It is reported elsewhere that a DA40 has had a runway excursion at Cranfield and that the tail 'has snapped off'. I know no more.

Aerodrome NOTAMed closed until 10:00 on Monday.

A ‘full and free check’ prior to takeoff is in every aircraft’s checklist :roll:

But with unsecured stuff, full and free at the holding point doesn't mean it will be full and free if it tips backwards on take off.

From that picture, it looks as though the container was jammed in there without any possibility of movement.

If he was going to carry something in the P2 position, why, did he not put it on the seat and firmly strap it in place with the seat belt?

Caught sight of this headline and before reading the article presumed this had happened in some far flung 3rd world country.

I simply can't picture anyone standing by the aeroplane with that big, relatively heavy, plastic container and thinking "I know where a good place to stow this would be" :scratch:
