摘要

Agulfstream IV was put at high risk when its flightpath was hadly managed by the crew as they were turning back to Kerry airport with a minor fault, according to an Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit report.rnThe "serious incident" on 13 July 2009 began just after the GIV (VT-MST) took off from Runway 08 at Kerry, bound for London Luton, UK when the captain's windshield cracked and the crew requested a return to Kerry. The AAIU report criticises the pilots for poor crew resource management leading to a serious loss of situational awareness.
