A Boeing 767 was forced to break off its approach into Hamilton, Ontario (YHM) after the flight crew spotted a glider in its path. The Cargojet flight had flown from Vancouver, British Columbia (YVR), and was tracking the ILS to runway 12 when the incident occurred. The 767 pilots had no indication that the glider was there until they could see it directly in front of them. The pilots banked the aircraft to the right to avoid a collision. They were then able to re-intercept the localizer and make a safe approach and landing at YHM.

Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. -filepic PETALING JAYA: The transponder code used by a US aircraft that allegedly impersonated a Malaysian plane when spying on China's military bases last September was not registered to Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. The Transport Minister said that the probe carried out by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) found that the transponder code said to have been used by the US aircraft was in fact not registered with a Malaysian plane. “This is because the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) had designated the Mode-S code to Mal...

Veteran safety and crash investigators will tell you it is rarely one thing that causes a crash these days. planes are built with so much redundancy and so many backup systems, it's usually a cascading series of events that occur that creates the situation in which you simpley can't overcome it. it's not event one, but one and two and three and four and suddenly you have a terrible tragedy. >> yeah, jose in terms of the analysis as an investigator i would be looking at is firstly, we're trying to identify where the point of impact was on the peak. but given the fact that the transponder code 7...

Cockpit. and then once that happened the crew were flying near a plane, assuming one scenario and the aircraft in another scenario and got into a catastrophic stall. so there's a couple of scenarios here which i think could play out, but all centering around unawareness if you like of the situation. as jose rightly pointed out, there's one anomaly, transponder code of 7770. >> and the other thing, the descent was so orderly, it flies in the face offer at rat i can flight behavior on 447 the crew we know was making terrible decisions, making wrong inputs trying to fly the plane and werer rat cl...

Appropriate definitions. then and only then can we figure out if in fact a loss of contact in the literal sense occurred. if in fact the airplane came down rapidly, the data block will only show the flight number, the transponder code and speed. the last information that i've heard said that that is what occurred. the altitude block was not visible. that was because of the rate of change meaning the airplane was descending very rapidly. that also indicates something is amiss, but that's where the investigators are going to look. >> appreciate that point. of course, you sharing your technical e...
