'Heavy landing’ in Hong Kong, Jet pilot doesn’t report case
A top Jet Airways pilot allegedly did not report a heavy landing made by a wide body aircraft due to which the plane was not subjected to mandatory structural safety checks and kept flying without the same. The alleged non-reporting happened April 28, 2017, while operating a flight on a Boeing 777 from Delhi to Hong Kong. The commander was also acting as the designated examiner, doing the tenth and final route check of a co-pilot who would have been promoted to the rank of captain, had he operated this flight perfectly. However, due to some reportedly incorrect procedures like "inadequate flare" the aircraft touched down before the touch down point and made a heavy landing. The crew did not report the issue due to which the aircraft has been flying unchecked since the heavy landing last week. <br/>
