where are the regulatory authorities? Where are those concerned with the safety of people's live? When mishap happens (God Forbids) you see everyone running around like they care. Forgeting that Prevention is always better than cure. |

Naija, we hail thee! Runway headlights not working Plane crashing Aviation minister cannot be contacted Dana aircraft flight data recorder sent to the United States for analysis to determine the cause of the crash because not a single soul in 168 million people knows how to analyse a data recoder Some of the relatives of the victims (who bodies were burnt beyond recognition) will have to wait up to 50 days to get the bodies of their loved ones because DNA samples have been sent abroad to identy the remains, cos not a single soul in 168 million people can do DNA analysis. YET..... most of us know what goes on in heaven, and even speak one-on-one to jesus christ everyday, some speak in heavely languages, know what the mind of God is on any matter, know what the will of God, what God permits & what he does not permit Yet ordinary toothpick, we don't produce Shiooor!!! 3 Likes |

poeple shld relax in this forum if they dnt understand things. and LEADERSHIP NP shld be querried for inclding "another air crash was averted" the authorities awarded a contract to refurbish runway lights, contractors promised they wii finish before 5pm, planes were taken off n landing during the day. but contractors coudnt finish as promised. so all flights bil to land at night was directed to land in lagos. yet nobody has blamed contractor. why are we so bias abt everything in govt. |
Re: Blackout At Abuja Airport Prevents Planes From Landing by Nobody: 11:02am On Jun 09, 2012 |
If the runway light repairs were in progress, all flights were supposed to be re-routed within a 24hrs time frame to enable them test-run the lightnings first. After which they route back the flights. |

Jakumo: Failed runway lights would prevent landings, but aircraft could still take off under the illumination of their own multiple high-intensity floodlights. CuteTj: Very true. While driving on road at night, you have an idea of the track courtesy of your headlamp but when you're airborne and approaching the runway, you need the runway lights to help you navigate your way to enable you land. The bold pilot knows he cannot take off with the runway lights off because he will violate the rules that state he must not. The rules take into consideration the following factors: 1. Should the plane need to come back to make an emergency landing, what happens? 2. Should the plane lose its electric generators [/b]during take off, what happens? 3. Should the [b]safety margin [/b]be halved or doubled under any circumstance? 4. [b]Are there any old bold pilots? |

bennyraz: I just wonder if the headlights or whatever lights this aircraft's carry can't illuminate their vision. Everything the Nigeria Government does is almost like a Joke. If the Planes landing had to land on Emergency, what will happen? re-route back to lagos abi? GEJ i hail thee! atleast most of the crashes in the past has been blamed on the incapability or inexperience of the Pilot and his crew, I wonder what they would have blame this on The honest truth is our Aviation Authorities suck big timeis Gej the cause?. Will Gej die for u because he's the president?. |

alj harem: Another Air Mishap Averted In Abuja As Runway Lights Went Off Like seriously?? I weep 4 my country! Who are those who hustled to get the refurbishing contracts of the runway and cldnt deliver? Anything goes! Ofcourse, this company knew that if they didnt complete, nothing wld happen, "its Nigeria Na, nothing go happen jor, make we just do wetin we fit do today, we go continue tomorrow if we get power" I'm sure the said contractors said to themselves, forgetting they were paid and given deadlines!!! We all need to wake up and stop putting all d blame on d govt, FG saw a need for refurbishing and took actions. We just need to be upright and diligent in our duties! smh! |
Re: Blackout At Abuja Airport Prevents Planes From Landing by Nobody: 11:19am On Jun 09, 2012 |
Okay let's analyse this problem since someone made a comment ealier that we should criticise constructively... What courses runway lights to go off? Power failure is the obvious course. Should the Aviation Minister resign? Yes because I think she is incompetent. If I am the Aviation Minister in a country with erratic power supply, the first thing I'm gonna do is go round all the Airports in the country and embark on a major upgrade. One of my major upgrade plan is to make sure that the generators that power all the Airports are reliable ( 27/7), and constantly maintained. There will be multiple sources of power generators in each Airports, so if one is being repaired, the other will be in use. On plane maintenance and records: I will ensure that every plane over 5 years that flies within and outside Nigerian Airspace is subjected to a 3-month MOT. A team of experts (paid Boeing And Airbus Engineers from Europe and America), check the air-worthiness of the Plane every 3-month and any plane with the slightest fault is grounded and issued a warning. If the same Airline fails this test again, I will automatically revoke their licence and tell them to reapply after 2 years. I'm not an aviation expert, I'm just a sensible patriotic Nigerian with due diligence. |

Idi-Amin:@ least, its better to wait for 50 days than having to wait for 7 and 6 years before being informed by the Minister for Aviation that the Sosoliso, ADC and Bellview crash reports are now ready. |

cupid4ig: how does this GEJ fault?2 months after GEJ took over as Ag President, some of his supporters were claiming here on NL that hGEJ has permanently solved the power problem. What do you expect now? If this had been a success story, he and his supporters would have taken credit for it |

Everything the Nigeria Government does is almost like a Joke. If the Planes landing had to land on Emergency, what will happen? planes need beacon on ground to allaign planes with the runway in case the pilot cant make visual landing.in case of emergencies planes can still land without light.but which experienced pilot will want to take that risk? |

obo_man: Okay let's analyse this problem since someone made a comment ealier that we should criticise constructively... True patriotism is only exhibited from a citizen of a nation only when the citizenry have collectively felt the positive impact of their government. There are horrible roads everywhere also known as 'death traps' were the responsibility is pushed between the FG and State governments. There is no steady electric supply, infact it's as if there's no power at all and yet most pay FULLY for the monthly high tariff electricity bill which isn't fully supplied to us in fear of permanent disconnection, more like we are paying surcharge for the usage and possession of personal electric generator. Take a 360• view everywhere in this AMALGAMATION called Nigeria and tell me something good that has benefited the common Nigerian...is it "Reps throw out bill seeking to prevent members of the National Assembly from defecting to another political party", or "Reps probe report indicts NNPC, others; NNPC Diverted N3 trillion from Federation Account, Reps reveal; Reps to investigate N14billion misappropriation in Justice ministry". Yours at best is considered as bind patriotism. |

Jakumo: Failed runway lights would prevent landings, but aircraft could still take off under the illumination of their own multiple high-intensity floodlights. Na you sabi that one. Then when something happens the airline will start telling tales. |
Re: Blackout At Abuja Airport Prevents Planes From Landing by Reference(m): 1:42pm On Jun 09, 2012 |
Idi-Amin: Oga you don't have an aerospace industry, wetin concern you with analysing content of black box, abi that one na work again. The black box of any aircraft will end up in the country of manufacture or with the nationals concerned and you'd do well not to tamper with it or risk voiding any liability arising from faulty design and manufacture. If you want to completely be in charge, make your own aircraft. |

Jakumo: Failed runway lights would prevent landings, but aircraft could still take off under the illumination of their own multiple high-intensity floodlights. So why didn't any of them take off? If you were one of the pilots would you have taken off? |
Re: Blackout At Abuja Airport Prevents Planes From Landing by AnotherOkija: 4:02pm On Jun 09, 2012 |
The runway lights were being fixed and the contractor couldnt finish on-time so the planes were diverted to lagos.. Thats safety!! Fhuck the OP for that misleading topic. |
