Incident Overview
On 8 October 2018 at 1755 UTC, an Embraer 190 (ERJ 190-100 SR), registration G-LCYL, operated a commercial air transport passenger flight into London City Airport. The aircraft had two General Electric CF34-10E5A1 turbofan engines and was manufactured in 2010 (serial number 19000346). There were four crew members and 76 passengers on board.
Sequence of Events
During the landing, an unsecured rear galley cabin bar trolley dislodged from its stowage and rolled forward through the passenger cabin. A cabin crew member seated by Door 1 Left stopped the trolley, which was then secured in the forward galley. As a result, Door 1 Right would have been unusable in the event of a cabin evacuation.
Injuries and Damage
Four passengers sustained minor injuries caused by the trolley as it moved down the cabin. They received treatment on board and in the terminal after arrival. One of the four passengers subsequently attended a local hospital for further treatment. The aircraft sustained damage to the armrest bumper at seats 18B and 18C.
Crew Information
The commander held an Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence, was 36 years old, and had 3,618 hours total flying experience (1,864 hours on type). In the last 90 days he had flown 170 hours, with 63 hours in the last 28 days.
Operator Action
Following the incident, the operator reviewed and revised some of its Safety and Emergency Procedures to ensure that both cabin and galley areas are declared as being secure before landing.
