Sat tracking and monitoring ?
Hey guys, My company's management is quite progressive and we are flying operational approaches and departures around Sudan at crew discretion.
I'm quite disturbed that given the current situation in Dafur that your company still expects a normal standard arrival profile ?
God forbid that anyone else gets hit, but if that happend do you recon the company management would be like " Hey guys we just had our plane get shot down but the good thing is that they were nicely stabilised and in the slot at the time ." ???? WTF.
Still, 2 days after this incident we have heard nothing , nada, niks, iziko, diddly squat , sweet F/A officially from anyone in UNMID/UNMIS/UNHAS about this or the implications of this on the aviation security situation at Nyala airport.
Arend have you guys received any gen on this ?
We spoke to the crew who flew the 2 recovered bodies to El Fasher, they said that there were bullet wounds on one of the bodies.
Methinks that the UN are stalling for time because if they have to confirm that the chopper was shot down ( as eveyone in Nyala from army to police to ATC to the local eye witness's say it was) then the UN is going to have to jack up their operation here or pullout.
If anyone gets any further gen on this then please post it.
In the meantime keep the circuits tight and from the Northern side of the airport.
