I've seen pax who will put the belt on very loosely, just to satisfy the FA. It should be said that there have been other accidents with more serious damage than some of these listed here, but if the aircraft was repaired they do not appear.
The flight crew heard, but disregarded, thirteen Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) aural alerts (Glideslope and Sink Rate) and flew a 4.5° average glideslope.
So many accident mysteries could be solved.This 737 was fitted with IAN (integrated approach navigation) which uses the RNAV data and converts it into the same display on the PFD as an ILS, effectively every approach can be displayed as an ILS. At least good to hear that no lives were lost in this incident.By Captain Crunch on Saturday, Oct 6th 2018 15:32ZThe middle photo shows two islands in the background sitting the same direction the sinking airplane is lying, therefore, the aircraft must be facing South.
One passenger was found dead on Oct 1st 2018, 6 people were taken to the local hospital with serious injuries, 4 people were also transported to the hospital with minor injuries, the other occupants remained uninjured.By Simon Hradecky, created Thursday, Jul 18th 2019 14:55Z, last updated Friday, Jul 19th 2019 17:10ZReader Comments: (the comments posted below do not reflect the view of The Aviation Herald but represent the view of the various posters)I also think it's questionable that there are no cameras in the cockpit and monitoring runways. Dublon Island on the right matches the height differential at 150 feet high vs Fefan Island on the left at 800 feet.
The aircraft was evacuated, all passengers and crew were able to leave the aircraft. Absolutely unprofessional an reckless crew.. Or is the training standard so low in Air NG? Accident Reports.
On September 28, 2018, the flight, operated by a Boeing 737, landed short of the runway at Chuuk International Airport in Weno and came to rest in Chuuk Lagoon. Ignoring sinkrate and even PULLUP warnings.
I'm surprised the NTSB wasn't the primary investigative agency given the Compact of Free Association.By the previous anonymous on Thursday, Jul 18th 2019 19:13ZWith all the respect, spare me the technicalities. The flight path became unstable after autopilot disconnect. The Precision Approach Path Indicator was showing three white lights just before entering Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). Accident: Niugini B738 at Chuuk on Sep 28th 2018, touched down in sea short of runway.
Just an assumption: the dead passenger might not have fasten his seat belt.By Simon Hradecky on Thursday, Oct 4th 2018 13:10ZAt this time we only have the statement by the airport (tower) nad the airline stating that the aircraft landed short of the runway, as well as a passenger interview on the day of the accident (later the passenger did not uphold his assumption and stated he could be mistaken in that) that the passenger assumed they had landed on the runway and overran it.Only the most recent 30 comments are shown to reduce server load. This page is a complete list of all 174 Boeing 737 write-offs.
EGPWS showed a visual PULL UP warning on the Primary Flight Display. Strange that one passenger died when all others were not even injured. All condolances from me to the realtives and friends of the passenger.Maybe the pilots were missing the good feeling of bathing in the summer and wanted to get a little bath. The remaining 35 passengers and 11 crew escaped serious injury. @safety belt, another possibility is that he had the belt on, but too loose, and on impact, he "submarined" -- slid out from under it.
