Incident: Vueling A320 at Hamburg on May
11th 2018, ATC prevents landing on wrong airport
A Vueling Airbus A320-200, registration EC-KDG performing
flight VY-1820 from Barcelona,SP (Spain) to Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel (Germany),
was on approach to Hamburg's International Airport Fuhlsbüttel. The ILS for
runway 05 as well as the NDB approach were out of service, the approach
minima had been raised due to obstacles near the runway 05. Aircraft were
cleared for RNP approaches to runway 05, the Vueling crew however performed a
visual approach to runway 05 and lined up with Finkenwerder's runway 05. ATC
intervened, instructed the crew to turn left and not to descend. The crew
shifted their flight path slightly to the left, climbed 200 feet, now aligned
with the runway 05 of Fuhlsbüttel and continued for a safe landing on the
correct runway.
A listener on frequency reported ILS and NDB approaches were out of service, aircraft were normally cleared for RNP approaches, the Vueling crew however could not or did not want to fly the RNP and opted for a visual approach to runway 05. The crew reported the runway in sight about 20nm before Fuhlsbüttel's runway 05 and about 10nm before Finkenwerder's runway 05. ATC cleared the aircraft for a visual approach further instructing to maintain 2500 feet until 7nm before touchdown. A few minutes later ATC instructed the crew to turn left and not descend as the aircraft obviously attempted to land on Finkenwerder's runway 05. According to ADS-B data transmitted by the aircraft the aircraft joined the final approach course about 23nm before the Fuhlsbüttel's runway 05 threshold, was fully aligned with Finkenwerder's runway 05 just before Buxtehude about 7nm before Finkenwerder's runway 05 threshold and began the final descent, then turned slightly left and climbed 200 feet shifting their flight path slightly (about 0.9nm) to the left, flew past Finkenwerder now aligned with Fuhlsbüttel's runway 05 and landed safely. The occurrence aircraft departed for the return flight to Barcelona on schedule, however, is now still on the ground in Barcelona about 8 hours after landing in Barcelona. |
