- Date: June 26, 2002
- Aircraft: Boeing 767-200
- Location: Shimoji-shima, Okinawa, Japan
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The trainee's mishandled go around with one engine simulated inoperative, the resulting thrust imbalance, and the instructor's late takeover. Company training guidance and instructor training were cited as contributing factors.
A training flight at Shimoji-shima in an All Nippon Airways Boeing 767 was simulating a touch and go with one engine out. On a go around with one engine simulated inoperative, the trainee's thrust and rudder inputs and a late takeover by the instructor let the aircraft veer right off the runway into grass. No one was hurt.
