British Airways flight BA89, a Boeing 777-236ER, G-YMML encountered what the commander described as “moderate chop” around 15 minutes before landing at Beijing Daxing Airport and while manoeuvring to avoid convective weather seen on radar. The commander was informed after landing of a serious injury to one of the crew that had been sustained during the turbulence.
Conclusion (re G-STBL and similar accident involving G-YMML):
Although the pilots of both aircraft were taking action to avoid weather, each aircraft suffered a turbulence event of sufficient severity to cause injuries amongst the unsecured cabin crew. Route weather forecasts give a general prediction that turbulence is likely but often cannot reflect actual conditions in sufficient detail to enable pilots to avoid specific instances of turbulence. G-YMML was approaching its planned destination and so landed there.
G-STBL returned to its airfield of departure on receipt of medical advice. The safety of the aircraft was not jeopardised.
