“As a #proven #expert on #automated #electronic #computerized #control #systems, I am #asking the #question: Is this only happening on one #brand of #airplane and is it a certain set of #environmental #conditions that #sends the control #system into #instability, causing the #passengers and #crew to #hit the #ceiling?” #Author #StevenMagee SHOCKING! Turbulence on Air Europa Flight Throws Man Into Overhead Bin, 30 Injured...An Air Europa #Boeing 787-9 #Dreamliner, Flight UX045, experienced severe turbulence en route from Madrid, Spain, to Montevideo, Uruguay, resulting in an emergency landing in Brazil and injuring 30 passengers. The unexpected turbulence occurred on Monday and was so intense that it threw passengers from their seats, with one man even getting stuck in an overhead compartment. #ElectricalForensics #AirEuropa #AviationSafety #InFlightInjury #AirTravel #FlightSafety #Aviation #Turbulence https://lnkd.in/geVk8APh

A Tragic Reminder: Flight Safety and the Importance of Understanding Aircraft Behavior. Today, we mourn the loss of 61 lives in a tragic plane crash in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. The twin-engine turboprop ATR 72-500, operated by Voepass airline, was en route from Cascavel, Paraná to Guarulhos airport in São Paulo city when it came down in the town of Vinhedo. The aircraft was carrying 57 passengers and four crew members. Sadly, there were no survivors. Footage circulating on social media shows the aircraft descending vertically, spiraling as it fell – a sight that raises critical questions about the flight dynamics and possible causes of such an unusual descent pattern. As aviation professionals, it's crucial to analyze and understand the factors that can lead to such tragic incidents. A vertical descent often indicates severe aerodynamic issues, loss of control, or potential mechanical failures. Understanding these behaviors is vital for improving safety protocols and preventing future tragedies. While investigations are ongoing, this incident reminds us of the importance of rigorous maintenance, real-time monitoring systems, and continuous training for flight crews to handle emergency situations effectively. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims during this difficult time. Let's honor their memory by striving to make air travel as safe as possible. #AviationSafety #FlightSafety #AircraftMaintenance #AviationProfessionals #ATR72500 #Voepass #AviationCommunity

Investigation into LATAM 787 nosedive reveals possible cockpit pilot seat fault Further details have emerged about a mid-air incident involving a LATAM Airlines flight from Sydney to Santiago via Auckland on March 11, 2024. As previously reported by AeroTime, around 50 people were injured after a sudden drop of the aircraft while at cruising altitude on the Sydney to Auckland leg, in what the carrier initially described as a “technical issue”. The aircraft involved in the incident, a Boeing 787-9 registered CC-BGG, had departed Sydney (SYD) at 11:44 on the morning of March 11, 2024, heading for Auckland (AKL) in New Zealand with 263 passengers. Flight LA800 was due to make a short technical stop in Auckland before continuing its flight to Santiago de Chile (SCL), its final destination. According to reports, the flight encountered a “sudden drop mid-air” with about an hour left of its flight resulting in 50 passengers and crew sustaining injuries. The aircraft continued to Auckland where it made a safe landing two hours and 42 minutes later at 16:26 local time. Following the event, LATAM Airlines confirmed that flight LA800 had suffered a “technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement”.

One of the blows of fate for New York Airways that affected the airline's continued existence was the accident of 16 May 1977, when Flight 971, a Sikorsky S-61L helicopter, experienced a tragic accident. The flight took off from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and was carrying 20 passengers and a crew of three when it landed at the Pan Am Building rooftop heliport (JPB) in New York City. A few minutes after touching down at approximately 5:35 pm, the right main landing gear of the helicopter failed, causing the aircraft to roll over to the right. As a result, all main rotor blades struck the concrete helipad, leading to the tragic death of four waiting passengers who were struck by the blades. One of the blades, 8.8m (28 feet, 10 inches) long and weighing 95kg (209.3 pounds), flew out over the building's railing and fell alongside the building, and another segment of the blade fell to the street below, resulting in another fatality. Additional pieces of the main rotor blades were found up to four blocks north of the Pan Am Building. The helicopter assigned to Flight 971/972 was a Sikorsky S-61L, c/n MSN 61427, registered N619PA, with 6,913:15 hours on the airframe at the time of the accident. It is worth noting that just 7 hours and 22 minutes had elapsed since the last primary inspection. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation determined that the probable cause of the accident was: ". . . the fatigue failure of the upper right forward fitting of the right main landing gear tube assembly. Fatigue originated from a small surface pit of an undetermined source. All fatalities were caused by the operating rotor blades as a result of the collapse of the landing gear." The image taken from the Chrysler building shows the N6675D Boeing Vertol 107 on the rooftop Heliport in 1963.

✈️📢 Do you know what is a "Dutch roll"? ❗️On May 25th this year a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration N8825Q performing flight WN-746 from Phoenix,AZ to Oakland,CA (USA) with 175 passengers and 6 crew, was enroute at FL320 when the aircraft experienced Dutch Roll. The crew was able to regain control and landed the aircraft on Oakland's runway 30 about 55 minutes later. The aircraft sustained substantial structural damage. ➡️ Dutch roll is an aircraft motion consisting of an out-of-phase combination of "tail-wagging" (yaw) and rocking from side to side (roll). This yaw-roll coupling is one of the basic flight dynamic modes (others include phugoid, short period, and spiral divergence). This motion is normally well dampened in most light aircraft, though some aircraft with well-dampened Dutch roll modes can experience a degradation in damping as airspeed decreases and altitude increases. A similar phenomenon can happen in a trailer pulled by a car. #Aviation #Flightoperations #Dispatch
