18 dead Plane Crash in Nepal
 
As it took off


[The pilot is the only survivor after
a domestic plane carrying 19 people skidded
off the runway and crashed while attempting
to take off in Nepal.]

one of many plane crashes in Nepal


one of the most dangerous airports is Kathmandu honestly




-----
cause of this crash, were the flaps extended? :think: because this is scarily similar to Northwest Airlines 255 in detroit back in 1987 where the pilots failed to extend the flaps before takeoff, killing 154 people and only 1 survivor

flaps generate lift, they are crucial for takeoff and also crucial for landing

It'll be interesting to see if you're right about what happened here @Nicky91

Tragic loss of life though, hopefully the victims families are doing everything that they can to stay strong.

yeah i think i am right

Quote:

Footage and eyewitness accounts indicated that the plane took off from the runway's southern side located in Koteshwor, making a sharp bank and falling with its wing tip striking the ground first. The plane caught fire on impact and skidded into a gorge east of the runway between an aircraft hangar and a radar station

definitely makes me think of misconfiguration of the flaps, pilot error


were the pilots rushing through their takeoff briefing?




but
Quote:

One airport official reported that "cracking noises" seemed to come from the plane prior to the crash
this makes me not think of pilot error, but maybe improper maintenance if the cracking noises were the flaps struggling to extend properly due to fatigue or something?



what the investigators need is the CVR if pilots mention extending flaps in their takeoff briefing or not
