Pilot kisses ground after surviving crash landing
Pilot kisses ground after surviving crash landing
According to sun-sentinal report : Pilot kissed the tarmac after safely landing a small airplane with landing gear troubles Thursday at North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines.
The nose gear of a Piper PA-28 collapsed as the aircraft landed at about 9 a.m. on a runway, said the Federal Aviation Administration, which will investigate.
There were two men aboard.
The plane is operated by Wayman Aviation, a flight school at the airfield.
A WSVN-Ch. 7 helicopter filmed the dramatic flight and tricky landing. According to the station, the helicopter followed the Piper for about an hour, letting the crew know when its gear was raised and lowered as it did touch and go maneuvers until it eventually landed safely.
Video of the Piper’s final approach to the runway showed the passenger holding his hands up in front of his face as the pilot steered to a safe stop. The men were able to toss their flight bags to the ground, get out of the disabled, single-engine plane and walk away from it.
The Piper’s pilot raised his baseball cap in an apparent salute to the chopper pilot before falling to his knees and brushing the runway with his lips.

He said the pilot is a master certified flight instructor who has been with the company for five or six years and was giving a lesson to a commercial pilot who is training to become an instructor.
“They were having trouble with the nose landing gear, which they reported to the tower,” Luy said. “They did a fantastic job, all the way into the landing. It was a nice, safe controlled emergency landing. Everyone is safe and unharmed.”
Luy declined to release the pilots’ names, citing company policy after incidents.
The helicopter helped the Piper and communicated with it by radio, Luy said.
“This is exactly what training is for, 90 percent is for emergency procedures, the ‘what ifs,’” Luy said. “On an airplane with retractable gear, three green lights tell you if the gears are down and locked. One of the lights didn’t go on. The helicopter told them the gear was down, and they figured out it was not locked.”
Luy said the emergency landing “appears to be a mechanical failure, but it’s still under investigation. The plane has been with us a long time, we know it thoroughly. You fly enough hours, eventually something is going to happen.”
The American Airlines Airbus A321’s passengers on May 20, 2023, found moths inside the aircraft.

The plane was plagued with them, which the captain stated was a “safety and comfort issue.”He spoke to maintenance and decided that the best way to get rid of the moths, all passengers to exit the aircraft so that the moths could be efficiently eliminated.
one of the passenger share a video on Twitter and said: In all my years of flying… I have never had this happen. The second plane needed new tires. They moved us to a plane with no fuel. They keep calling for fuel but have no luck. It’s been 45 minutes.

Pakistan might be interested in replacing its F16 aircraft with a KAAN 5th gen fighter from Turkey.
Pakistan believes that Turkey’s First Fifth Generation Fighter will replace the F-16.
The air force in Pakistan is eager to replace its aging fleet. It has repeatedly asked the United States for upgrades to its F16 fleet, but the United States has refused due to pressure from its neighbors and some allies, including China.
Later, Pakistan forcibly acquired the newest fighter jet from China, the J-10, for its fleet despite being uncertain of the aircraft’s intended use. and some aircraft were constructed in Pakistan.

Now It is crucial for Pakistan to upgrade its air force fleet with the latest aircraft so that it has the option to choose Turkish defense manufacturing. The Turkish Air Force just got its first F-16 fighter plane that was upgraded locally. As part of Turkish Aerospace Industries’ Project Ozgur, the aircraft has been modernized. Pakistan also may get similar assistance to upgrade its fleet in the upcoming days.
When Turkey’s first fifth-generation fighter, the TAI Kaan, completes its developmental trials around 2030, Pakistan has indicated an interest in purchasing it from Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).
Pakistan currently has its sights set on the Turkish KAAN fighter jet, which was just completed and is rumored to be a fifth-generation fighter. Additionally, it displayed some of the aircraft’s features and perspective, which are somewhat reminiscent of those of the US F22 and Russian Su 57.

Pakistan may variety of options with Turkey. even it can ask for the domestic production of the Turkish fighter jet and also it can import most of the weapons. Turkish is also willing to make the agreement with Pakistan, it is already looking for buyers for its newly developed products.
Turkish engineers hope to make their fifth-generation aircraft more competitive with the US F35 or the Russian Su-57. However, it will take some time as the Turkish manufacturing industry’s biggest problems are the engines and avionics, which they are always working to resolve.
Currently, Turkey manages the majority of aircraft, although it is working to acquire engines, many of which may come from Rolls-Royce for its KAAN TFX fighter.
