Air Asia X Busts Altitude 2 Days In A Row At OOL

Postby drebarbas » Wed May 12, 2010 1:26 am

I found this in the other forum ........... :<.<:

What happened to the 'Safety & Standard' in Air Asia? ........ :><:

http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/.../05/11/216545_gold-coast-news.html

"AIR Asia X is being investigated for two safety breaches in two days while on approach to Gold Coast Airport.

One of the incidents on May 4 involved a plane dropping below the safe minimum radar altitude while it was coming in to land at the Gold Coast from Kuala Lumpur.

Adding to the seriousness of the incident was low cloud making for poor visibility.

The investigation by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau also lists a 'similar incident by the same aircraft type' on May 3.

Director of aviation safety investigations for the ATSB Ian Sangston said the alleged breaches were serious.
The incidents are subject to a serious incident investigation

AIRBUS INDUSTIES A330-343E, 9M-XXB, Gold Coast Aerodrome, 4 May 2010

I heard that the pilots involved were suspended UFN, pending the outcome of the investigation ...... both by the company and CASA..... :<.<:

Not a good sign especially after getting involved in an international incident ........... :=\:

Lesson learnt - Licence is an individual's responsibilty NOT the company ............ :)
