hong kong plane crash

The aircraft accelerated normally but at a speed of slightly under 120 kt (as reported by the co-pilot) heavy vibration was experienced.

On hearing the 1 mile advisory, the captain reinforced it by telling the co-pilot to move to the right and a moment or two later, when looking across the cockpit, saw the sea about 100 ft below through the copilot's side window.

Rhe approach controller provided radar guidance to position the aircraft for an ILS approach to runway 31 and when it was at about 8 miles from touchdown, cleared the pilots to contact the precision controller.

There were 78 passengers and seven crew members crew members on board.

Manisha Nukavarapu, a second-year resident physician at East Tennessee State University’s Quillen College of Medicine, was among those killed in the plane crash Sunday, the school said in a statement. At the time of his death, he was working for the United Nations in Kenya promoting environmental protection and sustainable development.As the investigation into what brought down an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi on Sunday continues, a handful of airlines have announced they are grounding their Boeing 737 MAX 8s -- the type of jet that crashed.Singapore's decision appears to be the most far-reaching so far. The semi-autonomous city of Hong Kong reports 95 new cases and three additional fatalities reported. The similarities in the two crashes have left aviation safety experts and regulators around the world divided on whether the Boeing 737 MAX 8 is safe to fly. The aircraft was identified as VR-HFZ by two helicopter pilots who reached the accident site soon after the occurrence and while the wreckage was still burning. The co-pilot was flying the aircraft from the left-hand seat whilst the pilot-in-command occupied the right-hand seat to assess his performance. Only two Indian carriers have 737 MAX 8s in their fleets -- Spicejet has 12 and Jet Airways has five, according to the DGCA. Hong Kong citizen Victor Tsang Shing-ngai was one of the passengers killed in the plane crash Sunday, his alma mater the Chinese University of Hong Kong said in a statement. Both pilots were applying full brakes but neither of them felt the antiskid cycling.

On his feed, he also championed gender equality:Tsang had worked abroad in the nonprofit industry for years, the university said. The nosewheel and left main gear collapsed, and the aircraft continued until it crossed the parallel taxiway and slid sideways over the edge of the promontory into Kowloon Bay. The aircraft took off from Bangkok at 0455 hours GMT bound for Hong Kong via airway Green 67 at FL290. Operator: Registration: VR-HFX.

No turbulence of any importance was in fact experienced.

The Check captain occupied the jump seat behind the co-pilot from where he could monitor the performance of both pilots. After being cleared to descend to 2,000 feet, the airplane went out of control and crashed into the sea off the Waglan Island. Five seconds after this, the PAR controller save the 1 mile advisory and the information that the aircraft was going left of centre after which the aircraft increased its rate of turn to the right.

The wreckage was found few hours later. Both planes were brand new. The aircraft was totally destroyed upon impact and all 107 occupants have been killed. The aircraft continued to run straight some distance after initial braking was applied but then a veer to the right commenced. The propeller was feathered and the crew contacted ATC. Hong Kong - Denpasar - Sydney - Suva - Honolulu - Los AngelesFollowing an uneventful flight from Hong Kong-Kai Tak, the crew started the descent to Denpasa-Ngurah Rai Airport by night and limited visibility. Once the altitude of 300 feet was reached on descent, the IAS was 127 knots, about five knots above the planned speed.

The Distress Phase was initiated at 0715 hours and DETRESFA signalled to Tan Son Nhut RCC for appropriate action.

At 1 1/2 mile the aircraft was again a little right of centre line and at this time also interference from the heavy rain began to obscure PAR reception, firstly in elevation and, shortly after one mile, also in azimuth. MSN: 22-00-37M. The aircraft became airborne again and next contacted the ground 600 metres down the runway. It made a 55 minute stop at Bangkok during which 68 passengers and baggage were off loaded, and 35 passengers and baggage, in addition to 35 000 lbs of JP-1 fuel, were loaded.

The plane, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (registration B-150), was operated by subsidiary Mandarin Airlines on behalf of China Airlines.While landing during a typhoon, it touched down hard, flipped over and caught fire. The co-pilot flew the aircraft manually from the right-hand seat, whilst the Captain monitored the approach from the left hand seat and handled the R/T communications, the third pilot, who was acting as the system operator, also monitored the flight instruments.

Nukavarapu graduated from of Guntur Medical College in India. Correlation of the flight recorder readout and the R/T transcript indicates that-approximately 2 seconds after receiving the 1 1/2 mile advisory that he was a little to the right, the co-pilot made a left turn of 14°. All eight occupants were killed, five French citizens and three Chinese. Crash of a Convair CV-880-22M-3 in Hong Kong: 1 killed.
