US-Bangla Airlines Flight 211

On 12 March 2018, US-Bangla flight 211 crashed during landing in Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. Killing 51 of 71 people on board including Captain Abid Sultan and First Officer Prithula Rashid. The aircraft was a 76 seater Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 manufactured in Canada.

The captain was extremely experienced and he flew in and out of Kathmandu repeatedly, he knew the route he knew the plane better than anyone on that airline. 

The Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu is at the foothills of the Himalayas and on high and uneven ground according to Pilot/Aviation analyst Sylvia Wrigley, ‘Pilots consider it as one of the most challenging airports in the world’. The Airport had two landing strips: the planes that approach the airport from south land on runway 0-2 and the planes that approach from the north land on 2-0.

The US-Bangla flight 211 was approaching to land on runway 0-2 but the aircraft wasn’t ready to land. The pilot didn’t see the runway and had overflown the entire runway. Upon seeing it the air traffic control of the airport redirects the aircraft to turn left and land on runway 2-0. But still the plane wasn’t lining up with the runway. The pilot couldn’t see the runway. When the first officer notices the runway the pilots make a last minute adjustment to try to line up with the runway. The plane flies recklessly off course towards the control tower of the airport flying it like a fighter jet. The captain tries and almost manages to line up with the runway. One wheel touches the runway and skids off the runway and bursts into flames 440 meters of the runway into a football field.

A multinational commission consisting of the delegates from Nepal, Bangladesh and Canada representing the plane's manufacturer was formed to investigate the incident. According to one of the investigators Sunil Pradhan, ‘The aircraft was broken into two pieces, the fuselage was broken and most of the parts were engulfed in fire, post-catch fire and cockpit was completely smashed.’ The team was lucky that the cockpit voice recorder and aircraft’s flight data recorder escaped the fire and was sent to Ottawa for analysis by the Canadian Transportation Safety Board.

Investigators after seeing the reports ruled out a mechanical failure according to Sunil Pradhan, ‘The flight data recorder didn’t indicate any malfunction in the aircraft. So, we definitely could rule out any flight control problem,’ The data showed the captain made some severe inputs to his control column near the end of the flight. The investigators listened to the cockpit voice recorder, they found the captain smoking, breaking the standard operating procedures. Dr. Rajeeb Deo, one of the investigators said, ‘Smoking is strictly prohibited in the cockpit, so it was a gross violation by the captain.’ 

The captain's vocal pitch indicated that he was extremely agitated and stressed. Captain was emotionally unstable. He was stressed as he was told by one of his colleagues that he wasn't a good instructor, he was desperate to salvage his reputation. Moreover the captain hasn’t slept the whole night and was sleep deprived. The Captain had a history of depression. He was a pilot for the Bangladesh Airforce but was given force retirement as he was declared unfit to fly.

Investigators finally have a clear picture of what happened on board. Distraction caused the captain to mismanage the approach, consumed by his need to prove to the first officer that he is a good pilot, the captain ignored warning signs that he was not ready for landing. The captain flies the plane in circles and tries to make an impossible landing because of his sheer desperation and wanting to land at any cost.

The investigators concluded that it was a human error that contributed to the cause of this US-Bangla Airlines Flight 211 accident. The captain totally mismanaged the flight. 

In the investigation report the investigators recommend that pilots who have been grounded for medical reasons be given thorough physical and physiological examinations before their license can be renewed.

Hi. I’m Go.

I’ll introduce which type of airplane we are going to be on board when we go to Canada.

Firstly, we’re gonna get on the airplane called Boeing 787-9 to go to Vancouver. This is very new type of airplanes. Thanks to the engines which are made from sound-absorbing material, the environment of its cabin is so comfortable.

The 787's cabin windows are larger than any other passenger jets, so you can enjoy the view from the sky. Also, the windows have no plastic window shades. Instead of that, 787 have electronic shades which allow passengers to select 5 levels of sunlight and visibility.

787 is very high-tech airplane. Please enjoy the flight with Boeing 787.

After we arrive at Vancouver Airport, we’re gonna take connecting flight to Kelowna. We’re gonna get on the airplane called DHC-8-Q400. This is a turboprop-powered regional airplane. Unlike the 787 which have two jet engines, DHC-8 have two propeller engines. The cabin size is smaller than 787. I’ve never got on this airplane so I’m very looking forward to being on board this airplane.

Landing on a road

Have you ever landed on a road? On purpose? I haven’t.

But I’ve seen videos of aircraft, mostly in Alaska, taking off or landing on roads in rural Alaska. You probably have as well.

While there are many roads that would make fine runways, especially in an emergency, I have a hard time picturing myself using them as part of “normal” operations. But that’s me, and my personal minimums.

To get a better understanding of what it is like to land on a road, I reached out to pilot and YouTuber Dmitry Kudryn. We’ve featured a number of his Crave Life videos on GeneralAviationNews.com.

Following is a lightly edited Q&A with Dmitry, who flies a Cessna 172 and a Bellanca Citabria on his many adventures.

Q: Is landing on a road in Alaska legal? Or is it better said as not illegal?

A: This is a great question and very important when considering a landing on a road.

The FARs do not have any language that would prohibit a landing on a highway. The most important piece to consider is local and state laws. What works in Alaska may not be practical or legal in other states.

Alaska has many locations that do not have a formal airport, thus the need for alternative options to get into these remote locations. The off-airport bush flying scene is no secret in Alaska and actually quite common.

Landing on the road system is not something encouraged by local and state governments, but is not considered illegal. That said, exercising good decision making is required. If a more suitable option is available, other than the road, that would be my choice.

Q. Can you fly to the grocery store, as in normal operations, or is landing on a road viewed as a back-up plan?

A. Yes, you indeed can fly to a grocery store. In fact, many living in rural Alaska do just that. Flying the family airplane into the nearest town or city for a “grocery run” or “Costco run” is common and in some places the only option.

Q. Are there places known to be as more acceptable for road operations?

A. One particular destination where you will find airplanes sharing a major highway with vehicles is in Cantwell, Alaska. You’ll pull off the highway to access the convenience store while driving North to Fairbanks and see aircraft standing in the same parking lot stocking up on food, supplies, and fuel. Ironically, the Cantwell airport is just a short distance away, yet it’s much more convenient to fly than walk.

Q: You’ve done it. What’s it like to land on a road? What are the obvious, and not obvious, differences to landing on a runway or in the backcountry?

A. Prior to landing on a road, I did my due diligence and spoke to my friends at the FAA. They are always the best source if you aren’t sure something is legal or looking for some guidance in an area you aren’t familiar with.

The procedure I use is one recommended to me by the FAA and ones obvious to pilots:

Clear the landing area in both directions; Look for traffic, wildlife, and any obstructions, such as power lines, mailboxes, signs, etc.; Identify the favorable winds; and Land with a high level of vigilance for unexpected changes.

Safety is #1. Don’t ever compromise it. If the conditions are not right, proceed to your alternate.

I do not recommend landing on a road for the sake of doing it. In many situations it can be very hazardous and can result in an accident.

The less obvious things in the backcountry to consider are:

You don’t have a windsock, so I read the wind direction on the lakes and rivers. If there’s no water, then look at treetops or any vegetation.

Firmness of the landing surface can be deceitful. In the spring or early summer, many backcountry destinations are soft and take time to firm up. This condition can return with increased levels of moisture. Inspecting multiple times and running the wheels across surfaces is a common technique used prior to committing to a landing. With speed, soft surface will be displaced and leave ruts. If I see ruts, I don’t land.

Again, safety is one thing I can’t stress enough! Just because you have done it before doesn’t make the next time safer. Never let complacency settle in. The “been there done that” attitude is a trap that will result in tragedy.

I categorize everything in life into two categories: Risk vs. recklessness. I am comfortable with managed risk, but I do not engage in recklessness.

Q: What is your story Dmitry? Are you an Alaska native? If not, where are you from and why’d you settle in Alaska?

I was born in the Ukraine and am the oldest of 12 children (eight brothers and three sisters). I am married to my beautiful wife of 14 years and together we have four children (two boys and two girls, in that order.)

In 1989 my parents immigrated to Walla Walla, Washington. We moved to Alaska in 1999 and my parents decided to home school me for high school. This turned out to be an advantage for me. Home schooling gave me the time to work a lot of odd jobs to fund flight training.

I started flying when I was 14 years old. I soloed an airplane before I could obtain a driver’s license and went on to become the youngest pilot hired at two separate airlines.

My father taught me at a young age the value of hard work and this helped me self fund my entire aviation training without any debt, which I am very thankful for.

I got hired to fly the DHC-6 Twin Otter at 18 years of age, with 253 hours total time and the ink still wet on my new commercial pilots license. The requirement was 250TT at the time. Things sure have changed!

I ended up with jet fever and at 19 was hired into the EMB-145 regional jet. I eventually settled into the DHC-8 Q400 for the long haul, or at least so I thought. Sadly the economy took a turn for the worse in 2008. I found myself in a dilemma of a possible furlough looming.

At that time the entrepreneurial passion of my teens was re-ignited and I started a business buying and selling products. That eventually led from one thing to the next and finally put me at an ultimatum: Do I continue to fly professionally or go full time in my business.

Ten years since retiring from the airlines, I am the CEO of CraveDirect.com, which manufactures a range of consumer electronic products for everyday gadgets with operations in 12 countries on five continents.

While I do miss commercial flying from time to time, I quench the flying cravings by flying just for fun all over Alaska.

I take great enjoyment in helping others see their own potential to do more than the status quo. If you push yourself outside of your comfort zone, you will accomplish things that your mind cannot fully grasp until you actually try. I am one of those types of people who would rather fail trying than later regret not trying.

Hard work is one of the greatest life hacks I have learned and what allowed me to achieve things that are against all the odds. It’s a lot simpler in hindsight then when you’re just starting out. The key is not to wait for the perfect time, but start working on your dreams now! You’ll be amazed at the results.

Q: You have a lot of videos on your Crave Life YouTube channel. How did you get into shooting video?

A. Back when I was a teenager, I had a hobby of taking pictures of airplanes at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC). That hobby came back when I decided to share all my crazy adventures and travels with others.

I find video a great way to help others see what great memories can be made with a simple camera doing the things you enjoy. I named my YouTube channel Crave Life, with the purpose of encouraging others to get out and adventure more. Now is the time to go on your next adventure and experience the beauty of the country we live in!
