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.] https://news.sky.com/story/plane-cra...rport-13184082 |
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:
definitely makes me think of misconfiguration of the flaps, pilot error were the pilots rushing through their takeoff briefing? but Quote:
what the investigators need is the CVR if pilots mention extending flaps in their takeoff briefing or not |
