Flight QF29, which took off from Melbourne on April 7 and flew to Hong Kong on a Boeing 747, suffered a stall accident in the middle of the day, 110 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong, and a total of 15 passengers were slightly injured.
The captain reported that in the middle of the way, the captain felt an abnormal tremor on the fuselage, while the tremor (Stick shaker) was triggered. This is a stall warning device, when the tremor rod is activated, it will directly cause the aircraft joystick jitter and make a noise warning to the captain aircraft that the stall may occur. Faced with possible stall conditions, the captain eventually stabilized the aircraft after maintaining it at an altitude of 22000 feet (about 6705 meters).
ATSB (Australian Transport Safety Bureau) announced that the cause of the accident would be announced within a few months after all crew members had been interviewed.
At the same time, ATSB also said: "the crew had cut off the autopilot and turned to manual control to solve the stall problem. A total of 15 passengers were slightly injured in varying degrees. "
According to the crew, the accident lasted about 2 minutes. Eventually, the plane landed safely at the Hong Kong airport, where medical personnel on standby immediately treated the injured, one of whom was taken to hospital by ambulance for further diagnosis and treatment.
A spokesman for Qantas confirmed the incident and said: "on a flight from Melbourne to Hong Kong, there was a severe jitter during the flight. We have also reported the incident to the ATSB, and our own team is investigating the cause of the accident. "
After repeated checks by the plane technician, the plane departed Hong Kong Airport that night for Melbourne.
Fortunately, the trouble was solved by the captain in time, but the 2 minutes of panic time, just think of the fear ~
Usually, there are too many air crash movies. Every time you get bumpy on a plane, Xiao Wei will be surprised by his own heart. ~ then he can make up a series of air crash scenes. (fortunately, he has not encountered the situation of over-selling air tickets, otherwise it is not a false alarm. But was properly beaten ~)
Did you encounter any stories of "the brink of life and death" when you were on the plane? Say it, and let everyone "feel the same way" ~
