An Airbus A340-600 due to be delivered to Etihad Airways as A6-EHG was performing ground tests at the Airbus plant, Toulouse Airport. The wheels were not chocked when the crew started engine and brake tests at 15:19. Until 15:58 the maximum epr on the engine was between 1.04 and 1.22. One hour later tests were recommenced. All four engines were on 1.24 and 1.26 epr power for about three minutes. Thirteen seconds before the impact the aircraft started to move. Within 1 or 2 seconds the crew applied brake pedal inputs and selected parking brake off. These actions led the normal brake pressure to increase to its normal value. Two seconds prior before the impact, all 4 engine thrust levers were selected to idle. The aircraft impacted the containment wall at a ground speed of 30 kts. The nose went up and through the concrete wall. Five persons were injured. CAUSES DE L’ACCIDENT: “L’accident est d– … la r‚alisation sans cales et sur les quatre moteurs … la fois d’un essai au cours duquel la pouss‚e ‚tait voisine de la capacit‚ du frein de parc de l’avion. L’absence de systŠme de d‚tection et de correction des d‚rives dans la r‚alisation des essais au sol, dans un contexte de pression industrielle et commerciale permanente, a favoris‚ la r‚alisation d’un essai en dehors des proc‚dures ‚tablies. La surprise a amen‚ le technicien d’essais sol … se focaliser sur le systŠme de freinage ; de ce fait, il n’a pas pens‚ … r‚duire la pouss‚e des moteurs.”
