Me I will never fly any Nigerian airline..

rotormast:



If you have important engagements , you will fly it. I remember when I didn’t have money for a shoe, I used to say I love sandals and that I will never waste my money buying a shoe

My mother-in-law was on that plane. I was able to get the report of the crash. I even have it on my drive somewhere.

Homeboiy:


People dey run up and down

From main gate to BDPA go to osasogie

3 dead

Na this night e happen

Jarus:


Dana's first engine failed about 30 minutes mid-air. Closer to Lagos than returning to Abuja.

He lost the the other engine later.

Beremx:
Boeing 737 again? That number is a curse to plane crashes.

Peace Airline should do something about their it. Haaaa!!

LabDNA:
Sometimes it's just the emotions of the pilots that actually mastermind the cause of plane crashes. If they follow SOPs, and routine checks without beclouding their sense of judgement, there will be hardly any crash.

wesley80:

Sad to hear. I've always wondered if FAAN and the local aviation industry learn anything from crashes in the country. From the little I know watching ACI on NatGeo, there's always an important lesson from every air mishap and shrouding Air crash investigations in secrecy is counterproductive.

BeStroNG:


How many engines does a plane have?

PreyingMantis:
Not with the Ethiopian 737 Max. The pilot had no answer to that

seunlayi:

.. Not only Miami why not jupiter

Monogamy:
Boeing with engine failure...

Even Aero contractor with their cupboard aircrafts been delivered since time immemorial

Recommendations are made but the question is are they followed? I remember when we finally got to identify and claim her body a month later, while waiting for the death certificate, one lady who lost her uncle on the same flight told us that on that day, when the pilot declared a mayday, the ATC in charge of the flight immediately handed the plane over to a JUNIOR member who had no idea about the crisis at hand. By the time he got up to speed, the plane had already hit the ground. In a saner climate, those recordings would have been heard and the ATC would have been fired for negligence and even jailed.

I also heard that the plane was not supposed to fly back to Lagos that day. The management demanded that it return to Lagos that evening, even after they were told it was due for a quick service. They insisted it turn back immediately. If the plane had remained in Abuja, I'm sure the mechanics would have detected the problem when performing the engine inspection.

According to the report - and i have it in front of me as I type this - "Engine number 1 lost power seventeen minutes into the flight, and
thereafter on final approach, Engine number 2 lost power and failed to respond to throttle movement on demand for increased power to sustain the aircraft in its flight configuration."

"The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) retained about 30 minutes 53 seconds of the flight
and started recording at 1513:44hrs by which time the Captain and First Officer (F/O)
were in a discussion of a non-normal condition regarding the correlation between the
engine throttle setting and an engine power indication. However, they did not voice
concerns then that the condition would affect the continuation of the flight. The flight
crew continued to monitor the condition and became increasingly concerned as the
flight transitioned through the initial descent from cruise altitude at 1522:00hrs and the
subsequent approach phase."

If the pilots had requested a return when they first detected the problem, or even diverted to an alternate airport I'm sure they would have landed safely. The sad part to it all was that they were already in Lagos and were on final approach. If only the plane had remained just three more minutes in the air, they would have landed.

Well, like they say, hindsight is 20/20. May they continue to rest in peace.

When you think you are trying to run down aero contractors ( mind you they don’t manufacture airplanes ) and Boeing (non manufacturers of jet engines ) you end up displaying your ignorance in an embarrassing way. With my very limited knowledge if jets I know that most Boeing engines I’ve seen are manufactured by GE and RR .

SarkinYarki:


Boeing doesn't make engines please , you don't know how plane work ehh? And Aero uses the same 737 - 500 so what's cupboard about that ?

sofiscatedmoron:
one engine is enough to fly u from lagos to Miami
the second ,3rd or 4th engine is for back up

SarkinYarki:
The crew flew by the book , one engine lost thrust at V2 the pilots followed the safety checklist by making an air return with the remaining engine . Great flying , this is the simple procedure the crashed Dana's captain refused to heed since he didn't want to miss his own flight to the US

wesley80:

Clear case of negligence it would seem. Wondering if compensation was paid to families of the victims.

baba,one engine can not fly a boeing 747 or an airbus A380 from lagos to miami.... think well. how do you expect only one engine to produce thrust for an aircraft weighing thousand of tones with passenger on board.
one engine can only work for about 45mins which in turns give the pilot an opportunity/time to look for the nearest airport to land.
747 is designed to utilize 4 engine at once, but can run perfectly on 2 engine
and a two engine aircraft can run perfectly with one engine sir


one engine to fly from Lagos to maimi on a journey of almost 14hrs.. wen no be cesena light aircraft..... Nawa o
