hope no1 on here or friends and family are involved

Flamin eck :eek: :(

 

Could of been ALOT worse tho!

You will never get me on a plane. I would rather walk

Christ, I know Tulip and her sister were flying this morning to Amsterdam, glad it wasnt a plane from Ireland....

Not another! RIP

still not G registered... theres a pattern here.. im saying nothing :x:

still not G registered...

 

And in english?? :)

And in english?? :)

 

LOL Ditto :)

G.. registred in Great Britain or N for north American aircraft. Heres a G plated aircraft and one for you mr eyes:D

OI who said you could post a pic of MY plane :rofl: :rofl:

 

Thanks for that Bri - i am now in the know :D

why would a turkish plane need to be G registered - Its turkish, not from GB.... :confused:

What Joely means is, it wasn't made nor maintained in this country...

ie ITS NOT MY FAULT!!!

 

these far eastern, or lesser developed countries, have farmers, chefs, midwives and whoever fancies it for some extra cash doing maintenance on their aircraft.. the caa are closing in on these cowboy outfits but its sad to see this sort of thing happening. im not suggesting that this was caused by these issues, but it does make me wonder!

 

an eye witness reported that it was silent as it approached... prolly run out of fuel :nono: another case of running out of fuel'ness' was when the fuel loadmaster went onto the flightdeck to ask the captain how much fuel he wanted, at the time the captain was talking to the first officer about a rugby score... 'righto' said the refueller as he proceeded to fill the tanks up to a rugby score.. it crashed!

 

ryanair have recently been punished as the pilots were instructed to save fuel by throttling right back once they get to cruise speed and getting VERY close to stall...

 

UK maintenance is expensive which is why these lesser developed places are getting more of the work and heavy maintenance in the uk is being compressed to very few but hopefully the balance of this will change as the caa clamp down on these cowboy outfits... then again the resultant of that will be me getting more money and your tickets going up im afraid :(

Oooooh I get ya now!

Yeah and i do to - and its quite scary actually!

The preliminary findings of the investigation-board are that one of the radio-altimeters malfunctioned, which resulted in the reduced throttle in anticipation of touchdown. The autopilot held on to the glideslope, which in turn resulted in the fatal stall...

 

Simple fault Major disaster!

 

some footage

Dam at that footage that must of been so scary

i know what your saying bri, however, with faulty rad alts, the same thing would have happened in manual mode, unless the pilots realised that they weren't at the altitude indicated. even with autoland doing its business there would have been lots of conflicting data at this point and i cant see why the flight crew didnt intervene the autoland and take control and do as they would in a manual approach... they are not here to defend themselves and the aaib aren't likely to release detailed reports so its easy to blame the autopilot.
