Two days ago, the Jeju Airlines airliner, which frightened passengers over the aircraft in Gimhae, showed signs of failure even before departure.
It is pointed out that the operation was carried out when the maintenance and safety issues were not completely solved.
Jeju Air's 7C207 flight, which was scheduled to leave Busan at 7:30 pm and head for Gimpo on the 25th, left the gate at Gimhae Airport one hour and thirteen minutes later than the scheduled departure time and took off at 8:50 pm.
Nine minutes after takeoff, flight 7C207 detected an error in the autopilot.
In the process, 184 passengers were terrified for more than 40 minutes as the crew warned them of an emergency landing on board.
One passenger said, "There was an abnormal symptom, such as shaking the aircraft about 10 minutes after takeoff, and after 10 minutes, the interior light went out, and there is a possibility of emergency escape, all the luggage should be discarded and as close to the front seat as possible." The broadcast came out. "
The other passenger said, "The passengers were very surprised and scared when the cabin lights went off and the cabin light went out to prepare for an emergency escape."
Jeju Air explained, "After the flight decision, the crew informed them of the possibility of an emergency landing, and according to the manual, the passengers were watched for the removal of sharps, the removal of high heels, the condition of the belt, and the emergency exit passenger duties."
An aviation industry official said, "It is necessary to announce and prepare for a dangerous situation, but there seems to be overreaction in this situation."
Jeju Air is able to fly manually by operating the pilot's control device even in the event of an autopilot error signal.
The aircraft landed again at Gimhae Airport at 9:34 pm, 44 minutes after takeoff, and the 'emergency' was over.
The aircraft was found to have undergone over one hour of maintenance on the eve of takeoff.
The aircraft was ready to depart about 7:25 in the evening, but due to an aircraft navigation altitude maintenance system switch check reason just before departure, it delayed its departure by 1 hour and 5 minutes to resolve the issue.
Jeju Air explained, "We left the gate at 8:43 pm and took off at 8:50 pm, which was delayed by 1 hour and 13 minutes due to safety checks and documentation."
The Department of Homeland is investigating the overall emergency.
A Ministry of Homeland official said, "We are looking at whether the pilot decided to fly over Gimhae to solve the abnormal situation and reviewing recent aircraft maintenance records." I'm also looking at whether it was. "
