Why was the Air India plane spinning in the air?
An Air India plane going from Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu to Sharjah suffered a major malfunction on Friday. According to the information, the hydraulics of the plane failed shortly after take off. Due to hydraulics failure, efforts to land the plane safely intensified. For this, the plane kept circling in the air for hours. After this the plane was finally landed safely. Now the question arises that why was this plane moving in the air despite the malfunction. Let us know the answer to this question in our news.
Why was the plane spinning in the air?
Actually, for any plane to land, it is necessary to have 25 percent or less fuel in it. So that the weight of the plane remains less while landing. There was a lot of fuel left in the Air India plane. To end this, the plane was rotated in the air. When the weight of the aircraft decreases, its stability during landing increases. It is relatively more difficult to land a heavy aircraft. This was the reason that after rotating the plane in circles in the air for about 2.5 hours, the plane was finally landed safely.
Right decision is necessary before landing
When an aircraft’s hydraulics fail, the pilot tries to lower the landing gear manually. For this reason they need time to decide whether they are properly prepared for landing or not. Along with this, the pilot has to be in constant touch with the air traffic control so that he can get directions for landing and information about other aircraft.
There were 141 passengers on board
This Air India plane was going from Trichy to Sharjah. The malfunction in the plane was discovered soon after it took off from Trichy airport. Actually, the wheel of the plane was not going in due to the hydraulic failure of the plane, after which it was reported. There were 141 passengers on board the plane. As long as the plane was in the air, hospitals around the airport were put on alert. Ambulances were also deployed at the airport. Eventually the plane was landed and the passengers heaved a sigh of relief.
