During the climb on 20th November 2024, a windshield crack was discovered in the Qeshm Air Fokker 100. The aircraft departed from the airport in Tehran but was forced to return to avoid an accident during the flight. This incident demonstrates the necessity to enhance aircraft safety checks. Better monitoring of such damage on board before flight can help avoid further accidents. Thus, even rare failures will not be able to influence the continuous operation of aircraft and flight safety.

Incident Details

The Qeshm Air Fokker 100 was ready to operate flight QB-1240 from Mehrabad International Airport, Tehran, to Qeshm. The crew found the windshield crack soon after departure. It remained unnoticed until the climb-out. The crew of the Fokker 100 immediately notified air traffic control, after which the aircraft returned to the Mehrabad Airport. After a successful landing, the crew and passengers could leave the aircraft safely. No injuries were reported during the incident. After the accident, the Fokker 100 was sent for a thorough inspection to determine the causes of the windshield crack and possible structural implications. The rapid response of the crew following aviation safety protocols helped to avoid potential risks and highlighted its professionalism.

Technical Causes and Implications

Windshield cracks can occur for various reasons. They include manufacturing defects, structural stress or impact from foreign objects. The presence of windshield cracks in the aircraft can pose a serious safety threat during flight. Among these risks are the potential cabin depressurization or reduced visibility in the cockpit. However, the windshields of modern aircraft are specially designed with multilayered reinforced materials. They can prevent dangerous accidents and catastrophic failure of the aircraft. The incident of Qeshm Air Fokker 100 highlighted the necessity for proactive maintenance of aircraft. Meanwhile, it underscored how compliance with the rapid response protocols ensured the safety of passengers and crew during unexpected technical problems.

Aviation Safety Measures

Aviation safety protocols ensure a fast and effective response in case of structural problems on the board. The aviation industry regularly modifies these protocols to avoid possible incidents and add technological advancements. Past experiences such as windshield failures due to stress or impact can improve standard operating procedures and create more resilient designs. The innovations of systems designed for regular maintenance inspections of aircraft provide enhanced preventive measures. They help prevent dangerous situations during flight and demonstrate the commitment of the aviation industry to continuous improvement of its safety.

Safety Improvement

Every incident involving structural problems in aircraft requires immediate intervention to maintain the safety and trust of passengers. Solving such problems contributes to the enhancement and development of aviation industry expertise. Continuous improvement of safety protocols and rigorous technical checks ensure improved aircraft operation and crew preparedness to act in unforeseen situations.
