7 French Fighter Jets Make Emergency Landing in Indonesia
7 French Fighter Jets Make Emergency Landing in Indonesia - Other Media news - Tasnim News Agency
The crews of the seven Dassault Rafale combat planes landed safely at Sultan Iskandar Muda air force base in Aceh province on Saturday, 90 minutes after taking off from their aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the Indian Ocean, said Aceh air force base commander Col. Hendro Arief.
"We had to open our base to them to land as they were in an emergency state due to bad weather," Arief said, AP reported.
He said air force radar confirmed that the planes were initially flying out of Indonesian territory when fog and bad weather forced them to land immediately as they were trying to return to their aircraft carrier, located 100 nautical miles west of Sumatra's exclusive economic zone.
Arief said Indonesian air force personnel had completed an inspection of the planes.
Five of the seven jets were returned to their carrier on Sunday, while the other two were still having technical problems,
Arief said. French diplomats in Indonesia were informed of the incident.

Ten years on, questions remain over response to Air France 447
As Air France pilots fought for control, an Airbus A330 passenger jet plummeted from 38,000 feet for four minutes, its engines running but its wings unable to seize enough air to fly.
The doomed jet, weighing 205 tonnes, was in freefall after entering an aerodynamic stall. The ordeal ended in tragedy in the early hours of June 1, 2009 reut.rs/2YYR1lt, mid-way from Rio de Janeiro to Paris during an Atlantic storm, killing all 228 people on board.
As relatives mark the disaster’s tenth anniversary, the aviation industry is still implementing lessons learned from Air France flight 447 even as it faces a new crisis over the two-month-old global grounding of Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft.

Indian air force plane with 13 on board missing near China border
An Indian air force aircraft with 13 people on board went missing on Monday in remote northeastern mountains bordering China, government officials said.
The AN-32 aircraft, which is typically used for transport, took off from Assam state’s Jorhat town for Menchuka in Arunachal Pradesh state but lost contact with ground agencies at around 1 p.m. (0730 GMT).
“Since the aircraft did not reach the airfield, overdue action was initiated,” said one government official.
"A total of eight crew and five passengers were on board."
The air force had begun a search, including deploying a Sukhoi combat jet, another government official said.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who assumed charge of the ministry last week, said he was in touch with senior air force officials. “I pray for the safety of all passengers on board,” he said on Twitter.

Lightning knocked out autopilot of SSJ-100 that exploded at Sheremetyevo, says watchdog

MOSCOW, June 14. /TASS/. The SSJ-100 airliner that burst into flames upon its emergency landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport on May 5 had lost communications with air-traffic controllers for some time after it was struck by lightning. The plane's autopilot also went out of order, according to a preliminary report published by the Inter-State Aviation Committee on Friday.
"After the lightning had struck the plane, the autopilot went out of order, setting off the sound warning system," the document says.
Also, the pilots tried several times to establish communications with the air traffic controller at an operational frequency but managed to do this only at an emergency frequency, the findings indicate.
After the lightning struck the plane, the onboard flight recorders operated improperly for about 15 seconds, the document says.
"Beginning from 15:08:12, one-off commands and indicators of analogue parameters that are recorded through EIU-100 data concentrator units were improperly recorded for about 15 seconds," the findings say.
Investigators have opened a criminal case over flight safety violations and breaches in aircraft operation that entailed the death of two and more people through negligence. Detectives are looking into several versions of the incident, including pilot incompetence, a technical failure and unfavorable weather conditions.
Russian crash plane was hit by lightning: investigation
A Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft that crashed in May killing 41 people lost autopilot after a lightning strike and came in to land at excessive speed, according to a report from crash investigators, Russian news agencies reported on Friday.
But the preliminary report, from the Interstate Aviation Committee which investigates plane crashes in Russia, did not conclude that pilot error was to blame, the agencies reported.
The plane, operated by Russia’s Aeroflot airline, was carrying 73 passengers and five crew members on May 5 when it made an emergency landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport.
It hit the runway hard and then caught fire, with the fuselage quickly becoming engulfed in a fireball.
Some passengers and crew were able to escape by using emergency chutes, but others could not get out, despite the arrival of fire crews at the scene.
The preliminary crash report also said that the crew went ahead with their attempted landing despite an automatic system advising them to abort and make a second approach.
CIS aviation watchdog publishes preliminary report on SSJ-100’s accident at Sheremetyevo
© Sergei Fadeichev/TASS
MOSCOW, June 14, 2019 - The Inter-State Aviation Committee has released a preliminary report on the Sukhoi Superjet-100 airliner’s accident at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport on May 5. The report was posted on the CIS aviation watchdog’s website on Friday.
"The report contains actual information, which the accident-probing commission has received by now, and also the results of deciphering the onboard and ground-based data recording equipment and video data, the findings of the probes that have been concluded and other materials. The report may be specified and supplemented upon the receipt of additional information," the document’s preamble says.
The 104-page document gives data on the airliner’s condition before its takeoff, its crewmembers, all the events related to the accident and the results of probes concluded by now.
The data provided in the report is preliminary and the document may be updated and supplemented following the results of the probes and the study of all the materials. After the investigation is over, a final report on the SSJ-100’s accident will be prepared, the Inter-State Aviation Committee said.

Two dead after light planes collide mid-air in New Zealand
Two light aircraft collided mid-air on their final approach at a regional aerodrome in New Zealand on Sunday killing both pilots, police said.
Four parachutists on board of one of the planes had jumped shortly before it crashed with the other plane, a training aircraft. A helicopter also preparing to land, managed to avoid the collision.
The police said that both planes dropped immediately after impact, hitting the ground south of the Hood Aerodrome near the town of Masterton.
There was no immediate information about a potential cause of the crash and the police would not release the names of the victims, saying they were still trying to locate family members.
Witnesses told New Zealand media that they heard a loud bang and saw the planes spiraling down.
Stuff.nz, a New Zealand news website, cited a local pilot instructor saying the aerodrome was unrestricted up to 9,500 feet, but pilots were required to record their movements through a shared radio channel.
One of the planes belonged to Skydive Wellington while the other to the Wairarapa Aero Club. The Hood Aerodrome is owned and operated by the Masterton District Council.
“We have a close-knit community at Hood Aerodrome and the incident has understandably rocked that community,” the council said in a statement on its website.

Additional resources are being requested through OES for underwater resources.
The plane reportedly left out of Stanislaus County and was enroute to Tuolumne County. The pilot’s name will not be released, until his next of kin is notified. Search efforts are continuing.
UPDATE- On 06/17/19 at about 1200 hours, the aircraft was located about 110’ feet below the surface of the lake through the use of sonar equipment and later confirmed with the use of an underwater remote operated vehicle.
