**Emirates Reported Incidents**
Chauffer-drive : ICE
Flight	Date	Aircraft	Location	Description
EK 764	9 April 2004	Airbus A340-300	OR Tambo International Airport	Emirates night flight 764 back to Dubai was cleared to takeoff from Johannesburg's 4,420m (14,500 feet) runway 21R. The crew used 'reduced flexible thrust' for takeoff. Following the call to rotate, the pilot pulled back on the stick, however, the aircraft did not become airborne and the pilot released the stick to avoid a tail-strike. The airplane rumbled off the end of the runway, smashed through a row of runway end/approach lights, and went about 650 feet before finally getting airborne after the pilot reapplied back-stick and also applied takeoff go-around (TOGA) power. The maneuver resulted in three blown tires during takeoff, which damaged the flaps and made them impossible to retract. After a fuel dump, the aircraft then returned back to the airport. On landing, at a speed of approximately 70kts (130 km/h), the brakes failed. Flight 764 came to a halt just before the end of the runway. It was the first time both pilots were flying the A340 and the pilot flying at the time had received ambiguous instructions regarding rotation technique during his transition training that resulted in the incident.
EK 407	20 March 2009	Airbus A340-500	Melbourne Airport	An Emirates Airbus A340-500, registration A6-ERG, operating as EK 407, bound for Dubai International Airport with 225 passengers on board made an emergency landing in Melbourne after suffering a tailstrike on takeoff. There were no injuries amongst the passengers or crew. The jet is known to have experienced at least one but possibly three or more tail strikes during its takeoff roll. The jet has been severely damaged, broken down to the underlying ribs or stringers in one area, in a part of the structure where the critical rear pressure bulkhead may also have been damaged. Early ATSB report suggests incorrect aircraft weight entered to calculate takeoff power may have contributed to the incident.
