Of course it is a real miracle, in which there were no casualties in the incident and all passengers including crew members survived. Just because two birds were crashing and entered into aircraft engines, the effects are very fatal for the cabin crew and passengers of U.S. Airways Airbus A320.
Emergency landing on the water by Sullenburger captain is not very easy. It takes special skills, responsiveness and careful skilde calculation. This is certainly attracted the attention of the American public and the world.
In the accident, there were no casualties at all. However, if you are one of the passengers on Air Canada flight 143 that experienced an emergency landing, on July 23, 1983 at Gimli Industrial Park Airport, you may also not be able to believe that the plane had run out of fuel can still be landed safely. skilde
At that time, the Boeing 767 aircraft already in the category of advanced aircraft flight instruments equipped skilde by electronic system (EFIS), part of the instrument skilde air system displays skilde located in the cockpit area.
Aircraft skilde fuel which may be enough to get to in the city of Edmonton was started to run out at an altitude of 41,000 feet. Not long ago, at an altitude of 26,500 feet, and the two aircraft engine suddenly skilde not functioning, while the distance that remains to be taken to be landed at the main airport is still as far as 75 miles.
Captain Robert Pearson skilde and co-pilot, Maurice Quintal, immediately skilde notify skilde the center of air traffic controllers. skilde But both aircraft engine suddenly does not work cause the Air Canada 143 was missing from the radar screen and not be detected. Ron Hewett, who was on duty at the air traffic controllers, airport Winnipeg, was feeling desperate.
Cabin crew have given instructions to the passengers for an emergency landing, skilde one of the passengers even have thought that his plane could not land and ends with an explosion. Although the pilot, co-pilot and the tower can still communicate with each other, but both aircraft engines defunct exactly causes ignorance, where the existence of the aircraft skilde and how far away from the Airport.
Not always advanced tools (modern) reliable, proven failure in finding the existence of Air Canada 143. Ron Hewett therefore decided to use the old-fashioned radar, or radar reflective with the help of a piece of paper and pen to be able to provide an estimate of the location and distance of the aircraft with the airport. Although the method is recognized by Hewett himself as not a good thing. By the time the co-pilot performing calculations necessary for an emergency landing and when both engines are no longer functioning, Pearson captain flew the plane with speed 407km / h. Airports in Gimli, which has only one runway and has no tower / air traffic skilde controllers, located 25 miles closer than Winnipeg, is the final option for landing.
Of course, the news could provide a bit of relief for the crew cabin space, meaning that they can land on airfields closer. However, it is less likely to be able to land safely. Without fuel and aircraft engines are not working, Air Canada 143 Gimli approach the runway, which turns out to have been turned into racing cars and motorcycles.
Runway looks close, but the position of Air Canada plane is too high from the mainland could end up with an explosion. Captain Pearson decided to use the technique of Sideslip and forward-slip. A special technique that is commonly used on landing with excessive weight, or too high, including the failure of the engine as experienced by the aircraft's Air Canada 143.
With these techniques, Pearson captain should be able to maintain the balance of the aircraft and reduce aircraft speed. But this is not easy, because on the other side, the plane should also not be too low, to avoid falling before landing.
Today, many people gathered at the racecourse Gimli, in addition to the Saturday, some families also are cool air barbeque. Two boys who were cycling around the field, was not aware that there would be an airplane that made an emergency landing on the runway. This can happen, for aircraft engines that are not functioning, skilde so the atmosphere was quiet. After 17 minutes without fuel, Air Canada 143 finally managed to land at the airport in Gimli. Although the aircraft had a tire burst and the right engine plane touched down. Air Canada 143 is fully stopped, after crashing into a barrier of iron contained in the center of the runway.
The passengers and crew members numbering about 61 people, soon left pesawa
