英国航空客机在希思罗机场疑似发生两次尾部擦地后停飞

BA431在希思罗机场复飞后安全着陆，但A321neo退出运营，意味着其状况以及机尾疑似接触跑道的确切过程仍未确定。

机尾似乎两次触及希思罗机场跑道。随后，这架英国航空客机爬升离开，绕飞后在第二次进近时安全着陆。对BA431航班来说，飞行到此结束，但飞机是否适合再次飞行的问题并未结束。这架空客A321neo已停飞接受检查。⁠1

这架注册号为G-TNEB的飞机于2026年11月12日星期四从阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场飞抵。Big Jet TV拍摄的画面，经公开报道描述后，据称似乎显示飞机尝试着陆时机尾与跑道有两次接触。这是对画面似乎所显示内容的描述，并非事故调查人员已经确认的调查结论。⁠1

据AOL刊载的一篇《快报》文章转述Paddle Your Own Kanoo的报道，飞机第二次进近成功着陆后，乘客正常下机。英国航空表示，飞机已安全着陆，公司正在协助英国航空事故调查处（英国的飞机事故调查机构）开展工作。任何损坏的程度仍不清楚。⁠1

飞机已安全着陆，我们正在协助AAIB开展调查，目前依法无法进一步置评。

航空公司的声明证实了其关于配合AAIB调查的说法。但声明没有解释原因，没有确定这些疑似接触的严重程度，也没有提供该机构对检查正式状态和范围的说明。支持这篇报道的证据中，没有AAIB直接发布的公告或检查报告。

着陆过程留下的未解之处

当天早些时候，G-TNEB从希思罗飞往阿姆斯特丹，之后作为BA431航班返回伦敦。AOL文章称这趟进港航班飞行约1小时35分钟，并称事件发生在上午11时左右。报道中的时间为约数，且未明确注明时区。⁠1

同一篇文章将相关描述归于《太阳报》，称飞机先以左侧轮胎着地，随后机尾撞上跑道，飞行员放弃着陆。相比之下，《航空先驱报》11月12日的事件报告称，飞机在“复飞过程中”发生尾部擦地。这些说法并未厘清疑似接触发生在机动开始前还是开始后。⁠1⁠19

复飞是指中止进近或着陆尝试并爬升离开。复飞不一定要在机轮触地前发生：空客将拒绝着陆定义为主起落架触地或飞机弹跳后启动的复飞。制造商还发布了专门涉及近地复飞的指引。因此，BA431重新升空这一事实本身并不能解释事件经过，也无法确定机尾为何似乎发生了接触。⁠4⁠3

接触次数也需要谨慎判断。《每日电讯报》11月13日的标题称飞机机尾“擦过”跑道，而《航空先驱报》使用的是单数表述“尾部擦地”。这两种说法都不能证明接触恰好只有一次，也不能推翻疑似发生两次接触的说法。现有专业资料摘录并未独立核实确切次数。⁠2⁠19

目前没有证据支持将责任归于飞行员、天气、飞机设备或任何其他特定因素。现有的制造商资料摘录也没有提供足够的程序细节，无法评估机组人员在疑似发生接触后是否遵守了空客的指示。解释什么是复飞，并不等于评判这次复飞的操作方式。

安全抵达，不等于已获准复飞

尾部擦地是指飞机机尾与跑道发生接触。空客警告称，这种接触可能造成严重结构损坏。这种一般性风险说明了检查为何重要；但这并不能证明G-TNEB遭受了严重损坏，也不能证明飞机需要大规模维修。⁠5

这一区别很重要，因为第二次成功着陆只回答了事件的一部分。飞机安全返回地面。之前的接触是否损坏了机体结构，是另一个问题，需要通过检查来确定，而不能从航班的结局推断。

据报道，对乘客来说，第一次尝试令人惊恐。AOL文章转述了《太阳报》的说法，称机上有人尖叫，人们在座位上猛地向前倾，但这些描述未经独立证实。机上人数尚未确定。第二次着陆后乘客正常下机，不应被扩展为“无人受伤”这一经过独立核实的结论。⁠1

运营方面的影响不止涉及BA431。G-TNEB当天原定还有数趟航班，因退出运营接受维护检查，这些安排受到影响。现有报道没有说明有多少航班受到影响、这些航班是被取消还是由其他飞机承运，也没有说明还有多少旅客受到影响。⁠1

暂定于11月14日恢复运营，但明确取决于损坏程度。这只是一个有条件的安排，并不意味着检查已经结束、维修已经完成，或飞机已经获准飞行。下一个有实际意义的进展是检查结果，以及这个暂定日期能否兑现。在此之前，安全着陆是已经确认的事实；飞机状况以及出现这些疑似接触的原因则尚未确定。⁠1

播出原貌
  1. British Airways has grounded the jet involved in an aborted Heathrow landing.
  2. The jet's tail appeared to touch the runway twice during the attempted landing. The pilots went around and landed safely on their second approach. Passengers disembarked normally. Now the inspection must determine whether the aircraft sustained structural damage.
  3. The aircraft was an Airbus A321neo, registered G-TNEB, operating British Airways flight BA431. The incident happened on Thursday, November twelfth, twenty twenty-six, as the aircraft arrived at Heathrow from Amsterdam Schiphol.
  4. The incident reportedly happened at around eleven in the morning. The arriving flight lasted about an hour and thirty-five minutes. The aircraft appeared to touch down on its left-side tyres before its tail made contact with the runway.
  5. G-TNEB had already flown from Heathrow to Amsterdam earlier that day. BA431 was bringing it back to London. After the abandoned landing, the pilots climbed away and returned for another approach to Heathrow.
  6. A go-around means the pilots discontinue an approach or landing attempt and climb away. It can begin after the main wheels have touched down, or after a bounce. That manoeuvre is also called a rejected landing.
  7. The precise timing of the apparent tail contacts relative to the start of the go-around is still unclear. The successful second landing tells us how the flight ended, while investigators still have to explain the earlier landing attempt.
  8. Passengers reportedly screamed and lurched forward in their seats during the attempted landing. Those descriptions haven't been corroborated. After the second approach, passengers left the aircraft normally.
  9. Subscribe to this channel as we follow the aircraft's inspection and the investigation into the landing.
  10. British Airways says it's assisting the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, Britain's aircraft accident investigators. The airline says the aircraft landed safely, and that legal restrictions prevent it from commenting further at this stage.
  11. The airline hasn't given a cause for the incident. There's no finding assigning responsibility to the pilots, the weather or the aircraft's equipment. The examination of the landing still has to explain what happened.
  12. G-TNEB had several more flights planned that day, and its withdrawal disrupted those plans. Taking the aircraft out of service meant maintenance staff could examine it before any decision about its return to flying.
  13. A tail strike happens when an aircraft's tail touches the runway. It can cause significant structural damage and may require substantial repairs. An aircraft can complete a subsequent landing safely and still need a detailed examination of that contact.
  14. The extent of any damage to G-TNEB is still unknown. November fourteenth was given as a provisional return-to-service date. Whether the aircraft can return on that date depends on the inspection outcome and the extent of any damage.
