- A Ryanair Boeing 737 reportedly rolled forwards uncommanded while on the stand at Bristol Airport. The incident appeared to have involved the aircraft registered EI-EFJ, a nearly 14-year-old aircraft that was scheduled to fly to Palma de Mallorca. Passenger reports on Twitter suggest that the aircraft's doors were open and the stairs deployed while the aircraft moved. Let’s look at what happened in today’s video!

EI-ENJ was one of the first aircraft I worked on. Happy to see it still in daily service regardless of minor incidents such as this.
It has nothing to do with Ryanair. Just a simple mistake by the rampies.
I believe the airport spokesperson. Sounds like the rampers made a mistake by removing the chocks before hooking up the tug, but I doubt it rolled 10 bloody meters back.
Yep, that's what I was going to say too
I didn't know that RyanAir parked long enough to require parking breaks.
I was on this plane today (from bristol), on row 1, and had a good view of them operating the doors and stairway (it retracts back into the aircraft, under the door). The Ryanair staff and the swissport staff (outside) were really friendly and extremely professional
Parking brake being released once the chocks are in place for brake cooling purposes is entirely normal procedure. The ground crew made a mistake here, the aircraft would have moved less than 30cm maximum.
I have two questions:
1. Was the parking brake not set?
2. Is it routine and/or procedure to remove the chocks on the tires before hooking up the tug?
Could be like one of the pilots accidentally might have pressed on the brakes hard enough to disengage parking brake
@@greenesyt563 Maybe. While this could be a mechanical issue, it sounds like there's a human component to this.
It is common to remove the parking brake once chocks are set in order to improve the brakes cooling during turnarounds
1. Sometimes they leave the parking brake off for cooling purposes, sometimes they forget, and sometimes they release them well before push to get the on-time departure.
2. Absolutely not. Those chocks should be on the plane until the tug is hooked up, all GSE is pulled away from the aircraft, and someone is in the tug. The third part could vary from airline to airline.
@@greenesyt563 I don't think that's how the 737's parking brake works.
Ngl walking down the stairs from an airplane makes me feel like a famous figure 😂
The eror/accident is very minor ain't worth mentioning
Some airlines release the parking brake after chocks are installed to aid in brake cooling after landing. Chocks absolutely should not have been removed without confirming with cockpit crew that brakes are set
If the footage of the people boarding is any indication of the stairs used for this particular flight it seems to be a non issue. The stairs do not appear to be secured to the tarmac and therefore if the plane moves they would not drag. It appears they would just hover above the ground by a few inches/centimeters. Not to mention that the plane went on its way with no damage.
As the video stated, it sounds like the groundcrew got out of sequence, hook up the tug then remove the chocks. Simple mistake and thankfully no one was hurt and nothing was damaged, a good wake up call for the groundcrew to pay more attention
Can go both ways. Where they under unfair pressure to to turn it around in an unrealistic time?
Meanwhile over at Aerosucre: Miguel, look at this video! Ryanair are upgrading by using stairs for loading/unloading passengers! Rookies, send them our video of how we use free wood pallets for this, they will thank us for saving them money!
and they can charge passengers for every pallet needed
@@MarkUKInsects $5 usd a pallet, that's how much recycled pallets go for
Meanwhile, Aerosucre does the same thing, but at 528mph and no one even notices.
United Airlines had these stair units installed on their original 737-200 aircraft. The airline eventually removed the stairs because they were often the cause for maintenance delays and to save weight. It was ultimately cheaper to ship air stair trucks and portable air stairs to destinations served by the airline. As shown in this video, the airport already has a belt loader. Probably more than one, along with other ground equipment. Why not use a stair truck rather than the clunky onboard unit that’s heavy and unreliable?
Delays getting the stairs to the plane. Ryanair is famous for being the cheapest and nastiest airline in the First World and they will do anything to reduce costs, including really tight turn arounds of only a few minutes between a set of passengers getting off and a new set getting on. So they will have closely studied if it's better to have inboard stairs or stair trucks.
@@Dave_Sisson the nastiest airline...?
@@Elnino2910 Definitely. Talk to anyone who has flown with them. The interiors look like they are designed to be washed out with a fire hose and there are not even seat pockets. People put up with them because they are usually much cheaper than other airlines.
@@Dave_Sisson I see a lot of waffle here don’t see how this makes them nasty…? The interiors with boeing sky interior and updated colour schemes on their newer NG’s and their MAX’s are lovely, the old interior was horrid. 170Million pax per annum is a stat no other airline in Europe comes remotely close to. There’s a lot (majority) of happy customers, an airline the size of Ryanair you’re going to hear more frequent bad reviews than any other do to the laws of probability due to their size. In my experience for every bad review I hear (which is rarely justified, no free champagne or in flight meals doesn’t justify a moan) I hear around 20 positive. People don’t appreciate the scale of their operation and the airline itself, it’s over 150% bigger than EasyJet it’s the closest airline in Europe size wise. They absolutely excel in the product that they offer, their stats say it all, if you want to arrive safely, on time, with your bags, flying new and efficient aircraft with great customer service then fly Ryanair. If you want to arrive late, with no bags, old aircraft, limited on board service, then fly IAG, KLM AF, LH etc etc
Edit ** as for your point about seat pockets, removing them helps aid with the security checks during a 25 minute turnaround. If every seat back had pockets there’s no way a 25 minute turnaround would be possible and this is the cornerstone of Ryanair and why they are so successful.
@@Elnino2910 Perhaps you are not familiar with the phrase "cheap and nasty" which is used a lot where I live. It really means "affordable and very basic" rather than anything malevolent. Other than that, I mostly agree with what you wrote, with the proviso, that people ONLY fly with Ryanair because it is cheap. If money was not an issue, everyone would prefer to fly on ANY other airline that covers the route.
Can you please make a video on air Algeria purchase of 25 aircraft it was on your blog today. Thank you.
Forward or backward doesn’t matter you don’t remove the chocks while the stairs are not retracted, likewise you don’t deploy the stars before the chocks are in and the aircraft stable
Hey! it's Ryanair. What did anyone expect? Passengers had not paid extra for the "Chock removal after tug attached" upgrade for their flight.
Such a funny joke 🙄
Now I have questions… because I always thought it was standard procedures to attach the tow bar BEFORE the chocks? If anyone has information in regards to this.. please share! I’m genuinely curious
The chocks are placed down as soon as the aircraft arrives to the gate. The tow bar can be placed on immediately after chocks or some time later during the turnaround process. It really depends whenever a pushback tug becomes available. The chocks should remain on, even while the tow bar is on, until you're ready for pushback.
Maybe they were in a rush for a quick turnaround and removed the chocks before they were supposed to. Whatever they did it wasn't in the proper order.
@@ATLMike94 yeah for sure.. thankfully it never turned into a tragedy! Thanks for also taking the time out of your day to reply :)
Much to do about nothing.
That’s make a fourth landing gear for the next hard landing
I think the issue, is the pilot release the brakes before the ground crew gave the OK to release the brake .
Lesson: Not all reports you read on Twitter from airline passengers are accurate.
Perhaps the aircraft was on an incline?
Bruh you think this is a manual car on a hill or smth....
@@Neilarmeweak550 Bruh, airplanes have parking brakes and if they're about to be pushed back with a tug, the brakes are released. If the brake is released and the aircraft, you know, on wheels like a car, and it's on an incline, it's going to roll, then someone realizes it's rolling and reapply the brakes. Okay bruh? Good
This is quite a neat feature ngl
Any malfunction of an airplane is a big deal. When airplanes are in the air with passengers onboard, any malfunction could cause lost of lives. A BIG DEAL!!
I think I flew the same plane to Tenerife in 2014.
Was it the old cabin
I think that the aviation industry is struggling for staff too and those that are there are as despondent as many others in the U.K. workplace. Covid has definitely changed mindsets, work ethics and mentalities and not for the better.
Some ‘twitters’ have a well established record of gross exaggeration … how else can they grow their audience 😅 it’s a sad fact that integrity has no value anymore 😢
So are only the Max aircraft’s coming with the new split wiglet design? I thought Boeing was allowing airlines to retro fit their non-max 737s versions with the new design?
MAX’s come as standard with ‘advanced technology’ winglets. Ryanair are retrofitting ‘split scimitar’ winglets to its NG’s.
@@Elnino2910 MAX comes complete with an unstable low and high speed stall ...an inherently unstable flying pig with bight blue lipstick....
Advanced technology engines on a 1960's designed airframe.
It's OK !
They have MCAS !!?.
.....and advance technology winglets on a 1960's designed airframe..!!??
No one talking about his pronunciations 🔥
Did the ramp agents forget to chock the landing gear?
oh ok
Chavanair is what these airlines should be named 😅
D’oh!
Oh its always tp that airport on this channel 😅😂😂...
Pilot forgot to out Her hand brake on :)
Palma de Mallorca AYAYAY
Must have been human error.
I guess it was a low news day in aviation.......
More safety measures, this can't happen.
April 17th? My ex-wife’s B-day! Flt already jinxed.
Swine Air is the worst airline I ever flown on. They treat passengers like garbage, fly planes with broken toilets, demand no one gets out of there seats for a 4 hr flight, say someone has a peanut allergy on the plane so they don't have to do service. Yet, people still book flights with this treatment and they don't complain.
They treat their employees awful as well. I'm very surprised they are still in business. But the European consumer is a glutton for this type of punishment. This airline would not make it in the States. Look out Spirit/Frontier
Video misleading, non of it appears to be at Bristol airport
Someone is going to get sacked
It was made for Ryanair afterall, of course it's going to be in a hurry to move and be back up in the air
Who cares no one hurt the plane is ok. Go find something we want to know about.
I believe Ryanair are taking steps to pay for parking chocs now...
Funded by raising their toilet tax??
Pilot should have the brake on.!!!!!
Absolutely! It is policy at my airline for the parking brake to be set when the aircraft comes to a stop on the J line inbound, and they stay on until the pushback driver makes contact with the flight deck advising the captain the ramp is ready for pushback.
@@tallmansfavorites7563 clearly never heard of brake cooling
No they shouldn’t. It’s normal and good practice to release the parking brake when chocks are in place for brake cooling schedule.
@@Elnino2910 And after the cooling off period Re-apply the brakes
@@deniermurch8693 well obviously, but the ground crew ask if brakes are on before removing chocks (or they are supposed to at least anyway)
Ryanair most lousy airline sooo ...
This is the most un-informative video I've ever seen. Very disappointed. Do Better.
Shows Ryan Air is the most dangerous airline in the world
Ryanair has had no fatal accidents and only one Hull loss. This is the fault of Swiss Port, not Ryanair. Think before you comment.
No, the most dangerous airline in the world is LionAir!
Sounds like you are trying to start an internet-style "narrative". Now just repeat it 10,000 times whether true or not.
