what will you do after....??

[Innova_Boy]

What will you do after if the plane your riding take off and after 30 min the pilot tells everybody onboard that the plane need to go back to the airport due to some technical problems...

then after after disembarking from plane, an announcement was made that the SAME PLANE will be able to depart after 4 hours...

what would you do then? will you still wait for it? or you'll just take another flight?

Also my big question is why this plane company does not divulge the exact problem of the plane to the passengers? for security reason ba?


WBR,

[istan]

Hmm..if there's no additional cost to me, I'll take another flight.

normal procedure that an airplane will return to it's origin or to the nearest airport when experiencing technical problems..depende yan what kind of airplane ang gamit..in case a loaded passenger or cargo plane, they dump their fuel before landing for safety...plane takes off with full tank but can't land full tank.
It is up to the passenger not to board the plane again, but the airline will not treat you a no show passenger...the airline had already inform the problem...it's techinica problem, unless you will ask the pilot or the ground tech engineers they will give you the full technical details.

I'll go home nalang and get another schedule.Mahirap ng magtake chances.

IZ: Is there any technical explanation why they cant land on full tank?

[pup2]

Siyempre ask ko muna kung ano naging problema. Kung mukhang malaki o delikado (kasama na AC doon), lipat na lang ako ng flight and/or airline. Kung barado lang toilet or sira lang wiper, hindi na.

I'll definitely change plane. A technical problem is a big concern.

A full tank can easily start a fire during landing.....

Iba naman nangyari sa flight ko. Parang pareho rin ito sa situation ng thread, yung nga lang, yung plane namin, di pa nakakalipad. Sa Singapore pa ako nagwu-work noon.

Return flight ko sa Singapore aboard PAL (747 pa). Yung "tube" natanggal na, at paatras na yung plane. Then suddenly, nag-announce yung piloto, na may "technical" problems daw (di naman sinabi kung ano problema). So, balik kami sa landing bay ng plane. Disembark kami lahat. 2 hrs. ginawa yung problema. After na-fix yung problem, balik din kami sa the same plane, at nakarating naman kami ng maayos sa Singapore.

pwede mag land ang plane with full tank but....tires might burst upon landing + the weight of the cargo and passenger....or burst into flame after tires burst.

[Lucius]

Ok lang as long as maganda ung mga stewardess hehehe

[cutedoc]

they dont disclose because people inside the aircraft mught panic, thats one big deal they are trying to avoid, inasmuch the pilot or the captain will flavor up his words so as not to let the passenger be frighten.

hmmm if the airplane has a good track record, and if the captain or the company declare it safe for riding, i wont mind, you wont know when a plane is to crash, if your plane is bound to crash and you to die it will happen=)

however, if postponing the trip wouldnt matter much, i will settel for that, especially if i am with my family or loves ones

If it happened to me, I'd definitely book another flight. I'm a stickler for safety, especially mine.

It hasn't happened to me yet though. The closest to a plane having technical problems for me was when the plane I was supposed to ride in had problems in the airport I was headed to. The airline sent in another plane instead. The airline staff didn't disclose the exact reason why. But, they did inform us of how much delay time and made arrangements with those who had or missed connecting flights.

My aunt did fly to RP with PAL one time. The 747 had some problems in Hawaii and the passengers had to endure the wait inside the plane for 2 hours. The jet did take off afterwards and there were no further incidents.

That airline with problems I mentioned earlier was Delta. They seem ok on the domestic flights. But, I'm leery of them on international flights. Maybe that's why Northwest Air took over their Pacific routes.

The take-off weight is higher than landing weight kaya kailangan mag dump ng fuel for you to meet your landing weight. Usually di naman full tank kung dito sa domestic ang flight. kaya if immediate ang re-land( in case na uncontrollable fire) pwede ka agad mag land kasi di mo ma exceed ang maximum landing weight mo. Di naman ibabalik ang aircraft kung di talaga matindi ang sira me redundant system naman sya pero kung umalis na ng me kulang na dun sa system kailangan na bumalik. ex.Tulad ng generator 3 ang generator ng aircraft in a two engine airplane that includes yun sa APU or auxillary power unit nya. as per Minimum Equipment List ng BOIENG pwede pa sya i dispatch pag sira yun isa basta gumagana ang APU. pero pag nasira pa ang isang generator while inflight kailangan mo na bumalik kasi isang GENERATOR nalang ang gumagana.pag matindi talaga ang problema it takes time bago i dispatch ang aircraft. kasi kailangan ma satify ang pilot flying that aircraft na ok na at dapat i release din uli ng mechanic na airworthy na ang eroplano nyo.

misleading yung thread title hehehehe, sasagot ko sana 'punta ng banyo then uuwi na' :bwahaha:


okay lang maghintay, they know it better whether the plane is safe or not.

ako pag may dalang yosi yosi muna bago punta banyo....

OT off: ill take the next flight!!

[j_avonni]

I'd take additional travel insurance and take the same plane.

It depends. If my travel is urgent, I would take another flight - if there's other flight available. I think in cases like this, you could cancel your ticket without any surcharge.

[empy]

if the airline is a reputable one, i would get on the flight with no questions asked. actually, this has happened to me many times, and i have gotten on the same plane after the problem was fixed...sa awa ng Diyos buhay pa ako :angel2:

air travel is still the safest form of transport by far (in terms of hours or km traveled, according to the BBC) and the airline industry has extremely exacting standards of quality and safety. sure, they still screw up (with spectacularly disastrous results) but if you're afraid to get on a plane, you should be absolutely terrified to get in a car, on a bike, or a motorcycle (absolutely the most dangerous form of travel according to the same article)

[niky]

I don't fly often, but it happened to me once in 85'. No, actually, we weren't on the plane yet. We were told that there were cabin ventilation problems and they shuffled us off to another airline.

Next airport... the plane we were supposed to ride arrived before we did! Asar! And when they shuffled us back onto the plane we were originally supposed to ride, we ended up sitting on the tarmac for half an hour... due to the same problem...

[maria]

sir, i am a frequent flyer for two decades now but believe it or not i still have this height fobia.i usually cant sleep weeks before my scheduled flight, imagining horrable things. How can i fight this sickness.pls. help. thsnk you.

[BlueBimmer]

what airline kaya tinutukoy ni innovaboy??

[IIE]

for me schedule na lang ulit.

sabi ng officemate ko, laht daw ng gamit sa plane nilalabas at pinapapalitan ng iba, sabi pa nya lahat daw measured, glass, spoon pork etc... pati gas ng plane.
