Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji international airport .First flight 10/10/2012.On Monday 13 April 2015 the Jet Airways flight 9W2423 was a scheduled service from Delhi to Varanasi and Khajuraho. The aircraft departed from Varanasi Airport at 12:45 local time and the flight was normal till touch down on runway 19 on Khajuraho Airport. The captain was pilot flying and co-pilot was carrying out duty of Pilot Monitoring.

The captain carried out an ILS approach and landing on runway 19 at Khajuraho Airport. At touchdown the aircraft pitch was 4.39° with a vertical deceleration of 1.65G and a touchdown speed of 120 kts (Vref -4kts). During landing roll, 15 seconds after touchdown, at speed 36 knots the left main landing gear aft trunnion pin broke and the aircraft started deviating to the left of the center line. The aircraft came to stop on the runway with damage to the left hand main landing gear and resting on the no.1 engine, nose and right hand landing gear. Hydraulic fluid spillage occurred due to damage to the main landing gear.

An emergency evacuation was carried out on the runway. All four main doors, escape slides and four emergency over wing exits were opened. However, the passengers used two escape slides (L1 and R1) for evacuation. One cabin crew member received minor injuries (bruises) during evacuation.

The runway was closed after the accident as aircraft became disabled on the runway. The disabled aircraft was removed from the runway at 16:45 hours.

On Monday 1 July 2019 with SPICE JET livery and registration VT-SYK as flight SG6237, suffered a runway excursion after landing on runway 27 at Mumbai, India in moderate to heavy rain.

The flight departed Jaipur International Airport with the captain as Pilot Flying.

The pilots had carried out briefing for the approach including the weather and go around actions, if required. The aircraft commenced descent into Mumbai in the late evening hours. As per the reported weather at the time of approach visibility was 2100 metres in rain. Reported winds were 090/12 Knots. Runway was wet and the trend provided was "temporary reduction in visibility to 1500 metres with thunder/ showers of rain".

During descend at an IAS disagree warning was observed, indicating a discrepancy of airspeed between the instrument sources for the flight crew. Although this indication was momentary, the Non-Normal Checklist was carried out. The indication discrepancy did not recur for the remainder of the flight.

The aircraft was radar vectored for an ILS approach for Runway 27 at Mumbai. The approach was stabilized by 38700 feet with landing gear down and flaps 30 and auto brake selected at 3. The autopilot was engaged throughout the descent phase and during approach, the second autopilot was coupled for the ILS approach. At 100 feet, the autopilot and the auto-throttle were disengaged by the PF. The flare manoeuvre consumed approximately 5807 feet of the runway length prior to touchdown with 3881 feet runway remaining. After touchdown, the speed brakes deployed automatically and maximum reverse thrust and wheel brakes were applied. The aircraft exited the paved surface at 65 Knots and came to rest at a distance of 615 feet beyond the end of the runway. The nose landing gear had collapsed.

Once the aircraft came to rest, the flight crew advised cabin crew to be at their stations. The pilots were unable to contact ATC through VHF communication. The PF contacted his airline personnel using mobile phone and informed that the aircraft had overrun the runway and requested for step ladders. The ATC activated fire services and the runway was closed for operation. An assessment of the aircraft structure and occupants was made and the fire services personnel informed the cabin crew that deplaning was to be carried out using fire ladders. There were no injuries during evacuation or otherwise.Airplane was withdrawn from use.

Automatic pilots like this one guided the JB-2 to its target. The heading, altitude, and length of flight were pre-set into the autopilot before launching. Gyroscopes, servo-motors, an air-log counter, a compass and an altitude control instrument assisted the autopilot during flight. The servo-motors, geared to the autopilot, adjusted the missile's control surfaces (elevators and rudder) to maintain target heading. The automatic pilot and servo-motors operated on compressed air carried in tanks aboard the missile. The JB-2 was a U.S. version of the German V-1 "Buzz Bomb."

Eve and the Autopilot!

I have no clue of what it does / what there is inside. But this is a patented circuit, btw.

Istanbul Ataturk airport ....June 2007.First flight 24/01/2002.On Wednesday 25/02/2009 1,5 km (0.9 mls) S of Amsterdam-Schiphol International Airport (AMS) .Turkish Airlines Flight TK1951, a Boeing 737-800, departed Istanbul-Atatürk International Airport (IST) for a flight to Amsterdam-Schiphol International Airport (AMS), The Netherlands. The flight crew consisted of three pilots: a line training captain who occupied the left seat, a first officer under line training in the right seat and an additional first officer who occupied the flight deck jump seat. The first officer under line training was the pilot flying. The en route part of the flight was uneventful.

The flight was descending for Schiphol and passed overhead Flevoland at about 8500 ft. At that time the aural landing gear warning sounded.

The aircraft continued and was then directed by Air Traffic Control towards runway 18R for an ILS approach and landing. The crew performed the approach with one of the two autopilot and autothrottle engaged. The standard procedure for runway 18R prescribes that the aircraft is lined up at least 8 NM from the runway threshold at an altitude of 2000 feet. The glidepath is then approached and intercepted from below. Lining up at a distance between 5 and 8 NM is allowed when permitted by ATC.

Flight 1951 was vectored for a line up at approximately 6 NM at an altitude of 2000 feet. The glide slope was now approached from above.

The landing gear was selected down and flaps 15 were set. While descending through 1950 feet, the radio altimeter value suddenly changed to -8 feet. And again the aural landing gear warning sounded.

Once the localizer was intercepted the crew selected, by means of the vertical speed mode of the auto pilot, a descent speed of 1400 feet per minute to intercept the glide path. The autothrottle system entered the retard mode, and the thrust levers were moved to the idle position and remained in retard mode. Normally this mode is automatically engaged during landing flare just prior to touchdown.

The glide path was intercepted at approximately 1330 feet and the aircraft was now also at the correct altitude for the approach of runway 18R. The aircraft speed had during the time the aircraft was in vertical speed modus increased to 169 knots, and decreased again when the aircraft followed the glide path.

At approximately 900 feet, the flaps were selected to 40 by the crew and the speed continued to decrease. At approximately 770 feet, the crew set the selected airspeed to 144 knots. At that moment the actual airspeed was 144 knots. The autothrottle system should have maintained the speed selected by the crew but, with the thrust levers at idle, speed continued to decay. Because the auto pilot wanted to maintain the glide scope, the automatic flight system, in response, commanded increasing nose up pitch and applied nose up stabiliser trim.

The stick shakers activated at approximately 460 feet, warning the crew that the angle of attack (AOA) was too high. The data of the digital flight data recorder show that the thrust levers were immediately advanced but moved back to idle. When the thrust levers returned to idle, the autothrottle was disengaged. Whether these actions were performed by the crew or automatically is still under investigation. At that moment, the speed was approximately 110 knots, the pitch angle was approximately 11° Aircraft Nose Up (ANU) and the recorded AOA was approximately 20°.

At 420 feet the autopilot was disengaged by the crew and attempts were made to recover the correct flight position by pitching the aircraft. At 310 feet a nose down angle was reached of 8° beneath horizon. Almost simultaneously the thrust levers were advanced to their most forward position after which the aircraft ascended somewhat and the nose position increased.

According to the last recorded data of the digital flight data recorder the aircraft was in a 22° ANU and 10° Left Wing Down (LWD) position at the moment of impact.

The airplane impacted farmland. The horizontal stabilizer and both main landing gear legs were separated from the aircraft and located near the initial impact point. The left and right engines had detached from the aircraft.

The aft fuselage, with vertical stabilizer, was broken circumferentially forward of the aft passenger doors and had sustained significant damage. The fuselage had ruptured at the right side forward of the wings. The forward fuselage section, which contained the cockpit and seat rows 1 to 7, had been significantly disrupted. The rear fuselage section was broken circumferentially around row 28.The aircraft was written off....fatalities 9.
