    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,

    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?

    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.

    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
