walshie 2,804 Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 This plane nearly ran out of fuel because both pilots didn't follow the simple (you'd think) procedure of putting the wheels up after take off. Presumably there aren't warning lights on the dash to inform them of this. The fact it would only climb to 24,000 feet instead of 35,000 and it would only fly at 230 knots instead of the usual 500 didn't ring any alarm bells with them either. Reading on, both pilots were women. The only thing that could make this more a "woman driver" story is if they scraped it while parking it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/air-india-forgotten-landing-gear-low-fuel/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
