I would assume the same. If it was indeed a report stemming from the ACARS unit, I would think after two emergency landings, they would ground the plane and look into it. If it was something simple like a warning light flickering (which is taken very seriously), they would check it. A lot of times, they find that it is just a simple short circuit in the wiring from constant vibration.
I hope that the French recover the black boxes. I don’t trust the Egyptians to tell the truth about what happened.
well, it’s a safe bet I’m not getting on any airplane with the name EGYPT on it.
Sounds pretty dicey to begin with.
Once again,”If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going!”
Wasn’t the aircraft a substitute for the originally scheduled plane? Perhaps the original plane had these problems.
shouldnt matter what the passengers want or do not want, thats the capts job to determine safety of the AC.
Not a lot of info on what exactly the faults were that cause E landings, but it had to be something major else they would have just continued on.
And there it is. Somebody is throwing doubt bombs onto the terrorist theory.
The flightradar24 link now shows no files on its history
"Sorry, but we could not find data for specified flight"
Quote from Heavy.com link:
"It’s registration is SU-GCC.The plane flew from Cairo to Paris earlier on May 18 and was making a return trip, according to FlightRadar24. You can see its full flight history here.
The plane had also flown from Asmara, Eritrea, where it had been overnight, to Cairo, and then from Cairo to Tunis, Tunisia. From there, it flew back to Cairo and then to Paris.
Routine maintenance checks were performed on the plane before the final flight from Paris to Cairo, officials told CNN.
moozlums...it’s moozlums.
Just curious, where are the Black boxes? This story is getting no attention as the media is focused on #Gorillalivesmatter and dirtying up Trump.
It wasn't the nest that was the worry, it was the mouse droppings.
After all, Mousy Dung was the cause of the deaths of millions of Chinese...
Not a western pilot.
A muslim? insh'allah...
I wonder if the mechanics just killed the sensor causing the alarm on the third incident.
I’m still going with cyber-hack, a case in which nothing would actually be “as it seems.” If it’s been proven that a passenger can gain access to the flight control system from his laptop (it has), just think about what a nation state can do that has access to satellites and highly specialized, persistent malware (virtualized rootkit technology).
We’ll find out many years from now that high-level scientists in the airline industry knew all along but decisions were made to keep it secret. It’s not feasible to replace all hardware on every airplane, so to avoid an overnight collapse of the airline industry, they’re buying time to find solutions. We’re looking at the equivalency of the 1960’s “tobacco causes cancer” knowledge that was held from the public, except on a much larger scale.
Everyone, go ahead and bookmark this for 2030, when people everywhere will be saying, “Biy, that Nitz was a genius, wasn’t she?” ;-)
“Biy”
Lol! A genius who has big thumbs.
Reason #6 why I don’t fly anywhere, anymore, and haven’t since TWA 800 went down, in 1996. If I can’t drive there, I don’t need to go, and I’m not going.
News reports from yesterday, google is your friend, research it yourself.
I’ve found that most journalists really are morons. The simply don’t know what they don’t know.
Don't worry .... maybe a 45 minute delay
and you're wondering ... and looking around ... and maybe commenting to the passenger next to you
An hour and fifteen minutes later, you're back on the taxi ramp ... revving .... moving ... taking off and you're in the air again ...Some time later, the captain announces there is a slight problem and you have to make an unscheduled landing for the maintenance guys to look at something .... not to worry .... short delay .... everything is alright .... just want to make sure ...
ARE YOU STAYING ON THIS PLANE ?
You and I have no further conversation because I got up, forced the door open and slid down the chute into the arms of the police ... IDC ... I'm alive.
Even worse is their utter arrogance about it. They look in a mirror and think it's a window.
