An Easyjet pilot flew too much to the mountain after a jet carrying about 200 people.
The captain of Paul al -Surith last month runs an Easyjet flight traveling from Manchester Airport to the Red Sea city of Horgada, Egypt.
Since the Airbus A320 began to go down on February 2, the GPWS Alarm System (GPWS), a safety feature that warns a potential collision with the ground, was created in the pilot’s cabin.
As a result, the jet was stretched out and its surface. Passengers were unaware that the plane was recently closer to a mountain than it had to fly.
One survey found that the aircraft was at 770 feet from the mountain peak while flying on a range at a height of 3,100 feet. Pilots typically fly about 6,000 feet from this mountain range.
Sources said The sun Before the GPWs call the alarm, the jet was declining in the 4.928 minute.
Official investigations are being carried out after Mr Al Surith reported the incident the next day before returning to the Horgada Airport and the pilot of the aircraft.
In line with the protocol, Easyjet banned the captain from flying to England and returned to Manchester as a passenger. The sun Reports
“In a moment of the flight drama, the authorities walked and the al -Surith Paul was banned from piloting a plane,” the Sun source said.
“The pilot is asked detailed questions. GPWs only appear when the plane goes to the ground – in this case it looks like a mountain.
“It seems that the passengers on the board were unaware of fear, and that they were unaware of the landing to Egypt to the mountain.”
Upon returning to England, Mr. al -Surith has been officially suspended as the investigation is ongoing.
As part of the investigation, Mr. al -Surith and the first officer’s account are helping to understand what has happened.
According to the Sun, the suspended captain said he would be inappropriate for him.
In a statement to Independent“Safety is the number one priority for all our pilots, they are taught to the highest standards of the industry, subject to careful and closely tested testing,” Easyjet said.
“Flying normally landed on the ground and as we have ongoing research, the pilot is still standing in accordance with the procedures.”
