Il quotidiano China Daily del 27 febbraio c.a. riporta:

The Chinese aircraft manufacturer AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industries group said it has applied to the aviations authority for permission to ground some of its (Modern Ark) MA-60 regional planes operating nationwide.
The request come after an incident on Tuesday when a system malfunction resulted in a MA-60 circling Shenyang Taoxian International airport in Liaoniong province for more then two hours as the pilot and ground staff attempted to solve the problem.
Just when the pilot was initiating the landing procedure, the plane's instrument panel indicated a malfunction in the undercarriage.
The pilot descended at low altitude and requested the air controllers observe the undercarriage to asses if it was working correctly before they attempt to land the plane,according to a report on China Central television that cited sources within the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
Some of the passengers leaved the airport's main hall hall in tears after Flight BK2870, operated by the Beijing-headquartered budget carrier Okay airwais, finally landed safetly more then two hours and half later then scheduled. No causalities were reported.


All'interno c'è un'intera pagina dedicata all'argomento, che non posso riportare per intero ina ssenza di scanner, in cui è riportata la foto di due donne effettivamente piangenti (dopo due ore col fiato sospeso un po` di commozione è comprensibile, ma fa scena sottolinearlo – tutto il mondo è paese), Si riporta una lista di quattro precedenti incidenti, di cui due senza feriti, uno con due feriti gravi e l'altro imprecisato. Tre di tali incidenti erano anch'essi dovuti a problemi al carrello, quello con i feriti ad un fuoripista. Il primo risale al 18 marzo 2011.
Si afferma che il velivolo è comunque buono e che problemi ci sono sempre in un prodotto nuovo, e che i nuovi velivoli sono sempre acquistati inizialmente da compagnie minori attratte dallo sconto, le quali però hanno tecnici meno esperti di quelli delle grandi. Casa costruttrice e autorità aviatorie cinesi collaboreranno per identificare e risolvere il problema.
Infine, si informa che il grounding sarebbe un serio problema per Okay, in quanto la metà dei suoi aerei sono MA-60. Peccato che gli aerei di Okey siano definiti “jets” mentre le foto mostrano un turboelica.

Si appunto, copia/incolla come l'ARJ21 (DC9-MD80) e tutti gli altri progetti di AVIC/AVIC2 e tutte le cinesi....

cmq nell'articolo parlano di jet ma i MA60 sono turboprop!

L'ARJ 21 non é un copia/incolla, ma é basato sui disegni del Md80 e rivisto dalla Antonov per motori, profilo alare e poco altro.
 
Joy Air MA60 skids off runway at Fuzhou airport

A Xi’an-based Joy Air MA60 skidded off the runway while landing at Fuzhou Changle International Airport May 10, resulting in a wings and fuselage junction fracture phenomena. According to Flight Safety Foundation’s Aviation Safety Network, the wings of the aircraft were twisted, causing the engines to strike the ground.
Joy Air said there were 45 passengers and seven crew members onboard; five passengers suffered minor injuries.
The aircraft, which is powered by Pratt & Whitney PW100-127J engines, was operating as flight JR1529 on the Yiwu-Fuzhou route when the runway excursion occurred.
Fuzhou airport was closed until 17:30, while more than 20 flights were delayed or canceled.
The cause of the incident is still under investigation.
Joy Air operates a single fleet of eight MA60s on more than 30 domestic routes. AVIC, which produces the MA60, is the controlling stakeholder and owns a 95% stake.
The MA60 has received more than 270 orders; nearly 100 aircraft have been delivered to 27 carriers in the developing countries, mainly in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. The MA60 has been refused airworthiness certification in New Zealand, Australia, several European states and the US.
In February 2014, a Joy Air Xian MA60 crashed while landing at China’s Zhengzhou-Xinzheng Airport, significantly damaging the aircraft. There were 37 passengers and seven cabin crew onboard; no injuries were reported.
In March 2014, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) grounded 15 MA60s after safety incidents involving landing gear last year.

By Simon Hradecky, created Sunday, May 10th 2015 20:12Z, last updated Sunday, May 10th 2015 20:38Z
A Joy Air Xian MA-60, registration B-3467 performing flight JR-1529 from Yiwu to Fuzhou (China) with 45 passengers and 7 crew, landed on Fuzhou's runway 03 at about 11:57L (03:57Z) but veered right off the runway and came to a stop right off the runway edge about 500 meters past the runway threshold and about 50 meters off the runway centerline with all gear on soft ground. The engines made ground contact causing the wings to be nearly torn off and substantial damage to the fuselage and structure. 7 occupants received injuries in the accident.

Mi risulta che anche Merpati abbia avuto, prima di fallire, diversi incidenti più o meno gravi con questo cinese. Smisi di volare Merpati dopo una serie di incidenti tra cui ricordo il cinese.
 
Nove incidenti gravi negli ultimi sette anni...di cui 5 negli ultimi due anni e mezzo non sono per niente pochi...se si considera il numero di aerei prodotti...(54 aerei circolanti e 14 stored) Mi risulta che anche myanma air lo abbia grounded dopo due incidenti nel giro di un mese...
