| Narrative | While landing in Oslo the aircraft knocked over an optical instrument that was unable to cleared from the runway. The aircraft suffered no damage. This incident occurred when a foreign crew with an apparently reduced familiarity of the local conditions at Oslo/Gardermoen was given an approach procedure that implemented an approach to a runway in opposite direction of the runway in use for landing, followed by a circling for positioning to the correct runway. There was also other local traffic at the time. Additional difficulties arose when the Pilot in Command/crew did not fully understand the part of the inbound clearance that contained the instructions about brake-off and circling to RWY 19. A possible language barrier when trying to communicate outside standard phraseology cannot be ruled out. The Board do not know if the P-i-C would have complied with the original clearance: A right brake-off for a left circling to RWY 19, east of the field. The approach chart has no warning against this maneuver, but the original clearance/instructions were reversed. According to the P-i-C's statements the following day, he was determined to land on runway 01, as he had understood and accepted his first clearance. In the Pilot-in-Commands opinion, the actual wind conditions created no problems for such a landing with actual type of aircraft. |
