Here is a post about process execution using four aviation related incidents as examples. No harm was caused in three of those, but in the first one below, people lost lives. In essence flying a plane, and its operations on the ground are expected to be a streamlined process. But, given the fact that much of it is human dependent, the chances of error creeping in, always remain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us quickly check through the incidents to see what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incident 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The remains of the Air India Express Boeing 737 at Kozhikode<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first incident happened on Aug 7, 2020 to an Air India Express<\/a> aircraft flying back passengers on a Vande Bharat flight, from Dubai. The pilot landed on a wet and slippery runway, somewhere at the halfway mark, and ignored a “go around” call from the non-flying pilot. Later, attempted a go-around and failed. The aircraft broke in multiple parts, and killed 21 people including the flying crew. A similar incident had also occurred in Mangalore a few years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opposite (in terms of process and result) of this incident took place at Heathrow on Jan 31, 2022. The British Airways A321 attempted to land in strong crosswinds, bumped twice, aborted the landing and took off again. It did a go-around, and landed safely without incident the second time around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
