Pray not to be in an Emergency situation like that

Sadly spectators are better players than Footballers on pitch themselves
Shut up , pilots are trained to be calm in situations like this

Last week I was going through my flight rader app , I noticed a certain flight going round and round for like more than 15 mins , I followed it up .
It was reported to have issues with one of his engines after take off , what the pilot did was to shut down the affected engine went round and round to dump fuel , then land safely

This Friday again , an American flight had a burning engine , the pilot did same thing and landed 250 passengers safely .

When u takeoff with full loaded fuel , if u notice any engine problem after take off and u want go back to the airport , u need reduce the fuel to the last minimum . It's not about being in any situation , pilots are trained to be calm in such situations

heendrix:
Are you dumb or just stupid?? so because he wasn't able to Land on some waterbody makes him less professional to a Foreign pilot?? Idiots like you are so Blind to the fact that he was professional enough to crash land the Plane on a Sparsely populated area thus reducing ground casualty effect. Or ur dumb self thinks Abuja is the SS where you virtually find water bodies every nooks and crannies

If at all you plan the whole day to remain senseless all ur life atleast save urself some days and disappoint urself to be sensible undecided
And to think that clown got 19 likes for his senseless oyinbo ass licking comment. Where is Rossiki to put this self haters in their place.

remember the pilot was a Nigerian pilot and not chesley sullenberger who landed a big, full aeroplane on the river,when he knew the rate of descent wouldn't make it possible to get to the closest airport after both engines failed. I still remember his communication with ground, very calm, confident, when he requested coastguard to move to River Hudson with 155 Passengers. Just imagine such incident happened on Nigeria and plane flown by a Nigerian pilot. That's d plane in the river and in d museum. No time.
you made sense. Did you know a similar incident happened yesterday (same day) In Denver, Colorado? Part of the failed engine even dropped on a neighbouring building but the pilot managed to get back to the airport safely, a few minutes after take off. All the NAF personnel need to be going out for simulation courses but never! The level of corruption is so high. Maybe had that brave girl killed last year in person of Arotile been alive she could have piloted that jet and made it back safely to the airport the moment that engine failed. See how they wasted that girl who would have been useful yesterday.

You are right he is not professional

Fuel was still intact

The pilot should have started dumping out fuel Immediately before returning back to the airport , from the result it shows he came back with all the takeoff fuel

RIP to them, thank God the Pilot decided to glide the aircraft out of densely populated areas and crashed in the bush
I tell you. Such a selfless service. The pilot deserves to be immortalized.

thanks a lot for this info. On Nigeria if you see the mago mago Dem dey do ? From aviation ministry to d minister office to the aircraft maintenance departments. Them dey release money for flight simulation. Only about 5 percent trickles down to d pilots, which will be embezzled by directors, having this mentality that nothing will happen. That plane rescue yesterday would have been a different story if it happened here in naija. See mighty engine wey fall for neighbourhood, and yet d pilots successfully landed. Na soso prayer of no consequence, you for dey hear inside dat plane till e crash and explode if na nigeria.

k lemme xplain y. Here in Nigeria, we don't get ourselves prepared cos of corruption. I wish you are aware of monies released and stolen for aircraft maintenance, diagnostics, and further training.

This narrative again underscore the imperatives of emergency preparedness,
The Pilot reportedly communicated his challenge to the airport some minutes prior to the crash. this ought to have put the emergency response unit on red alert.
Eye witness report has it that the plane was on ground with live passengers for about 30 minutes.
Imagine if the emergency response team had arrived to the scene with the right equipment about 10 - 25 minutes after the crash and get to work immediately
That explosion that killed occupants could have been averted.
Lives could have been saved.

It is unfortunate that we don't ever prepare for anything in this country.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
May the good Lord grant the family and friends of the bereaved the fortitude to bear the loss.
May God continue to have mercy on us and protect us from evil.

He probably thought he could manoeuver his way back to the airport. If he had dumped the fuel immediately the aircraft engine problem, he would have crashed in residential area.
I was also a victim of such occurrence once while flying out to offshore platform. Immediately the aircraft raised an egiine problem alarm, the pilot quickly manoeuvred and flew for about ten more minutes before landing safely at the brass terminal. The pilot is trained but he is a human being and no human is perfect. He did his best he could but the aircraft crashed.
May God give the family they left behind the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

My thoughts too....allowing the flight to crash with such volumes of fuel is so so unprofessional of the pilots

Last week on my flight rader app , I watched how American pilot did fuel dumping immediately after take off .

He noticed the engine problem after take off , he went to nearby Atlantic ocean did his fuel dumping and come back to land safely , had it been he came back with his full tank , the aircraft might burst into flames during landing , he shot down one (faulty) engine , dump his fuel and land the plane with one engine on

Dumping of fuel saves impact , in case of clash
