I havent been able to find anything on AVHerald (http://www.avherald.com/) or any other site such as http://aviation-safety.net/index.php about this incident but that isnt at all unusual. The other day I posted an incident about an air ambulance again returning to Sydney (Australia) with the pilot having to manually pump the landing gear down which a day or two before had been 'newsworthy.' Apparently as they say what is yesterday's news lays on the bottom of the birdcage today. Aircraft return for all manner of reasons (I heard on my scanner today a Qantaslink Dash8 on decent into Sydney with a defective transponder and the back-up didnt work either. Needless to say this aircraft will likely be off to maintenance before flying again but the 'incident' wont make any news outlets as it's 'relatively' routine). Often aircraft are advised by ATC that they cant fly in Controlled Airspace or that they are required to leave it for one reason or another but this isnt always reported.

Air Ambulance makes emergency landing at Sydney Airport
ADMIN;
The reason I posted this in the Flightradar24 section is because it is directly related to FR24- you can watch the flight on the map. If you're going to stick it in here, I'll remove the link and references to FR24 since it is very clear this section contains the phrase "Not related to Flightradar24"Last edited by fungus; 2012-10-24, 06:15.

TV show description:
This dramatic new documentary follows an international team of scientists, experts and elite pilots as they deliberately crash land a 170-seat Boeing 727 passenger jet to provide a once-in-a-generation chance to study the mechanics of a plane crash in real time.
The documentary recreates a common type of crash - a serious, but survivable 'forced landing' - in order to study the crashworthiness of the aircraft's airframe and cabin, examine the impact of crashes on the human body, and look for possible means of increasing passenger survivability.
By crashing the plane, the programme also aims to answer key questions - such as whether sitting at the front or the rear of the aircraft, wearing a seat belt, and whether you use the brace position - can make the difference between life and death.
Fed Ex captain James 'JimBob' Slocum, who has previously survived three plane crashes, pilots the passenger jet, nick-named 'Big Flo' (after crew member Leland 'Chip' Shanle's grandmother, Florence) on her last flight.
Putting their lives on the line, JimBob and the rest of the crew aim to parachute from the plane just minutes before impact, after setting it on a crash course.
The plane will then be flown remotely until impact from a chase plane by former US Navy pilot Leland 'Chip' Shanle - making it the world's biggest remote controlled aircraft. Flying at 140 mph, and descending at 1500 feet per minute, the aircraft will crash land nose down in a remote and uninhabited area of Mexican desert.
Rather than carrying passengers, the plane is packed with state-of-the-art research equipment, including three crash test dummies worth $150,000 each (plus a number of simpler sand bag dummies) and accelerometers to measure the G forces on passengers.
Dozens of cameras record the crash from inside the aircraft, on the ground, in chase planes and even on the pilot's helmet.
btw: Time is GMT.Last edited by DanTheMan; 2012-10-09, 13:42.
