A B757 FLT CREW DESCRIBED AN INCIDENT INVOLVING A CHK AIRMAN WHO WAS INJURED ON ROLLOUT AT GLH BY AN UNSECURED FOOD CART DURING A FERRY FLT.

Narrative

THE FLT WAS A FERRY FLT FROM DTW TO THE CONTRACT PAINT FACILITY AT THE ARPT AT GREENVILLE; MS. THE CREW CONSISTED OF MYSELF (CAPT); THE FO AND A LINE CHK CAPT WHO WAS ADMINISTERING A LINE CHK TO ME. THE FO AND I PERFORMED THE FLT DECK CHKS WHILE THE LINE CHK CAPT PERFORMED THE EXTERIOR PREFLT AND INTERIOR CABIN CHKS (CHKING THE LAVATORIES AND SECURING THE GALLEYS). THE GALLEYS HAD NOT BEEN DECATERED; AND THREE REQUESTED CREW MEALS HAD NOT BEEN BOARDED; SO WE CALLED DTW OPS FOR HELP. BECAUSE IT WAS NEAR HUB TIME; IT TOOK OVER AN HR FOR CATERING TO COME TO THE ACFT. I WAS TOLD THEY CAME TO THE AFT GALLEY. LATER; CATERING DELIVERED 3 CREW MEALS TO THE FORWARD GALLEY. THE FLT DEPARTED ALMOST 2 HRS LATE. THE FLT WAS UNEVENTFUL FROM TKOF THROUGH FINAL APCH. A VISUAL APCH WAS FLOWN TO RWY 36R. TOUCHDOWN AND ROLLOUT WERE NORMAL. AS I APPLIED REVERSE THRUST; I HEARD THE CHK PLT GET OUT OF THE JUMPSEAT; THEN HEARD A LOUD CRASH COMING FROM THE CABIN AREA. I STOPPED THE ACFT ON THE RWY; AND THE FO GOT UP TO INVESTIGATE. HE RPTED THAT A GALLEY CART HAD ROLLED FROM THE AFT GALLEY TO THE FRONT OF THE ACFT AND THAT THE CHK CAPT HAD GOTTEN KNOCKED OVER IN AN ATTEMPTING TO STOP IT. HE ALSO RPTED THAT THE CHK CAPT WAS COMPLAINING OF PAIN TO HIS HAND AND FOOT. I PROCEEDED TO TAXI TO PARKING WHERE I ASKED THE GND PERSONNEL TO SUMMON PARAMEDICS. THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED; ADMINISTERED FIRST AID AND TRANSPORTED HIM TO THE LCL MEDICAL FACILITY. HE WAS TREATED; RELEASED AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN A LCL HOTEL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT HE BROKE A BONE IN HIS ANKLE AND SPRAINED HIS WRIST. EXAMINATION OF THE AFT GALLEY REVEALED THAT NONE OF THE BINS; CARTS OR CABIN DOORS HAD BEEN SECURED. THE PROB AROSE BECAUSE THE AFT GALLEY CARTS HAD NOT BEEN SECURED AFTER THE CATERING PERSONNEL HAD ENTERED THE AFT GALLEY. IT WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL AFTER TOUCHDOWN WHEN THE CHK PLT HEARD THE CART COMING FORWARD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THE GALLEY CARTS HAD BEEN SECURED (EITHER BY CATERING PERSONNEL OR BY THE FLT CREW). TO PRECLUDE THIS HAPPENING AGAIN; A CHKLIST HAS BEEN DEVELOPED; AND NON-NORMAL OPS PROCS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE COCKPIT OPERATING MANUAL. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 604639: THE CHK AIRMAN LEFT THE FLT DECK TO PERFORM AN ACFT EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR CABIN INSPECTION TO HELP EXPEDITE DEP. DURING THE INTERIOR INSPECTION THE CHK AIRMAN CLOSED ALL OVERHEAD BINS; INSPECTED ALL LAVATORIES AND SECURED ALL GALLEYS INCLUDING GALLEY CARTS. THROUGH SOME OVERHEARD CONVERSATIONS IT APPEARED THAT THE DRIVER DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM ON THE CATERING TRUCK TO REMOVE ALL THE CARTS FROM THE ACFT. DURING ROLLOUT; AUTOBRAKES SETTING 'ONE' AND REVERSE THRUST WERE USED TO SLOW THE ACFT. DURING THE DECELERATION I HEARD A NOISE IN THE PAX CABIN AND NOTICED THE CHK AIRMAN LEAVE THE JUMPSEAT FOR THE CABIN. AFTER THE 60 KT CALL I SAW THE CHK AIRMAN ON THE GALLEY FLOOR JUST OUTSIDE THE FLT DECK DOOR AND A GALLEY CART MOVING AROUND IN THE GALLEY.
