st27 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I have commented recently on the increasing number of accidents involving pilots that may have been relying on technology or just a lack of experience…..here is another accident which raises some questions: Does anybody know of a Piper Lance … CFBWH? https://abcnews.go.com/US/dead-after-single-engine-plane-crashes-40-nashville/story?id=107796017 “ The flight originated in Ontario — specifically Milton, according to reports — and made stops along the way that were likely to gas up, including in Erie, Pa., and Mount Sterling, Ky., McCarter said. Before the pilot radioed in the emergency, the plane had been on a normal flight track with no mechanical irregularities reported while it flew in from the Kentucky airport, McCarter added.

st27 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Quote The plane was based at the Brampton Flight Centre, which is owned and operated by the Brampton Flying Club, said its general manager, Allan Paige. He could not say whether the plane took off from there, however, as the airport is uncontrolled and does not have flight records. The Canadian Civil Aircraft Register shows the aircraft was registered to a numbered company as of last July. The business is registered to an address in Vaughan, Ont., according to provincial business records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.O. Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Seeing as the pilot reported an engine failure to ATC, I'm not sure how a reliance on automation would be a factor here. So far it sounds like he struck a major set of power lines as he was trying to put it on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a city. dark and engine out, equals no good options. My condolences to the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I am sure that by now almost everyone knows the President of Iran, (+6 or 7 ?), died in a helo crash yesterday. I happened to have CNN on when the news hit. It appears " Iranian goverment sources" were stating that it was not a hard landing just rather an abrupt landing due to weather.. As we all know, best you have actual facts before pontificating about any incident concerning aircraft. If you have seen the video of the crash site, I wonder how the Iranian "spokes person" would describe a "catasthrophic landing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deicer Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/21/one-dead-as-singapore-airlines-flight-encounters-severe-turbulence.html One dead, 30 injured as Singapore Airlines flight encounters severe turbulence KEY POINTS One person died aboard a Singapore Airlines flight which encountered severe turbulence and diverted to Bangkok, the airline said Tuesday. The flight had left London for Singapore, and was rerouted to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 And I wonder how many of the injured, and possibly the deceased individual, were wearing seat belts. Funny how people in cars wear a seatbelt, (mandatory just about everywhere), and max speed might be 120km/hr yet sitting in a tube, without air bags etc, doing over 950km/hr figure they will never hit a bump.... Doesn't matter how smooth it is the SEATBELT should ALWAYS BE FASTENED. (yeh, I know, preaching to the choir here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 The flight fell into an air pocket while the cabin crew was serving breakfast before it encountered turbulence, prompting the pilots to request an emergency landing, Suvarnabhumi airport general manager Kittipong Kittikachorn told a press conference.

My sources tell me that during a high power engine run, with the parking brake set, the brakes failed. They are no longer allowed to carry out engine runs at that location, they must go out to the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 16 minutes ago, Kip Powick said: An air pocket, also known as clear-air turbulence (CAT), is an area of rapidly changing air pressure that can cause sudden and violent movements of an aircraft. They are often invisible to the naked eye, and can occur at any altitude, but are most common in the troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere.Aug 3, 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
