Flying Ashtray

archetypal officer cull Brydon left his home in south Essex to go to work at Heathrow. He was on the M25 when he heard a news bulletin on the radio informing him that said that be on fujmore had erupted 32km south of the Indian is sphere. It was early when Rob arrived at the airport and entered the pilots mill about and prepared for his feather. Rob and his captain realised that his route would take him oer the path of the ash tree erupted from Mount fujmore. They came to the conclusion that the ash would clear by the time they were devout the mountain.As Rob walked into the gate he was apprehensive that his decision would come back to bite him, only when the captain secure him that in the 30 years of service he had flew in the alike situation numerous amounts of time and that it would be fine. Rob and his captain were instanter on board the monotonous and had begun their pre-flight checks and were ready for clearance. As usual Rob was needing for clearance. Rob was unus ually busy and didnt prolong time for this ands his envision of the passengers, besides he figured that he would take a advert once he was cruising in the air.Before Rob knew it he was at cruise level and was eating breakfast, as a precaution except in case they were in a collision course with the volcanic ash. Soon after Rob had forgotten about the volcanic ash but what he didnt k at one time was going to make his day practically harder. As Rob crossed th peckish the ash his whether monitor didnt fleece it up because it was dry and could not see it because his blinds were trim cut down. The passengers saw the ash but informed the pilot but they discussed it and they said it was harmless. But therefore the planes started to pitch problems.The provide indicators started to flash about low fuel and low fuel pressure. The auto pilot changed courses then changed back. They looked at their systems to see where they were and discovered they were near India. The plane stopped h aving problems until they noticed their engines were glowing red hot with most of the volcanic ash. They began to panic but soon they were on air dealing control asking for a clear land spot, but in that respect were east of the Indian Ocean and with no viable cart track to land on. The closest one was in Thailand which was hours away from them.They began to start to calculate the harm that could be through to the plane when engine 3 shut down completely and they began to get warnings of low fuel and the filtration system was damaged by the volcanic ash. They then got transmissions and sent out warnings that problems could occur if you followed their flight path. altogether of a sudden over their radio they got the radio transmission they should have had beforehand take-off. That the ash was dry which would explain why it didnt come up on the radar. They the had engine 2 shut down and had to descend to save them from stalling in mid air.They also decided that they should t ake their flight path out of the volcanic ash. They move to change their course but all the ash had damaged the planes computer chips, they decided to ask hover what they should do. All of a sudden engine 3 went out and their gliding system went out so they had to rely on a rough idea of where they were. They were now 16,200ft above ocean level and it couldnt escape the crews listen of abandonment of the plane in the ocean. Though it had never been done before on this model of aircraft the pilots knew that it was possible.Not long later the last engine went out and their fears of abandonment became a reality. But they had bigger problems on their top dog such as how to control the plane, hen there is no condition being generated. They decided to try to start the engines again but cypher happened. They tried to restart the engines 3 more times and all of a sudden engine 3 came on and quickly shut down again. At this point they were 10,000ft exactly about sea level and were as sessing their problems when they came to an accordance to start the engines one more time before they seriously considered abandonment.They tried and waited. They waited more and engine 3 came to life and was immediately put on full index number and they decreased their descent rate and started to restart the former(a) engines, but only engine 2 came on and they levelled of their altitude and started to ask ATC where to land but it wasnt easy as there was heavy fuzziness and ice in the area they wanted land in. They had permission tending(p) and they were allowed to land at a nearby airport. As they started to line up with the airport they had to rely on the towers navigation system until they could see the runway lights.The task that was ahead of them was extremely big as they had only done thus in simulators. 19 miles away from the airport and 3,500 ft above the ground they had the correct configuration and all they needed was more military unit but the ash had clogged the e ngine intakes so that only a certain amount of power could be used at both one time. They started to sink too low and desperately needed power so for a short period the engines power was increased, but then they were overwhelmed and went red-hot. As they approached the runway they could make out the light of another plane coming onto the.They quickly contacted tower but the declined saying they had no survey of a plane on the runway but they checked their navigation system and they were wrong. The captain quickly informed tower that they would be landing whether or not that plane was on the runway. They knew it was going to be a tight landing as they came closer and closer to the runway. The plane was now crossing the threshold. The point of no return and they narrowly missed the privy fin of the plane but they landed and swiftly evacuated.
