Air Astana Embraer ERJ-190LR from Lisbon Airport declared a “mayday” with loss of instruments
On 11 November, an Air Astana Embraer ERJ-190LR (P4-KCJ) from Lisbon Airport to a currently unknown destination as KC1388 declared a “Mayday” with loss of instruments. The pilots briefly considered a ditching but were able to regain control of the aircraft and the aircraft headed to Beja Airport for a safe landing on runway 19R. During the emergency situation, F-16 fighter jets scrambled to assist the aircraft. (www.aviation24.be) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I see one account that the aircraft was being returned to service from a 'C' check and that it appears the flight controls had been reversed.
Not that is is necessarily relevant but this flight's occupants consisted of 3 pilots and 3 technicians-not your typical configuration and clearly not a revenue flight-which begs the question of its purpose...post-maintenance...ferry? The flight's purpose may be a factor in the underlying cause of the malfunctions.
