Chitchat Lion Air Again! Pole Stronger Than Aeroplane's Wing!

[JohnTan]

A Lion Air plane carrying 145 passengers was forced to abort its take-off from Indonesia's Bengkulu city on Wednesday night (Nov 7), after its left wing crashed into a pole.

Flight JT633 was due to depart Fatmawati airport in south-western Sumatra for Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 6.20pm.

Local media outlets reported that the left wing of the aircraft hit a pole in front of the airport's VIP building as it was moving off.

The plane was forced to return to the departure terminal, and passengers were placed on another aircraft that left for Jakarta at about 10.10pm, reported CNN Indonesia.

Facebook user Irsan Hidayat shared photos of the incident, showing a fragment dislodged from the wing of the aircraft.

Several people were seen on the tarmac with their belongings.

Indonesia's Ministry of Transport said on Thursday that it would be investigating the cause of the incident and taking follow-up measures.

The aircraft and pilots have been grounded while investigations are ongoing.

The incident had also resulted in flight delays for other airlines, including Batik Air.

Batik Air passenger Romidi Karnawan told CNN Indonesia that his flight to Jakarta, which was scheduled to take off at around 6pm, was delayed for about an hour.

Wednesday night's incident involving Indonesian low- cost airline Lion Air comes as the authorities extend search efforts till Saturday for victims' bodies and a second black box from the downed Flight JT610.

The plane plummeted into the Java Sea on Oct 29 en route to Pangkal Pinang from Jakarta, killing all 189 aboard.

This is the second time that the evacuation operation, which was initially supposed to end on Nov 4, has been extended.

Following the October 29th Lion Air plane crash in Indonesia which killed all aboard, Boeing has issued a safety warning for erroneous readings on the sensors of its 737 Max aircraft. The Operations Manual Bulletin directs all airlines operating the Boeing 737 Max to follow “existing flight crew procedures to address circumstances where there is erroneous input from an AOA sensor.”
AOA, or Angle of Attack, refers to the angle at which the oncoming flow of wind hits the airplane or its wings. Though the exact cause of the crash is unclear at the moment, investigators suspect that a software glitch or misinterpretation by pilots may have contributed to the accident, reports The Wall Street Journal.
A FAULTY SENSOR MAY HAVE BEEN TO BLAME
According to the “black box” data found in the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft, the airspeed indicator malfunctioned on its last four flights. The Lion Air aircraft, which had only been in use for a few months, is one of Boeing’s newest commercial aircrafts. The Boeing 737 Max 8 is currently in use by two US airlines, Southwest and American Airlines, though no issues have been reported by those airlines yet.
Following Boeing’s statement, the FAA has issued an airworthiness directive for the 737 Max which mandates safety protocols for US carriers, according to Bloomberg. The emergency order requires airlines to follow Boeing’s instructions if encountering the issue, which “could cause the flight crew to have difficulty controlling the airplane, and lead to excessive nose-down attitude, significant altitude loss, and possible impact with terrain.”
