China Eastern flight 5735 killed 132 people in 2022 but the CAAC never released a final report. Now a FOIA release has put the recorder data into the public domain. fearoflanding.com/accidents/chin… #ChinaEastern5735

The ferry flight for the brand new Cirrus SR22 had a 2,100 mile water crossing ahead. Unfortunately, there was only enough fuel for 1,900. fearoflanding.com/accidents/acci…

Eighteen minutes after two pilots died on his runway, the LaGuardia controller was still directing traffic. There was no one to relieve him. fearoflanding.com/accidents/a-pr…

A PA-28 loses power before rejoining the circuit at Prestwick. The man who takes control isn't legally allowed to fly. This week on Fear of Landing. fearoflanding.com/accidents/acci…

Old-time tower climbers say that if you hang next to an FM antenna radiating 50 kW, you'll feel heating in your eyes first. This balloon stopped 43 feet short of an antenna radiating 100 kW. fearoflanding.com/accidents/hot-…

Lasers shooting down the wrong drones. Laptops vanishing through the floor of a passenger jet. A bullet hole nobody noticed until landing. It's only February. fearoflanding.com/crazy/lasers-l…

The Century 2000 autopilot doesn't trim for you. It flashes a light and expects you to do it. If you trim the wrong way, it flashes faster. The NTSB final report on the TNflygirl Debonair crash is out. fearoflanding.com/accidents/acci…

"We knew we had to get down quickly," the passenger wrote. But did they? The passenger's video shows a prop spinning normally, a runway ahead, and then a collision. "Fortunately our pilot with 20+ years experience was able to set us down," they wrote. fearoflanding.com/accidents/acci…

Boeing says the switches work fine if you use the correct technique. The Federation of Indian Pilots says there's an electrical failure mode. The UK CAA wants to know why Air India flew after two switch failures. fearoflanding.com/accidents/air-…

Fact of the Day: The F15's name comes from the angle of the wings leading edge being at 15° from the body. The F is in honour of Fred Boeing, the airplanes designer, who went on to found Airbus Research Systems Enterprises, now known simply as Airbus Photographed from a Canberra

Someone left a 1-star review for Goose Bay Airport because the pilot "blocked my access to oxygen". Another gave credit for "hot stewardess susie q for good sandwiches." This is what happens when 127 people review an airport in Labrador. fearoflanding.com/history/four-p…

"We have high RPM now and will try to make it to the shore." They didn't make it to the shore. fearoflanding.com/accidents/acci…
