rolled down the aisle of first class and come to rest after
damaging the partition between first and business classes.
The Inflight Coordinator and the Flight Attendant had
rushed to hold the cart in place until the airplane [had
stabilized], enabling them to resecure the cart.
It occurred to me that any other action on their part might
have triggered a high-speed abort, with possible
consequences such as blown tires, a runway excursion,
evacuation injuries, etc. After I arrived, I filled out a report
commending the Inflight Coordinator for her presence of
mind, and then retired, as the next day was my birthday!
A final preflight check of the security of the beverage cart
latches might have prevented this mishap. Given the
situation as it occurred, however, the cabin crew did a fine
job of minimizing the problem. What a way for this
Captain to retire!

and incapacitation. An aircraft can become
“incapacitated,” too, sometimes with a little help from its
crew—the other half of the human-machine team.
Reporters offer some stories of how their aircraft came to
be on the injured list.
Distraction from nearby traffic was the undoing of an air
carrier crew and its aircraft.
■ As we started our takeoff roll, the autothrottles
advanced power to the maximum. At approximately 80
knots, I noticed an overshoot on the #2 engine’s N1
[compressor speed] to approximately 100.7%, the target
being 97.3%. I attempted to correct the power setting
manually. As we rotated, we adjusted our heading to
clear [VFR traffic ahead]. I looked down to the engine
instruments and noticed both red overtemp lights were on
on the EGT gauges. We immediately selected climb
thrust, which brought all the readings back to normal.
We continued to monitor the instruments looking for
anything abnormal, but everything was normal for the
rest of the flight. We accomplished the appropriate
checklists and made logbook entries as required.
Our eyes were outside the cockpit, our first priority being
traffic avoidance. Had we been on the instruments, we
would have noticed the high EGTs [before they peaked].
Apparently, both engines had to be changed.
A clear division of cockpit tasks is necessary for the crew
to keep up with the ever-changing engine instruments, as
well as the ever-changing environment outside the
cockpit.
Red Carpet Treatment
The First Officer of a corporate aircraft reports an
unusual cause of an “overheated” engine:
■ Upon initiation of the takeoff roll, we noticed a noise
on the left side of the aircraft, and the aircraft veered left.
It felt like a blown tire; however, it was an engine failure.
We immediately aborted and pulled off the runway. The
Tower reported fire and smoke from the left engine. The
PIC shut it down and did the engine fire checklist. We
taxiied to the ramp and exited the aircraft.
Mechanic’s inspection [revealed the presence of] a “red
carpet” mat like that laid on the ground under the door.
The mat was placed on the wing by the mechanic, who
then moved the aircraft with a tug. As we had completed
our preflight inspection, we did not look for the mat or
any other abnormality. On takeoff roll, the mat had been
sucked into the left engine. The fire was the mat burning
inside the engine.
Since the red carpet is still in use, one of the pilots now
makes a quick walk-around to see that all the mats are
in their proper places.
More Hot Stuff
The next report describes how a biplane received damage,
and how its pilot got hurt as well.
■ I had just finished washing the aircraft. I hot-started
it, and put in too much throttle. It got away from me and
hit the building. My intent was to taxi to the hangar. I
had not put on my seatbelt (stupid!). Therefore, I got a cut
over my eye when the aircraft stopped. The propeller,
engine, and left wing were all damaged, and the frame
may be bent.
The aircraft’s brakes could have failed if they got wet
during the wash job. In any event, seatbelts are a “must”
anytime the aircraft engine is started.
All Hands On Deck
A light twin aircraft sustained damage at the hands of a
student during a training flight. The instructor reports:
■ [During takeoff], just as we reached rotation speed,
the student raised the nose and, for no explainable
reason, he reached down and raised the gear at the same
time. The left prop hit the runway. He yanked back on
