Situation:

On April 29, 2013, a Boeing 747-400 (N949CA), from National airlines, had the tragic loss of one of its aircraft in an
accident that puzzled the world about what would be the real cause. The aircraft was taking off from Begran to Dubai Al
Maktoum with 7 crew members and the load of 5 MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) military vehicles.
Moments after taking off from runway 03 at Bagram Air Base, at 3:30 pm local time, the Boeing 747 lost lift, falling and
bursting into flames near the end of the runway, within the perimeter of the Air Base.

My Solution:

The real cause of the accident was due to the displacement of the load linked to the state of the ropes and the error in
lashing the loads.
My solution to prevent problems like this from happening again would be better management of working conditions for
crew and cargo personnel. Based on case studies, I could see that one of those responsible for lashing the loads did not
have the necessary certifications and training for such operations, which increases the possibilities of human error.
Another fact is that the company's own manual regarding moorings was flawed, according to boeing.
Points to be worked on:

- Scale management;
- Training for crew and operators;
- Barriers / inspections in risk operations.
