airport company checked the runway A at 4:00 am on the 12th before the start of operation, about one hour after landing. I couldn't find it. It was found in a regular inspection around 10:55 am on the 12th, more than half a day. The airport company explains that "the operation of the runway did not hinder the operation of the runway" and explained that the lights did not reach at night or at the dark time before dawn, and will consider introducing high -sensitivity cameras in the future. ========= A panel weighed 3 kg from All Nippon Air Transport, found in a factory in Inashiki City, Ibaraki Prefecture A 4.3kg fuselage panel fell from the KLM Dutch aircraft aircraft and is running in Osaka city.
