The FlyDubai jet crashed while attempting to land
A passenger jet has crashed in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don killing all 55 passengers and seven crew on board, officials say.
The FlyDubai Boeing 737-800, coming from Dubai, missed the runway as it attempted to land at 03:50 local time (00:50 GMT) on Saturday.
It is not clear what caused the crash but poor visibility and high winds are being considered as a factor.
There were reports of a fire or an explosion on board.
Reports say the plane abandoned its initial attempt to land and circled for two hours before crashing at the second attempt.

It came down about 250m (800ft) short of the start of the runway in Rostov, some 950km (600 miles) south of Moscow.
Most of the passengers on board flight FZ981 were Russian, the regional governor said. Another official said three foreigners were on the passenger list, Reuters reported, but this has not been confirmed.

A CCTV video showed what appeared to be a plane landing at the airport before being engulfed in a huge fire.
About 700 rescue workers were sent to the site of the crash and the fire was extinguished, media reports said.
A search is under way for the plane's flight recorders and an investigation has been opened into the cause of the crash.
Other flights have been diverted away from the airport.

Poveri loro e le rispettive famiglie.
Sono addolorato per la tragedia anche perché sento da vicino la cosa, ho tanti amici che lavorano in quella compagnia. Sono però allo stesso momento arrabbiato per come purtroppo l'aviazione si è trasformata in peggio, continue pressioni subdole da parte del management e sfruttamento massimo di ogni singolo minuto delle FTL e dei mille altri vari cavilli.

Tornando al discorso per quanto riguarda la Russia non ho mai avuto problemi per quanto riguarda i dirottamenti a differenza invece della Cina dove ad esempio non puoi assolutamente cambiare l'alternato in volo rispetto a quello dichiarato sul piano di volo. In alcuni casi non è possibile chiedere di evitare per meteo senza ALCUNA eccezione manco in mayday. I cinesi si che sono strani.

Ramones 20th Mar 2016 07:18

Hai ragione molti buoni spunti uno mi interessa particolarmente :
Chiamati di STBY notturno
Stasera per esempio di sono di stby dalle 22 alle 06, ieri ho fatto un fdp di
1130 atterrando alle 2250
Oggi dovrei quindi dormire nel pomeriggio per essere pronto alle 22 a volare tutta la notte.
Ma il problema sorge se non ti impiegano per he' avendo dormito di pomeriggio, la notte difficilnente si riesce a dormire quindi il giorno dopo sei rinco.
Secondo punto importante la pressione Che puoi sentire sulle spalle da parte del management , e su questo oggi che e' giorno di condoglianze e non di polemiche mi fermo qui

Sinceramente non conosco i loro limiti di impiego e tantomeno cosa hanno fatto nei giorni precedenti all'incidente.

Tuttavia (se è vero quello che è stato scritto sul secondo articolo che ho postato) davanti vi erano 2 Comandanti....se così fosse anche questo è un elemento che merita attenzione....

Guardando le immagini ci sono detriti sulla pista , avrebbe toccato per poi riprendere quota...

S7EVIN 20th Mar 2016 14:37

Ma vi interessate all'accaduto o scrivete tanto per?

Ha riattaccato a 3 miglia dalla pista... Ci credo che ci sono detriti ma perché nel terreno ci si sono infilati.

Nick 1 20th Mar 2016 14:53

Chiedo scusa se ho urtato la tua conoscenza dei fatti .
Io avevo capito che aveva riattaccato e poi era precipitato lontano dalla pista.

S7EVIN 20th Mar 2016 14:57

Basta leggere e in questo caso anche ascoltare essendoci le registrazioni e senti come il tono della chiamata di go around sia un po' troppo calmo per suggerire una toccata.

L'ultimo video e' impressionante, sono caduti balistici, nemmeno una minima variazione di traiettoria da quando escono dalla base delle nuvole, la visibilità sotto e' buona. L'angolo di impatto e' abbastanza accentuato, l'esplosione è tremenda, sicuramente il carburante presente non è a quantità ridotte. Se è stato un microburst e' stato violentissimo ed inesorabile.

Per quanto riguarda la scatola nera e le investigazioni a mio avviso la crisi in Siria, che vede opposte Russia contro il mondo arabo schierato nell'asse Arabia Saudita Turchia, crea più facilmente un ambiente fertile ad investigazioni serie. Per di più sono morti tanti russi e Putin che gioca sulla leva del nazionalismo avrebbe un ritorno di immagine più proficuo a tirar fuori responsabilità che vanno oltre a quelle dei piloti.

In ogni caso io sono sempre a priori contro ogni ipotesi complottistica, al giorno d'oggi è sempre più difficile nascondere le cose, le fonti di informazioni sono troppe, le tracce lasciate anche e le persone coinvolte direttamente sono decine se non centinaia.
Già girano le voci riguardo al fatto che sia tutta una montatura e nessun aereo si sia effettivamente schiantato.

La stupidità umana non ha fine, forse è meglio che certa gente rimanga confinata a vedere il grande fratello o la pupa e il secchione.

Un ultimo pensiero a tutte le vittime e alle loro famiglie. È sempre una cosa straziante.
Possano riposare in pace

RaymundoNavarro 22nd Mar 2016 13:52

Eccola Ramones....grazie!

The following may or may not have helped to inspire AAR to conduct the upcoming meeting. At least it may serve as some food for thought. Earlier this year the report below was filed and acknowledged by EASA and the FAA. The report was also shared with the Office of HH Sheikh Mohammed with the explanation that EK’s pilot shortage is not due to global factors but home made. From there it was delivered to the GCAA. As far as I know the FAA is actively investigating.


“…as a former Emirates pilot I want to report the lack of regulatory oversight and effective labour laws in the UAE. Emirates operates its long-haul fleet with unprecedented "crew productivity" at a crew factor near 7. That is impossible to match for any major Western airline. The issue reported in the WSJ on April 9, 2015 is still not rectified. This is a ticking time-bomb for flight safety and crew health. I highly recommend that you require a rolling 12 month duty record for any Emirates crew member operating in your jurisdiction, covering flight, simulator and ground duties as well as deadheading. The UAE can not be trusted to safely regulate aviation.

The main takeaway of the following detailed information is:

• Emirates are deliberately recording false check-in times for all of their pilots on all flights. Because any duty limit or rest calculation is based on check-in time it is simply impossible to say whether an Emirates crew is operating legally or not. This is not just a problem for individual flights but also has knock-on effects on the following required rest periods, next allowed check-in time and duty totals.

• When the fact was made public the GCAA as regulatory authority promised to regulate it properly. The opposite happened. They covered this up for Emirates because they are by no means independent. Western authorities shouldn’t trust them blindly to regulate Emirates. Please see the U.S. State Department’s Human Rights Report for 2014 to understand that independent control of a government-owned business is impossible under their legal system. The Chairman of Emirates Airline, Sheikh Ahmed, leads the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority but more importantly he sits on the Board of Directors for the GCAA as a Board Member (see GCAA website).

• Emirates are also using other shortcuts and bullying of their employees to make their pilots operate at an unhealthy workload level. On 03 June 2015 Emirates Captain Jim Jacobs (54) died from a heart attack at JFK when boarding the flight to Dubai. He was exhausted and wanted to retire that year.

• As a result of these illegal practices Emirates are achieving great savings by operating at a crew factor of 7 where flight safety dictates a crew factor of 11 in similar operations at regulated Western Airlines (e.g. AirFrance A380 fleet). Emirates presently operates about 250 aircraft (number from open sources) with about 3,850 pilots (from EK seniority list as of 12-2015), some of whom are in training, in management or on sick leave.


1 False Check-in Times

Every Emirates pilot is forced to report for duty significantly prior to the legally registered reporting time. In other words: Emirates is extending their pilots’ flight duty times by registering false reporting times for each and every flight.
Pilots’ flight time limitations are obviously safety relevant and in the case of Emirates Airline the operations manual is approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in the United Arab Emirates. According to the Emirates Operations Manual the Standard Reporting Time for pilots is 1 hour before a flight. So a pilot is legally required to report for duty only 1 hour before the flight departs.
But the operational reality is very different. Emirates pilots are picked up at their residences by a company chauffeur and arrive at the Emirates HQ at least 1 hour and 45 minutes before departure. The timing of the company transport is set by Emirates and can not be delayed by the pilot. The pilot will then proceed through Passport Control and Customs and he will check in his baggage. He will then conduct a preflight briefing with the other pilot on his flight. The flight crew briefing ends at 1 hour 25 minutes before departure as documented in the Flight Crew Departure Timeline. After that the pilots will join their cabin crew and proceed to the aircraft.
So the pilot has completed all of the outlined tasks at 1 hour and 25 minutes before the flight and yet his reporting time is registered at only 1 hour before the flight. Why doesn’t Emirates adjust the Standard Reporting Time? Even Emirates Cabin Crews’ Standard Reporting Time is set at 1 hour and 30 minutes but Cabin Crew Flight Time Limitations are less limiting than those for pilots.
I am attaching a sample Flight Crew Departure Timeline (Part of the Briefing Pack). It is an example of a 2 Pilot Crew Turnaround. EK 544 and EK 545 Dubai-Chennai-Dubai. B773, A6-EMR on April 25th 2014.

Pickup by Company Car 00:30 Dubai Local Time
Flight Crew Briefing End 01:20 Dubai Local Time
Reporting Time 01:45 Dubai Local Time
Scheduled Departure 02:45 Dubai Local Time
Actual Departure DXB 02:57 Dubai Local Time
Actual Arrival MAA 06:37 Dubai Local Time
Actual Departure MAA 08:02 Dubai Local Time
Actual Arrival DXB 12:06 Dubai Local Time
Scheduled Arrival DXB 12:30 Dubai Local Time

After the WSJ reported this issue on April 9, 2015 Emirates removed the internal document “Flight Crew Departure Time” from the process. But that’s the only change.
“The GCAA’s Mr. Al Balooshi said reporting requirements for duty time should be “black and white” and begin when a pilot is expected to report for work and finish when his or her last flight taxies into the gate. Emirates said it abides by state-approved flight-time limitations. “(WSJ article).
This is clearly not the case. Please see the following evidence:

Attachment 1: Flight Crew Departure Timeline for EK544 on 25 April 2014

Attachment 2: Pilot Transport Pickup Schedule

Attachment 3: Internal Memo ‘The Waves’ Flight Crew responsibilities page 6

Attachment 4: Signage at the Crew Terminal outlining that the combined Pilot & Cabin Crew briefing finishes at Standard Departure Time minus 80 (20 minutes before the pilots’ legally registered check-in time).

Attachment 5: EK Pilot Recruitment Video @5:00 runtime. Quote: "I get picked up 2 hours 30 minutes before departure.” http://youtu.be/A53VRz_KhnY

Attachment 6: Emirates OM-A Section 7

Attachment 7: Wall Street Journal Article, April 9, 2015

Attachment 8: Internal email by the Manager Regulatory Affairs telling the related parties in Emirates to remove the Flight Crew Departure Timeline document from the briefing pack, 22 April 2015


2. Further Issues

Here are some of the other issues that I can also back up with evidence and further witnesses:

• Pilots are bullied not to report sick. They receive warning letters if their annual sick days go above a fairly low threshold and may not receive the annual bonus. The first thing is usually to withdraw the right for self-certification of sickness, meaning you can’t call in sick for a single day without a doctor’s certification (not very practical giving the nightly duty schedules).
• the process for reporting sick fatigue is a lot more complicated than just calling sick.
• the Emirates Clinic is overcrowded and understaffed with doctors. Long waiting times are the result.
• the process for cabin crew to report sick is completely prohibitive now. They must drag themselves to EK HQ at any time of the day or night where they only get the sick note but no treatment.
• there is no proper East-West time-zone curfew applied to the rosters
• on Ultra-Long-Haul flights there is now a factoring for 'stick time', meaning you only get half the credit for a flight if you are on the augmenting crew that didn’t do the take-off and landing. This has implications for the following rest times etc.
• No credit for time in a certified full-flight simulator. That’s another 22hours of flight duty per year that just disappear from the records.
• No proper leave allocation. Out of 42 contractual leave days only 30 days are

Al simulatore dell'M80 avevamo un paio di scenari ripresi dal vero, che mostravamo agli allievi, durante una lezione mirata, per metterli in guardia dal wind-shear.

In ambedue si verificava, in corto finale, un improvviso... "Vuoto d'aria" (non c'è immagine migliore per descriverne gli effetti) che li risucchiava a terra.

Forse se:
- Avessero creduto un po' di più ai bollettini (già nei primi voli alla volta di Mosca ricevevamo ...8Cb/2000; e poi c'era tempesta di sereno),
- Avessero potuto avere una migliore 'Situational awareness' (come dicono i bravi) e cioè avessero potuto sentire le comunicazioni in inglese anziché in russo tra ATC ed aerei che dirottavano,
- Non fossero stati 'sderenati'
Le cose sarebbero andate diversamente.

On 03 June 2015 Emirates Captain Jim Jacobs (54) died from a heart attack at JFK when boarding the flight to Dubai. He was exhausted and wanted to retire that year.

• As a result of these illegal practices Emirates are achieving great savings by operating at a crew factor of 7 where flight safety dictates a crew factor of 11 in similar operations at regulated Western Airlines (e.g. AirFrance A380 fleet). Emirates presently operates about 250 aircraft (number from open sources) with about 3,850 pilots (from EK seniority list as of 12-2015), some of whom are in training, in management or on sick leave.


1 False Check-in Times

Every Emirates pilot is forced to report for duty significantly prior to the legally registered reporting time. In other words: Emirates is extending their pilots’ flight duty times by registering false reporting times for each and every flight.
Pilots’ flight time limitations are obviously safety relevant and in the case of Emirates Airline the operations manual is approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in the United Arab Emirates. According to the Emirates Operations Manual the Standard Reporting Time for pilots is 1 hour before a flight. So a pilot is legally required to report for duty only 1 hour before the flight departs.
But the operational reality is very different. Emirates pilots are picked up at their residences by a company chauffeur and arrive at the Emirates HQ at least 1 hour and 45 minutes before departure. The timing of the company transport is set by Emirates and can not be delayed by the pilot. The pilot will then proceed through Passport Control and Customs and he will check in his baggage. He will then conduct a preflight briefing with the other pilot on his flight. The flight crew briefing ends at 1 hour 25 minutes before departure as documented in the Flight Crew Departure Timeline. After that the pilots will join their cabin crew and proceed to the aircraft.
So the pilot has completed all of the outlined tasks at 1 hour and 25 minutes before the flight and yet his reporting time is registered at only 1 hour before the flight. Why doesn’t Emirates adjust the Standard Reporting Time? Even Emirates Cabin Crews’ Standard Reporting Time is set at 1 hour and 30 minutes but Cabin Crew Flight Time Limitations are less limiting than those for pilots.
I am attaching a sample Flight Crew Departure Timeline (Part of the Briefing Pack). It is an example of a 2 Pilot Crew Turnaround. EK 544 and EK 545 Dubai-Chennai-Dubai. B773, A6-EMR on April 25th 2014.

Pickup by Company Car 00:30 Dubai Local Time
Flight Crew Briefing End 01:20 Dubai Local Time
Reporting Time 01:45 Dubai Local Time
Scheduled Departure 02:45 Dubai Local Time
Actual Departure DXB 02:57 Dubai Local Time
Actual Arrival MAA 06:37 Dubai Local Time
Actual Departure MAA 08:02 Dubai Local Time
Actual Arrival DXB 12:06 Dubai Local Time
Scheduled Arrival DXB 12:30 Dubai Local Time

After the WSJ reported this issue on April 9, 2015 Emirates removed the internal document “Flight Crew Departure Time” from the process. But that’s the only change.
“The GCAA’s Mr. Al Balooshi said reporting requirements for duty time should be “black and white” and begin when a pilot is expected to report for work and finish when his or her last flight taxies into the gate. Emirates said it abides by state-approved flight-time limitations. “(WSJ article).
This is clearly not the case. Please see the following evidence:

Attachment 2: Pilot Transport Pickup Schedule

Attachment 3: Internal Memo ‘The Waves’ Flight Crew responsibilities page 6

Attachment 4: Signage at the Crew Terminal outlining that the combined Pilot & Cabin Crew briefing finishes at Standard Departure Time minus 80 (20 minutes before the pilots’ legally registered check-in time).

Attachment 5: EK Pilot Recruitment Video @5:00 runtime. Quote: "I get picked up 2 hours 30 minutes before departure.” http://youtu.be/A53VRz_KhnY

Attachment 8: Internal email by the Manager Regulatory Affairs telling the related parties in Emirates to remove the Flight Crew Departure Timeline document from the briefing pack, 22 April 2015


2. Further Issues

Here are some of the other issues that I can also back up with evidence and further witnesses:

• Pilots are bullied not to report sick. They receive warning letters if their annual sick days go above a fairly low threshold and may not receive the annual bonus. The first thing is usually to withdraw the right for self-certification of sickness, meaning you can’t call in sick for a single day without a doctor’s certification (not very practical giving the nightly duty schedules).
• the process for reporting sick fatigue is a lot more complicated than just calling sick.
• the Emirates Clinic is overcrowded and understaffed with doctors. Long waiting times are the result.
• the process for cabin crew to report sick is completely prohibitive now. They must drag themselves to EK HQ at any time of the day or night where they only get the sick note but no treatment.
• there is no proper East-West time-zone curfew applied to the rosters
• on Ultra-Long-Haul flights there is now a factoring for 'stick time', meaning you only get half the credit for a flight if you are on the augmenting crew that didn’t do the take-off and landing. This has implications for the following rest times etc.
• No credit for time in a certified full-flight simulator. That’s another 22hours of flight duty per year that just disappear from the records.
• No proper leave allocation. Out of 42 contractual leave days only 30 days are

Grazie Ray , a proposito qualcuno del forum noccioline e aperitivi ha postato lo stesso articolo 2 orette dopo , ci monitorizzano ? 😂😂😂😂

Devono capire se la fonte e' attendibile ...il pilota della Emirates e il Wsj non sono abbastanza , devono sentire il ceo della San Carlo .

Uhm!!!

A proposito di riattaccate e di accanimento homitico - The Federal Air Transport Agency, on its behalf, said the plane attempted to land three times before crashing. - Oltrechè di presenze ingombranti a bordo - two political passengers were on board, "Aleksandr V. Antonov, 56, the regional head of Russia’s Federal Security Service, and Irek Minnikhanov, 24, a son of the president of the Tatarstan region, Rustam Minnikhanov," -

Credo che:
- Stanchezza accumulata dell'equipaggio,
- Home-itis,
- Complacency da eccesso di extra-fuel,
- Difficoltà di pilotaggio di un 737 leggero coi motori alla spinta di decollo piena,
non bastino a spiegare i due eventi con esito fotocopiato.

Deve esserci dell'altro!

Vedendo ultimo video ho pensato ( e' solo una mia considerazione) ad uno stab trim runaway a picchiare o un problema allo stabilizzatore.
Le due ore di holding erano in ice condition ?
Non so non so troppe cose strane bisogna sentire il cvr
