The South Korean carrier’s Flight OZ162, which took off at Incheon airport in northwestern South Korea, was attempting to land in Hiroshima when the incident occurred on Tuesday evening, officials said.

bexrbetter Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Pilot just trying his handbrake skills. Must have been an Oz pilot doing skidz!
SDQDI Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Certainly helps reinforce Asiana as a trustworthy airline.................. Not. Wonder if anyone tried the same name gag again, I can't work out how to make ground a first name but maybe 'Loo Ping' fits at the end? 1
Downunder Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/world/a/27136238/asiana-plane-hits-antenna-in-japan-runway-undershoot/ Hmmmm..... less than 6m high at 300m from threshold......... that's low!! Aerial footage from Hiroshima airport in western Japan showed the localiser -- a large gate-like structure, six metres (20 feet) high that sits around 300 metres from the start of the runway -- splintered, with debris spread towards the landing strip. What appeared to be a chunk of the localiser was seen dangling from one wing and emergency escape chutes were deployed.
bexrbetter Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Wouldn't it be reasonable to request a non-Korean pilot in the cabin on all flights until they get their apparent training or cockpit culture deficit sorted out? I'm not fussed on who I fly but I will consciously avoid them in the future. In fact I have no statistical reason to avoid any of the airlines but think I might stick solely to QANTAS for a bit, the last year has been a bit iffy. 1
Downunder Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Wonder if anyone tried the same name gag again, I can't work out how to make ground a first name but maybe 'Loo Ping' fits at the end? I believe the Captain and First officer names are "Not To Hi" and "Me Lyk Lo"...... 4
bexrbetter Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I believe the Captain and First officer names are "Not To Hi" and "Me Lyk Lo"...... Funny - but just to give a more authentic Asian feel .. Yu Tu Hai and Mi Laik Lo "I heard a loud noise" said Sum Ding Bang. "We got out as quickly as possible" said Tu Run Fa.
Cosmick Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 You could imagine the size of the eyeballs watching that drain getting closer.
Phil Perry Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 ( Said in a real Darwin Orstrayleeyan accent. . . .) NOW LOOK. . . it didn't bloody well burn. . .and nobody got dedded,. . . .so what's all the bloody fuss about. . .?
Guest ozzie Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Wonder how the 20 were injured. During the Tokyo Drift or vacating the aircraft? Those slides seem awfully dangerous
facthunter Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Two undershoots in recent times. A different approach needed? Can't be cutting the fuel that fine. (ft... it's Deja vu. (fr.) Nev
Gnarly Gnu Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I've flown something like that but with only one passenger. It must ramp up the fun factor a lot to have a few dozen all screaming at once. Without a doubt Asiana are the drift kings. 1
SDQDI Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Two undershoots in recent times. A different approach needed? Can't be cutting the fuel that fine. (ft... it's Deja vu. (fr.) Nev Nev you are a comedy genius........ "A different approach needed" he says poker faced rofl:roflmao:Maybe an approach that was a little higher!
facthunter Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 A couple of weeks ago I was in your area SDQDI. A few ARIEL bikes around Tamworth for 4 days. Nearly 100. Nev 2
SDQDI Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Next time you will have to yell out Nev, we are always more than happy to meet new people:thumb up: We even have our own bike nut here (Old K, ok maybe I didn't need to write bike:wink:) and I'm always happy for an excuse to stop work and talk about flying or better still go for a fly:thumb up: 1 1
planedriver Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 You could imagine the size of the eyeballs watching that drain :yikes:getting closer.
planedriver Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Ban them from using OZ flight prefixes, it's probably used to inspire safety in the minds of their passengers.
