Interim statement ‘Take-off with erroneous data, Embraer E195-2, Berlin Brandenburg Airport'
- General
This interim statement provides an update on the investigation by the Dutch Safety Board into a serious incident involving a Embraer E195-2 at Berlin Brandenburg Airport on 12 September 2021.
During take-off from runway 25R of Berlin Airport, the aircraft departed from another position than the crew had entered into the aircraft system. Consequently, the available runway length was 1,320 metres less than calculated. The aircraft took off at the very end of the runway. Because the aircraft is Dutch registered, the German Safety Investigation Authority BFU delegated the investigation to the Dutch Safety Board.
The investigation is exploring the following aspects: learning for the purpose of preventing takeoff performance incidents, takeoff procedures, use and design of the EFB.
The final report of the investigation will be published in due course.
