A PILOT error may have been at least partly to blame for Tuesday's fatal Singapore Airlines turbulence that left a Brit granddad dead.

A similar incident in the same week.

Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand

Another pilot claimed they were forced to divert around the same area just two days earlier.

Thunderstorms in the Bay of Bengal are reasonably common as the pilot said: "We were about 30 miles off track flying around the thunderstorms two days ago on the way to Singapore."

They take the same route hundreds times per year for decades, one fine day dis happens. Captain half zzz or iz really SIA bad luck. Oredy say amdk pilots more experienced and quick thinking.

will wait for the investigation report,
 SIA staff bonus may be affected by the findings.

How the pilot handled the chaotic situation is now a big question.

He is a hero to prevent the plane crash.

[ODA TETSURO]

He is a hero to prevent the plane crash.

Provided that he is AMDK, sure take credit. But now like haven't, so must be CECA.

maybe in trenches, pay half that is 4 mths the rest later at end of yr

So far took 4 times internal flight in India. The ceca pilots were quite skillful. When he saw thick cloud ahead he would announce in the PA system that he would bring the plane higher. Don't know if they can see turbulence ahead or not.

Surprised that the last trip few months ago, those ah neh really behaved very well in the plane, a great change compared to last time

[Napoleon Porlumpar]

obvious what...............straight away - they talk about turbulence but never check flight recorder yet............

so i knew.................either CECA pilot...............or the plane is a Boeing............

If CECA, SIA charm liao. Sure kena claim until pants drop. Then reputation also tarnish.

Is it really the pilot's error.


That is the BIG question

Looks like he might get F...k for not warning passengers of wearing safety belt or altering course to avoid heading into the patch when approaching turbulence patches. These patches should be picked up by  radar unless the radar is defective. Even my ship's radar can picked up rain cloud patches so can't think of any reason for not detected.

only after thorough investigationfrom the many parties will know

Anyway all possibilities still open, act of goat, human and plane.

Until preliminary report is out, some people confidence of travelling by plane may be dented.
Particularly those hurt may not live the same as in the past, so is important to know the reason.

Here's what the British have to say about the Sun.

"Why is everyone saying not to buy the UK paper The Sun?

In the large, rational sense, it's because the Sun is a tabloid that peddles mindless lies in order to make quick money."

In Sinkapoor, the truth can become untruth depending on the kangaroo courk

Tks all the bbfa armchair aviation sexperts for your input.

It looks that way

Captain didn't see plane heading into turbulence
He didn't warn passengers and turned seatbelt sign on.
Plunging 6,000 feet is unbelievable

So the turbulence is clear and not black, so cannot see? Or pilots sleepy and tired?

Read somewhere that the flight path is taken by many planes, so to determine whether the SQ pilots made proper judgement, investigators just need to compare the flight routes taken by other planes flying in front of and behind SQ321 to see if they had made a detour at the turbulence area.
