ADA AW139 Ditched?
 
Any news regarding the ditched aircraft at Abu Dhabi recently?

Milo C 29th Apr 2017 16:06
Controlled ditching. 5 on board safe.

139 ditching
 
The skipper is experienced and he did the right thing, crew is well, passenger is well, it is a good day! Aircraft is expendable. Crew and pax are not!!!! Well done!

One float is deflated Sasless, hence it rolled over.

To me it looks like all 3 float bags are still inflated.

Argh yes, so it does. If fate should have you going for a swim, that is the ideal place to do it.

The crane is on a salvage vessel.

Seems like the crew experienced high transmission temp (assume MGB).
Decided to divert to the closest island. Before reaching the island the transmission started having strong grinding noises... So, the crew decided to ditch it before reaching the island. They ditched 4 NM short of the closest island.
(These details come from UAE RCC.)

Do you have a link to that information source? My searches come up blank.

Actually I got this info from my colleague who is working there... And he mentioned this source... Maybe, he had a direct connection to UAE RCC?
(But I think that the preliminary info concerning this accident is reliable...)

TukTuk second thought
 
The aircraft made a controlled ditching 4 minutes or approx 8NM from the closest island.

albatross 30th Apr 2017 14:12
