Emirates’ (Probably) Terrifying Boeing 777 Flight To Washington
Aviation is incredibly safe, and for every disaster there are many catastrophes that are narrowly avoided. It would appear that an Emirates Boeing 777 departing Dubai about a week ago nearly had a major incident after takeoff. (onemileatatime.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Use preflight check list, fly the plane & get heads out of the cockpit.
I saw Thunderbird #6 crash several years ago for apparently a similar reason. They had flown from the Reno airshow on Saturday to perform at Mtn Home AFB on Sunday. They did not practice takeoffs at MHAFB Saturday evening. On Sunday, #6 took off and performed a few maneuvers including a Split-S. As he approached the flightline at the bottom of the loop, I thought he looked very low; and then he slapped the F-16 into the ground, ejecting 0.6 sec before the crash. He survived. I later heard he had failed to properly reset his altimeter to the MHAFB elevation. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=f16+crash+at+mountain+home&docid=607999504815573587&mid=F2405AA79E0F4B3DE62DF2405AA79E0F4B3DE62D&view=detail&FORM=VIRE
Just follow the cockpit procedure/checklist and this could have been avoided. Let this be a lesson to those who just want to wing it!!
I’m not a pilot but don’t they have checklists. And doesn’t the pilot actually flys the plane during takeoff and landing?
that's what happens when you hire an Ekranoplan pilot.
checklists. performed by 2 people. it's kinda a thing.
