Air Zimbabwe Pilot Receives Standing Ovation From Passengers. by SageTravels: 8:51pm On Jun 25, 2016 |
On Saturday, one of the captains of Air Zimbabwe, Captain Elizabeth Simbi Petros (in the circle) turned super-heroine after battling for about an hour to land her aircraft due bad weather after three attempts at Bulawayo Airport. Passengers gave her a standing ovation. According to one of the passengers that witnessed everything and saw how the she (Captain Elizabeth) managed to land safely said he had already concluded his last prayers on board. I don't mean to sound sexist but she handled the plane better than most men. I had said my last prayers up there. – He said http://www.sagetravels.com/2016/06/air-zimbabwe-pilot-receives-standing.html?m=1 1 Like

Hmmmmmm OP, There are many holes in this your story oh! 1. It doesn't make sense to battle to land a plane for over an hour in BAD weather in three attempts when she can either return to the airport where she came from or divert to an alternate airport. Standard procedure. 2. Two captains don't usually fly an aircraft at the same time, it's almost unheard of. It's usually a captain and a first officer. Ever heard of you can't have two captains in one ship? 3. In the event of the situation as described above (if true) it's the captain who sits on the left who takes charge of the aircraft, the pictures you posted apparently has two captains meaning that they didn't operate that flight. 4. How did the passengers in the CABIN see how she landed the aircraft abi is there a live feed from the cockpit to the cabin? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Boeing777pilot: I really love your questions. Thanks for the questions. 1. The picture is showing: Captains Chipo Matimba (right) and Elizabeth Simbi Petros smile for the cameras before take-off at Harare International Airport en route to Victoria Falls last year 2. Two captains don't usually fly an aircraft at the same time. YES I AGREE with you. she snapped that picture with a colleague Captain Chipo Matimba (right) at Harare International Airport en route to Victoria Falls last year 3. According to the passenger he saw but I knew that was just imagination. just like you in Nigeria. and seeing yourself in Dubai Dhow cruise. Imagination. 4. she finally landed at the foggy Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport in Bulawayo. 5. I did not say "Over an Hour" I said "About an Hour" it does not mean it is up to an hour. You can Google it to confirm the authenticity of the story. Thank you all. 2 Likes |
