Could the crash of the BA Boeing 777 be due to water in the fuel?

Written by Capt Lim, on 16-04-2008

Published in : Flying , Flying on the Boeing 777

Dear Captain Lim,

I read from a Chinese Aviation magazine (April 2008) about this subject. It was
reported that the crash was probably due to the existence of water (a natural
phenomenon) in the fuel. The water was frozen solid when the giant plane was enroute from
Beijing to London via the Artic Ocean. The frozen water or existence of mould blocked
the fuel supply to the engines. As a result, the engines ignored the instruction of
the flight computer to a small increase in power during its final approach. Was
this a reasonable guess as to the cause of the crash?

Also, have all 777 pilots been trained to handle a complete engine failure
during the final approach? I'm going to fly on a Boeing 777 on the same route in June
2008. Shall I consider choosing other airlines using other kind of aircraft?

Best Regards,

Janus Poon

Do the MD-90s have similar design problem as the MD-83s?

Written by Capt Lim, on 15-04-2008

Published in : Aviation , Air Crash Investigations

Dear Captain!

The Alaska Airlines tragedy in January 2000 happened because there was no
redundant system to the jackscrew in the tail assembly of the MD-83.

My question is about the MD-90s as a lot of them are still in service. Do they
also have similar design problem?

Thanks,

Talha

What improvements have been made after the Swiss Air tragedy?

Written by Capt Lim, on 15-04-2008

Published in : Aviation , Air Crash Investigations

Dear Captain Lim,

I have been reading about the Swiss Air Flight 111. I remember when it happened
and what an awful tragedy it was.
My question is - what improvements have been made since 1998, so that a similar
tragedy would never occur again? Also, is there a difference between Airbus and Boeing
in this regard?

Finally, do you feel that the pilots of Flight 111 could have made a safe
landing if they had been more decisive and immediately diverted for an emergency
landing?

Thanks,

Raymond

Can female pilots have successful marriages?

Written by Capt Lim, on 13-04-2008

Published in : Pilot Career , Female Pilots

Hi Captain Lim,

I have read some of your responses to ladies aspiring to be pilots. However,
there are a few things they never seem to ask. I know airline pilots can be very busy
and I always wonder if it is possible for lady pilots to maintain fulfilling
relationships with the opposite sex.

Is it even possible for then to have successful marriages considering the
traditional roles of women. Can they even have children?

Are aptitude tests for selecting pilots the same for all airlines?

Written by Capt Lim, on 09-04-2008

Published in : Pilot Career , Aptitude Tests

Hello Captain Lim,

Thank you so much for your website that has helped many aspiring pilots. I have
always wanted to be an airline pilot. Last year I applied for the Kenya Airways
ab-initio pilot trainee program and I have been invited for the aptitude test on
Wednesday at 8.00am Kenya time.
Please write to me soonest explaining what I should expect. Could the aptitude
tests by Kenya Airways be any different from Cathay Pacific or Malaysia Airlines that
I read in your website?

I will treasure your help so much.

Thank You.

Jeff
