Co-pilot fell ill ,pilot lands solo
ANA captain lands airliner in Singapore single-handedly
An All Nippon Airways (ANA) captain was forced to land his jet by himself at Singapore airport last Sunday after the co-pilot fell ill, the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry said Wednesday. The airline reported the trouble to its government regulator Tuesday. The ministry's Aircraft and Railway Accident Investigation Committee launched a probe after concluding that it falls under a serious incident under the Civil Aviation Law. ANA Flight 901 took off from Narita Airport in the outskirts of Tokyo for Singapore at 4:38 p.m., Sunday, with 186 passengers and crewmembers aboard, ministry officials said. At around 11 p.m., less than an hour before landing at Singapore, the 43-year-old co-pilot complained of a stomachache while the aircraft was cruising. The 55-year-old captain told the co-pilot to lie down and rest, and landed the aircraft -- a Boeing 777-200 -- at Changi Airport in Singapore on his own at 11:54 p.m. The captain was forced to cover the duties that are usually done by a co-pilot. Upon arrival at Singapore, the co-pilot was rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed as suffering from acute pancreatitis. His illness is not life-threatening. After coming back to Japan, the captain reported the incident to the company. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, March 10, 2004) |

No problem at all. On Chango they land on ILS CAT III (Instrument Landing
System). The pilot is sitting in his chair and is doing almost nothing while the ILS-computer lands the plane. LH "scuffler" wrote in message om...

om... After coming back to Japan, the captain reported the incident to the company. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, March 10, 2004) Hasn't All Nippon Airways heard of telephone/fax/e-mail/telex/AFTN to notify HQ. If it was classed as a serious incident, then why was it not reported to HQ and the GoJ-MLIT sooner? Particularly when SQ (a partner airline within the Star Alliance) is headquarted in SIN. |
