The flight also witnessed the malfunctioning of all three of its Instrument Landing System receivers on board the jet.
Even
after multiple system failure, adverse weather conditions and lack of
fuel while struggling to land at the John F Kennedy Airport in New
York, an Air India pilot succeeded in saving the lives of 370
passengers on-board.
It
was September 11, when Air
India’s AI-101 was flying from New Delhi to New York.
An
ANI report said the plane was suddenly caught in between the worst
flying conditions any pilot would want to imagine. The pilot reported
to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) that the flight experienced multiple
system failure and was low on fuel, which also restricted its time of
flying when the system failed.
The
flight also witnessed the malfunctioning of all three of its
Instrument Landing System receivers on board the jet. This meant that
the pilots needed to manually land the aircraft.
The
report said in such conditions and unable to land at the JFK
International Airport, the pilot manning AI-101 somehow managed to
land at the alternate designated airport in Newark.
According
to the information, Air India has set up an inquiry on aircraft and
constituted an internal inquiry under the monitoring of airlines
flight safety department.
