AAIB investigation to ERJ 170-200 STD, Embraer 175, G-FBJK
Incorrect takeoff configuration for calculated performance, Dublin Airport, Ireland, 11 August 2018.
Summary:
When advised that the takeoff runway had changed the pilots recalculated the takeoff performance from an intersection. This produced a different flap setting, which they did not notice, despite them cross-checking the information. The aircraft subsequently took off with an incorrect flap setting for the calculated takeoff performance data.
The operator is considering three safety actions to strengthen its procedures and prevent recurrence.
