SIA A380 Makes Emergency Landing

[Jlokta]

Look dude: they discovered potential cabin pressure problems SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING HEATHROW.

They could have turned back to Heathrow or landed nearby at Charles De Gaulle, Rome, Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich etc.

WHY DIDN'T THEY.

Not in the "published guidelines"?

Full of crap is what it is.

Plane is fully loaded with fuel,its not as easy doing a 'U-Turn' as in a car.

Also, the initial warning could be due to a faulty sensor.

If faults were found prior to takeoff, I'm sure the Captain would not have taken over the aircraft.

I wonder wtf is in charge of maintaining the aircraft,........maybe the seals are all made in china?....

Fucking poor quality chinese shit will be the death of us all......

LHL will tell you it is an isolated incident

 

[sadshishamo]

I dont think any reputable airline would dare to do that. Such unapproved parts or material easily fail and their failure can cause major problems such as aircrashes or diversions.

If an unapproved part was found to be the cause of the accident or incident then the insurance will not cover the event and the airlines would have to bear the full cost which would surely include lawsuits for using inferior and unapproved parts.

Can crash land into the sea if the jumbo A380 miss the Runway...

 

[sadshishamo]

The new airport in Tehran ( Khomeini ) is very modern and would have been a good choice. Unfortunately after the decompression the aircraft has about 30 mins worth of oxygen for the passengers , by which time it must be flying at 10,000 feet altitude for oxygen availability purposes.

To divert to Tehran at this point is not possible because the high ground in that area would require the aircraft to be flown at around 14,000 feet for a period longer than the oxygen supply.

To fly a routing to tehran below 12,000 to 14,000 feet would 100% result in flight into terrain .

In the SMRT problem we found out that some maintenance problems included using the incorrect parts to save $ e.g. using plastic ties

With a plane the margine of error is tighter. If you ignore maintenance it can cost lifes. Maybe someone ignored a worn out part or re-installing a parts the wrong way. With such a complex plane there is many things that can go wrong.

In the past I've avoided flying SIA because of cost & the way they treat Sporeans e.g. pinkerton syndrome:o
However now there are doubts about the safety standards of SIA. It is after all a Sporean GLC & as a GLC $$$ is more important than minor things like safety. There are probably a few paper generals in there too Anyone who has done NS will no doubt be concerned.

As a GLC they will of course try to down play the incident. Maybe it is not SIA's fault, may just be another 50 year fluke

U too? I thought I was the only one. If u are a singaporean flying SQ, u will get treated like shit. Unless, u are a s'porean flying first class or business class, they don't care about u. I ever experienced placing a drink order with a Flight attendent at the same time as an angmo 2 seats away. he ordered an alcoholic drink, while i order a soda, and he got his order 20 mins before me. Fucking bitches, I swear they are trained by SQ to discriminate against sinkies.

ON the other hand, Japan airlines treat asian males like royalty, even in economy.

Land in Teheran? Yeah right. The first thing the Iranians will do is to separate out all passengers carrying jewish and US passports. U will never see them again unless there is some miraculous hostage rescue raid.

 

[sadshishamo]

Such political considerations are taken into account whenever possible but the overriding factor would always be to land safely ASAP if the situation is severe enough.

There are times when a Captain and his crew may elect to bust legalities to ensure survival. For example a B777 may not be allowed tolegally land at some short runway airfields but if there were an uncontrollable fire then the crew would have to land at the nearest airfield legal or not.

Similarly the political considerations, if it could be done to avoid complications it obviously would but there may be times when it is unavoidable.

Tehran will surely be friendly, especially since PAP loves America which Iran hates

 

[Lionheart]

I think the pilot and his crew did a great job.

Well done SIA!!!

I am Singaporean and in almost 15 years travelling with SQ at least once a month. I have never felt badly treated even when in economy. On the occasions the crew have been indifferent, they were that way to everyone. I will agree service standards are getting lower and it won't be long till it gets pretty ordinary, but that is across the board. I will stop flying with them when I have to pay premium prices for an ordinary experience.

The minute sanctions are lifted SQ will be the first to fly there.

I have already migrated to Thai Airways and JAL.... SQ simply sucks.

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

As a frequent SQ traveller to London, I am giving serious consideration to Emirates or Qatar for this route when I fly economy (i.e. I pay myself). The price difference is now worth the sacrifice of a brief lay over in Dubai or Doha. SQ is really feeling the heat from these Middle Eastern carriers to the extent that even revenue generating Premium passengers will move across.

For the time being, for Business Class, when my company pays, I will probably continue with SQ.

I totally agree. The SIA staff are still the best cabin crew in the world. I feel very at home with the staff and we can really talk shop and ask for some special privileges. SIA is still the best for me.
