777 Gets Trapped Above the Clouds and Can’t Land
2,694777 Gets Trapped Above the Clouds and Can’t Land (Air India Flight 101)
Episode 5 of Air Traffic Control Stories
After a 15-hour non-stop flight from Delhi, India, on approach into New York, Air India Flight 101 began encountering multiple system failures.
None of the instruments in the Boeing 777-300ER meant to help the pilots land the plane were operational, such as auto-land and the Instrument Landing System. The weather in New York was poor and in some places, the cloud base was as low as 200 feet.
They couldn’t land somewhere else because the fuel was running out after the long flight from India. With multiple systems failing, low fuel, and no visibility, the pilots were responsible for the lives of 370 people on board.
This is the real conversation between the pilots and air traffic control on the morning of September 11, 2018.
