Are you kidding me? So we shouldn't be alarmed? If the door fell off a moving car will you not panic? More so a Freaking Plane. Men This is crazy. What if someone was leaning on the door when it fell off? You guys are out of your mind i swear.

it fell out in mid air everybody will be sucked out

Wesporting:
The management of Dana Air has reacted to news going round on social media said the door of its aircraft fell off because a passenger attempted to open it.
DANA Air today debunked falsehood alleging that the door of one of its aircraft fell off after landing and whilst taxing in Abuja earlier today.

Some online publications had started posting reports that the door of one of the airline’s aircraft fell off but stated that the allegations were not only untrue and damaging but categorically could never have happened without a conscious effort to open it.

By design, the emergency exit door of our aircraft are plug-type backed by pressure, which ordinary cannot fall off without tampering or conscious effort to open by a crew member or passenger.

A statement by Dana Air of the alleged incident read,”We wish to state categorically that this could never have happened without a conscious effort by a passenger to open it.”

“By design, the emergency exit door of our aircraft are plug-type backed by pressure, which ordinary cannot fall off without tampering or conscious effort to open by a crew member or passenger.”

“We also wish to enlighten the author that, when an aircraft is airborne, it is fully pressurized and there was no way the seat or door could have been ‘shaking’ as insinuated.”

“A thorough inspection was however carried out on the said aircraft upon landing in Abuja, by our engineers and a team from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and no issue was reported. There was also no threat to safety at any point.”

“The flight was only delayed for 8 minutes as we needed to demonstrate to the regulators that the safety and comfort of our guests is at the centre of our operations.”

“We wish to apologize to our guests for any inconvenience such report may have caused and for the slight delay on the return service to Lagos.”

“A thorough investigation of the concerned passenger is ongoing.
As one of the oldest and most experienced airline in Nigeria, we remain committed to global best practices. “

Sharrrap you people...

Instead of you to go repair your plane you dey here de blow huge lies...

I go kill myself if I ever visit una stand to buy ticket again...idiots!!

Oga there are some things instruments cannot help you with. For example birds have caused a good number of accidents by flying into the engines of planes and other such. A good degree of visibility is still required. The pilot is also manually engaged during take off and landing and requires visibility to do this effectively. That is why landing strips are very intricately lit up at night.

You are right bro

But it is better to fly during the day, instruments or not. Especially in a country like Nigeria where you might be following the glide path in, and then power cut at the airport: suddenly NO ILS, NO runway lights, NO beacons, NO radio contact with the tower, no nothing. At least if this happens during the day, you can still see the runway.

Visibility can also be obscured during the day. I can not count the amount of times aircrafts have been prevented from landing or take off due to low visibility cause by haze during the day. Day or Nights, you will still need the instruments.

This is not true. I do not know why people like saying negative things about Nigeria unnecessarily. While Nigeria can not be taken as a role model for things that work 100% in a country, the things highlighted in bold fonts are not true.

During power outages, there's enough backup power to keep these runway instruments on till power is restored. And power outages are not usually more than 4 to 5 minutes tops. Mind you these runway instruments are on 24/7 and there's priority for instruments at the runway than for you at the departure/arrival wing.

Saying there's no radio contact with the tower during a power outage is laughable. No pilot will bother landing if there's no clearance from the Air Trafffic controller and in worse case scenario will fly to the nearest airport if he can not establish communication.

One simple question, you mentioned no radio contact during a power outage , how is it better during the day? Are you saying that the pilot will land because he can see the runway during the day when other factors like Windshear, tailwind, aircraft already using the runway e.t.c have not been communicated to him by the Air Traffic controllers?

As much as you communicated some facts, some of the things you said are incorrect.

Yes, you are correct that ATC is largely dependent on electronics and frequency rather than electricity; however, saying that a pilot will not bother landing if there's no ATC clearance is almost false. There are situations, though rare where a pilot can land without ATC clearance. It all depends on certain factors, VFR or IFR, Airspace class, Airport Class, etc.

For instance, though uncommon, ATC have been known not to issue clearance to land because they simply forgot. In cases of emergency, weather, and other factors such as loss of comm, if you have enough visual, and there's no inherent danger or risk to safety, these are acceptable reasons to land without a clearance.

Landing without clearance is not a "legal/law issue that is set in stone, it's just a safety measure to properly space airliners. As for communication, there are landing light codes that signifies a failed communication radio, but we're not here to discuss that, therefore, a pilot will not fly to the nearest airport just because he/she has no communication with ATC.

It cost hundreds of $$$ to go around (fuel) and thousands depending on airliner size, not to talk of landing at another airport, which includes (weight and fuel), not to talk of runway restriction requirement, etc. A pilot in a more permissible environment would land at another airport in cases of national emergency, lost situational awareness of the pilot/airliner emergency or the airport is closed/no active runways.

One simple question, you mentioned no radio contact during a power outage , how is it better during the day? Are you saying that the pilot will land because he can see the runway during the day when other factors like Windshear, tailwind, aircraft already using the runway e.t.c have not been communicated to him by the Air Traffic controllers?

Flight operation is about visual & common sense first before instruments. As much as modern airliners today have some form of redundancy in their instruments, there's always that IF of failure. No ATC can better report/communicate any form of information better than the pilots experiencing it themselves. Only a pilot knows if he/she can stabilize and flare the aircraft in a wind-sheer, regardless of whether ATC tells him otherwise.

Common sense and visual will always truncate instruments on the panel. Pilots who relied on instruments more than their visual ended up killing people. I have at least two aircraft accidents to discuss with you to show you that wrong ATC information and instruments can and will FAIL you if you rely on it more than your judgment.

Pilots who fly in the day often rely on visual parameters regardless, if all things equal and normal operating standard, while pilots who fly at night, have limited/impaired vision and would often rely on instruments. Needless to say, factors such as wind-sheer or aircraft using the runway is irrelevant to whether day or night, but it can be well managed during clear visibility - (Tenerife) comes to mind reminding us that instruments can and will fail.
