SkyNewsHD reports
its a sub section, of the Airport.

Dutch Company owns this plane.

Let's hope our Nicky has an update


The Nearby Rugby Club
and Golf Club
have now ended their session early.

2 other planes were due to land there,
they have now landed in Gatwick.

…another devastating/tragic aircraft incident…and for those on the ground watching also and waving to the pilot and then watching it all become a fireball…incredibly tragic…

we don't know as for now who was on board of that jet, if it were tourists, or some high profile VIP

Sky News said it could be a Medical Plane
so well less people in it.


I do hope the People behind this plane
give a update soon.

Confirmed all 4 on the plane died


News conference 3PM

since this plane veered to the left after takeoff, my initial thoughts are this could be a case of assymetric thrust

so this could be either

1) improper center of gravity due to overloading, since it was a medical transport aircraft, it might've been carrying specialized equipment, possibly even a stretcher, and if the weight was not balanced properly, this could lead to a loss of control

2) Mechanical or Flight System Faults: either failure of one engine—especially at low altitude—requires precise corrective input? or A misconfigured rudder trim, flap setting, or even a stuck control input could turn fatal that quickly.

3) Pilot Actions and Condition: Were the pilots fatigued or under stress? Any preexisting health issues could also play a role in reaction times. like with TAROM flight 371

4) Environmental and External Factors: The weather was reportedly clear, but wind shear or even bird strike can’t be ruled out yet. or Any obstruction near the runway? Fuel contamination?

also witnesses saw the pilots waving at people before departure, so much for a sterile cockpit then


especially at takeoff, you need full attention at takeoff and nothing else

fatigue could play a role

i mean from Athens to Pula, 2 hours and 10 minutes

Pula ground operations (unloading, loading and refueling) 40 minutes

Pula to London, 2 hours and 20 minutes


thats a total of 5 hours and 10 minutes, which would've given them 2 hours and something for rest and a meal



hmmmm that is quite a workload for these pilots

theory: what about the payload?
 

how about if there were a couple of full oxygen tanks on board?


.


could also be a probable cause :think:

they used up approx. 3.500-4.000 feet of runway before they took off


normally a aircraft of this size takes up 2.500-3.000 feet of the runway in normal circumstances



so was it too heavy?

it were dutch pilots, and one of the passengers was a nurse named Maria, it was her first time being a nurse on board this medical transport

…yeah I read that earlier…her first day on her job…/…31yrs old…at the moment not all identities have been confirmed, I believe…

Maria Fernanda Rojaz Ortiz…
