Luxury aircraft 🚀🚀🖤💛
In 1990, the windshield of British Airways Flight 5390 came off at an altitude of 17,000 feet. This triggered a sudden decompression in the cockpit, resulting in the captain being partially ejected out of the aircraft.
As luck would have it, Nigel Ogden, a flight attendant, was on his way into the cockpit at that moment. He managed to grab hold of the captain and maintain his grip for over 20 minutes while the copilot attempted an urgent landing.
Although the majority of the crew presumed that the pilot had already lost his life, Ogden did not let go.
There was a prevailing fear that if Ogden did release his hold, the pilot's body might strike the plane's engine, wing, or stabilizer, causing even more chaos.
All Ogden knew was that the pilot was gradually slipping more and more out of the window and his head was continuously being battered against the airplane's body.
Finally, after a distressing 20-minute flight with a gaping window, the aircraft was safely brought down at Southampton Airport. In the course of events, Ogden suffered from frostbite on his face, damage to one of his eyes, and a dislocated shoulder. In a miraculous turn of events, the pilot survived the ordeal, although he had frostbite and multiple fractures on his arms and hands.

The Nigeria Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo said the then Minister entered an agreement with .ethiopian for the Nigerian National carrier on Tax waivers, Staff/Management Employment amongst others.
He faulted the five-year tax waiver given to Ethiopian Airlines amongst other suspicious agreements entered which was bemoaned by other commercial airlines and AON.
He said: "I cannot preempt my President; all reports have been forwarded fo the President". Based on these findings, Nigeria 🇳🇬 Air has been suspended.

FEMALE BRITISH AIRWAYS ZIMBABWEAN 🇿🇼 ENGINEER INSPIRES OTHER WOMEN TO FIX JETS
A female engineer with British Airways is helping inspire other women to fix jets.
Tsungi Maruta, 26, fell in love with aircraft from the age of five when her mother Violet was regularly flying between London and the family home in Harare, Zimbabwe.
After moving to the UK with her family at six, Ms Maruta was in sixth-form college in 2016 when the airline opened its apprenticeship scheme.
At school and college, Ms Maruta had found there were no role models or degree courses that would allow her to follow her career path.
Tsungi Maruta speaks to scores of female students from several West London schools invited to Heathrow’s engineering facility ( British Airways )
She now speaks to scores of female students from several West London schools invited to Heathrow’s engineering facility.
“I’m a big believer in passion and if you’ve got it, it will sustain your dreams,” she added.
“It helps to just keep going and never take no for an answer.
“I didn’t have role model when I was growing up. Whatever stereotypes there are of a ‘BA engineer’, as a 5ft 2ins woman I challenge them all.
“So it’s all about visibility to encourage more women to join.
“Entering a male dominated world can be daunting but for me it’s been very positive.
“The guys I work with are really supportive and make me feel part of the team. I think my presence has had a positive impact on the men I work with too.”
Ms Maruta, of Ealing, is one of a growing number of female mechanics fixing BA’s 300 planes, including Airbus A380s and Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Engineering is one of the most diverse areas of BA’s ground crew with an increasing number of women. But the national carrier wants to recruit more in 2019, its centenary year.
From the age of five, I knew I wanted to be an aircraft engineer. I owe that to my Mum. I grew up in Zimbabwe and she flew between Harare and Heathrow quite often.
“Seeing the mechanics sparked my curiosity. I was thinking ‘What’s that about?’ and it stemmed from there. — UK Evening Standard
Just In:
The Minister of Aviation to Nigeria went to Norway for an inspection of Aviation Safety equipment.
On his Twitter handle now "X", he tweeted below:
"Earlier today, in Larvik, near Oslo in Norway, I conducted an inspection visit to the company called Jotron which specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of communications and safety equipment for the aviation industry. The purpose of this visit was to personally assess and officially accept the communication equipment purchased by the Federal Government for twelve of our control towers in Nigeria. These control towers are the ones located in Akure, Benin, Calabar, Enugu, Ibadan, Ilorin, Jos, Kaduna, Minna, Owerri, Sokoto, and Yola. Joining me on this visit was the MD of one of our agencies (NAMA) Engr. T. Odunowo, Engr. Farouk A. Umar, the Director of Safety Electronics and Engineering Services, and other technical experts from NAMA".
FUTURE CAPTAINS. ❤️❤️❤️❤️✈️✈️✈️
Ethiopian Airlines
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has urged Nigerians not to accept food items not packed by them when travelling, as the agency intercepted narcotics concealed in packs of semovita and dry pepper.
This was contained in a statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, released on his X account, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.
It read, “Operatives of the NDLEA had intercepted various quantities of ephedrine, skunk and nitrous oxide, popularly known as laughing gas concealed in semovita packs and dry pepper being shipped to South Africa and Kenya through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos
“The parcel of a packaged food item isn’t always what you think it is. Again, we insist, don’t accept any item not packed by you when travelling. Save yourself the ordeal.”
The agency said the narcotics were being shipped by members of Transnational Drug Trafficking Organisations, some of whom were promptly arrested, their mansions raided and their luxury vehicles seized.
In another statement on the agency’s website, Babafemi said, “Through credible intelligence, NDLEA operatives on Friday 25th August intercepted a notorious drug trafficker, Suleiman Babatunde Oba, who is a member of a cartel distributing Co***ne, He**in, Methamphetamine and Ephedrine between Nigeria, Brazil, Ghana, South Africa, Mozambique, and Europe.
“He was arrested while attempting to board a Rwanda Air flight to South Africa with two boxes loaded with ephedrine sealed in semovita packs. The recovered substance is a precursor chemical and active ingredient in the production of methamphetamine.”
“In his statement, Suleiman who holds a South African passport, is married to a South African lady and has lived there for over 20 years, identified Hakeem Babatunde Salami who equally lives in Lagos and South Africa as the head of the drug ring.
“A follow-up raid in the house of Salami located at 75 Wosilatu Dawodu Street, Ijesha, Aguda area of Surulere, Lagos on Monday 28th August revealed that he had fled the country on the same day Suleiman was arrested.
“However, a white Toyota Venza car with registration number LSR 410 HT, a Mercedes Benz SUV marked L*D 998HP, phones and vital documents needed for further investigation were recovered from the house.”
The statement further reads, “Meanwhile, NDLEA operatives on Friday 25th August succeeded in arresting a drug kingpin, Ngene Emmanuel Onyedikachi, who recruited the fake couple, Ilonzeh Kingsley Onyebuchi and Ilonzeh Roseline Nonyelum arrested for ingesting 1.822kg and 1.50kg of Co***ne respectively at the Lagos airport on 1st August while on their way to India.
The kingpin was picked at his residence located at 28 Afolabi Brown Street, Akoka, Yaba, after intensive surveillance that lasted 25 days.”

OLS for Aircraft Landings
An Optical Landing System (OLS) is a technology used on aircraft carriers to assist pilots during the critical phase of landing on the carrier deck. It consists of a series of lights and lenses positioned along the deck and on the carrier's island (superstructure) that provide visual cues to the approaching aircraft. These cues help pilots gauge their altitude and alignment with the desired glide path. By observing the lights and their relative positions, pilots can adjust their descent and approach angle to ensure a safe and precise landing. The OLS is particularly useful in adverse weather conditions or during night operations when visibility is limited. It's a crucial tool that enhances the safety and effectiveness of aircraft landings on aircraft carriers.
Is it the same as PAPI& VASI ?
PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator), VASI (Visual Approach Slope Indicator), and OLS (Optical Landing System) are all visual landing aids used to guide aircraft during the approach and landing phases. Despite their differences, there are a few similarities among these systems:
Visual Guidance: All three systems provide visual cues to pilots to assist them in maintaining the correct approach path and altitude during landing. They use a combination of lights to convey information about the aircraft's position relative to the desired glide path.
Vertical Guidance: Both PAPI and VASI systems offer vertical guidance, helping pilots maintain the proper descent angle for a safe landing. The lights' arrangement and colors indicate whether the aircraft is too high, too low, or on the correct glide path.
Enhanced Safety: The primary purpose of these systems is to enhance the safety of aircraft landings. They help pilots maintain proper alignment and altitude during the critical phase of landing, reducing the risk of accidents caused by incorrect approach angles.
Universal Standards: PAPI and VASI systems follow standardized configurations and guidelines, making them consistent across different airports and airstrips. This ensures that pilots are familiar with the visual cues regardless of their location.
While these systems share some common goals and features, it's important to note that OLS is specifically designed for carrier-based landings and operates under more challenging conditions due to the moving deck and confined space on aircraft carriers. PAPI and VASI, on the other hand, are used on fixed runways and are adapted to different types of airfields.

Airplane Parts & Uses.
An airplane consists of several essential parts, each serving specific functions. Here are some key parts and their uses:
Fuselage: The main body of the airplane, housing the cockpit, passenger cabin, and cargo hold.
Wings: Generate lift, allowing the plane to stay airborne.
Empennage (Tail): Includes the vertical stabilizer (fin) and horizontal stabilizers (elevators). Stabilizes the aircraft in flight.
Cockpit: Where the pilots control the airplane and monitor its systems.
Engines: Provide the thrust needed to propel the airplane forward.
Landing Gear: Supports the airplane during takeoff and landing, and retracts during flight.
Ailerons: Located on the wings, they control the roll of the airplane.
Flaps: Positioned on the wings, they increase lift during takeoff and landing.
Spoilers: Help reduce lift and increase drag, aiding in descent and landing.
Slats: Located on the leading edge of the wings, they enhance lift at low speeds.
Rudder: Part of the tail section, it controls the yaw (sideways movement) of the airplane.
Elevators: Found on the tail, they control the pitch (upward and downward movement) of the airplane.
Each part plays a crucial role in ensuring the aircraft's stability, control, and safety during various phases of flight.from takeoff and cruising to landing.

Air Canada Boeing 777-300ER Damaged After Truck Catches On Fire
On July 9, an Air Canada Boeing 777-300ER, which was registered as C-FITL, was damaged due to a nearby ground vehicle catching fire. The incident occurred at gate 66 at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL).
At nearly 15:15 local time, a water truck was delivering fresh water to the aircraft's tanks and was located underneath the aircraft's tail cone and empennage. The ground vehicle unexpectedly caught fire and was quickly engulfed in flames. The resulting fire caused flames and plumes of black smoke to immerse the tail cone of the vehicle.
Thick black smoke ended up entering the cabin from the intensity of the flames. An airline spokesperson stated that several passengers were aboard when the fire broke out, although the remaining passengers that were quickly deplaned. Emergency crews quickly reacted to the fire and completely contained the fire within 30 minutes.No injuries or casualties were reported.
just hit the relatively small but exciting milestone of 500 hours flying the Airbus A320. It’s been one of the absolute privileges of my life, and has included-- 176 flights to 37 destinations- 32,996 passengers carried- 2 unexpected layovers- 3 go arounds- 1 bird strike- 2 diversions- 326,261km (176,167nm) flown- And countless lessons learned from a brilliantly supportive team of Captains and Trainers.
Officially hit 1000 hours the other day!! Definitely felt like it took ages to get here but nonetheless a lot of hard work! When I was unemployed for a year and half struggling to find any type of flying I could’ve only dreamed of this moment, feeling immensely grateful 🫶 Keep pushing everyone we all started with 0 hours Small milestones 🥹 #737
