Frightful Experience On Arik Plane by ultim: 7:14pm On Aug 09, 2022
On the 28th July, I think it was the last Arik plane from Portharcourt to Abuja.

Mid air, turbulence was announced and shortly after that, the plane literarily dived to a dept that made the passenger quake and adjust for safety. They muttered different prayers and shortly after the plane continued smooth cruising, people were piling up to the plane's toilet. After landing at the airport, the Arrivals toilet was also filled up by same passengers.

A friend ( a pilot that flies private planes) sent text to me telling me that the pilot of that Arik plane told him that passengers didn't know that God saved them. That the plane was almost 'plucked' off the skies.

May we stay safe especially now that people avoid road transport

I have been watching videos of turbulence and one of the ways pilots fight turbulence is to drop some feet.

So in a way, the pilot did right but your last submission about what another pilot said, that is hard to believe.

Air turbulences are quite regular, and I've been in a couple of them, but what you should pray NOT to have is wind shear. That can rip the plane right down to the ground due to sudden changes in pressure.

The Ethiopian Boeing 787 Dreamliner that crashed few years ago and the horendous Bellview airline that crashed violently cockpit first into the ground at Lisa in Ogun State in the 2000s did so because of wind shear!
