[email protected]DCD is a subsidiary of InfraXmedia was a hotel owner in the northwest England town of Chester he held commercial licenses for both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters In 2002 he had replaced his first airplane which he flew for 300 hours before grounding it for a thorough refurbishment that ended up taking five years The 310 returned to service in August 2013 at which time the pilot renewed his multiengine rating he flew in the 310 to Seo de Urgel in eastern Spain After a stay of several weeks during which he made a number of flights between airfields in Spain and France he and a companion set off on the return flight to Hawarden Airport The flight was uneventful until its final seconds on final approach to Runway 22 in fine weather and there was a sudden increase in engine sound before it pitched up The pilot died at the scene; his companion Two photographs taken by a casual plane spotter confirmed witness accounts of the airplane’s final gyration taken a few hundredths of a second before impact it is 10 feet above the ground in an inverted and so investigators were able to glean a good deal of information from the wreckage Damage to the blades of the right propeller and the fact that it had been twisted off the crankshaft indicated that its engine had been developing power on impact; the blades of the left propeller bent backward but not in the plane of rotation are the mains and are used for takeoff and landing — were nearly empty: Half a gallon remained in the left the 310 had auxiliary 20.5-gallon wing tanks; each contained eight gallons of fuel The injector distributor on the left engine was half empty Since the outlets to the injectors are halfway up the sides of the distributor body half empty is functionally equivalent to empty It seemed that with remarkably unlucky timing the left engine had run out of fuel on short final The pilot may have attributed the resulting leftward drift to a gust of wind It was a reaction that was reasonable for an approach that went unstable at the last moment but not for a twin flying below its minimum single-engine control speed The examiner who renewed the pilot’s multiengine qualification described his flying He was said by his pilot father and by various acquaintances to have been meticulous and particularly attentive to fuel planning He always checked fuel levels with a dipstick before flight and “would have been aware of the exact quantity of fuel required for a flight.” He was also concerned about fuel cost and carefully adjusted his power settings for best economy and he stayed abreast of fuel prices at different airfields just before the accident flight he had phoned ahead to Hawarden to compare the fuel price there with that at his departure airport of Lognes Avgas was about 53 cents a gallon less at Hawarden Investigators examined the fuel system and found no faults The quantity gauges and fuel flow indicators operated normally and were correctly calibrated They then reconstructed the likely fuel purchases and use for the accident flight and the one preceding it and compared them with the actual groundspeeds and times made good as recorded on the pilot’s tablet computer His assumptions about wind for this flight are unknown The actual headwinds over France were stronger than forecast for unknown reasons — perhaps just sightseeing — the leg from Lognes to the Channel had lasted 15 minutes longer than it should have The default groundspeed programmed into the computer would have resulted in a time of two hours 34 minutes for the 411 nm trip; the actual elapsed time was three hours five minutes At the pilot’s customary fuel burn of 21 gph he would have used about 10 gallons more than the computer predicted for no-wind conditions (The calculations in the accident report make no allowance for taxi and takeoff.) But why did the pilot — especially this pilot who was generally so interested in fuel — allow his main tanks to run dry without using the fuel in his aux tanks the Air Accidents Investigation Branch concluded that he had carried the aux tank fuel — about 45 minutes’ worth — untouched from Spain and did not intend to use it on this flight; that he took only as much fuel at Lognes as he expected to use but underestimated the duration of the flight; and that making mental calculations of fuel and distance remaining he failed to recognize until late in the flight that his main tank reserves were getting extremely low “Although he would not have intended or expected to land with such a low fuel state in the main tanks,” the report concludes “the fine weather conditions of the day and his familiarity with Hawarden may have been factors in his apparent acceptance of the situation.” The other aspect of the accident to reflect upon is the loss of control Hawarden has a single runway 6,700 feet long with 1,000-foot concrete underruns and overruns The wind at the time of the accident was 280 degrees at 5 knots The 310 was over the centerline and about 65 feet above the ground when it crossed the threshold of the Runway 22 underrun Its speed was about 70 knots — slightly below the minimum control speed of 75 knots and well below the recommended minimum approach speed of 90 knots From the gradually decreasing slope of the altitude profile recorded by the onboard GPS it is apparent that the pilot had already begun his flare At this moment the 310 began to drift to the left Since the main tank fuel gauges must have been indicating empty the pilot should have been expecting an engine to quit at any moment; but a left drift was consistent with a 60-degree right crosswind and he may not have immediately recognized its real cause If he attributed the drift to a gust of wind and added power to arrest his descent only the right engine would have responded lifting the right wing and turning the airplane still more to the left still descending and 20 or more degrees off heading instinctive addition of power to arrest the deteriorating situation led to the loss of control in the calm of a hangar this pilot could have given an accurate account of the relationship between power level and minimum control speed Precise modulation of the right engine’s power might — perhaps — have permitted him to level the wings maintain height and move back to the runway with room to land But surprise and precision are seldom found together This article is based on the AAIB’s report of the accident and is intended to bring the issues raised to our readers’ attention It is not intended to judge or to reach any definitive conclusions about the ability or capacity of any person Get online content like this delivered straight to your inbox by signing up for our free enewsletter.

They’d already done an initiation flight with me and it had gone very well. I thought it was a father who wanted to treat his son. It was a flying lesson like any other,” he told RTL radio “It was at that moment everything changed and they began to threaten me. I said we couldn’t take off with so little fuel, and they said: ‘Then get fuel quickly.’” His voice breaking, Buy added: “They led me to believe my family was in danger.” Read moreHe said he was in “such a state” but managed to put fuel in the helicopter and was ordered to calmly let the control tower know they were taking off in a southeasterly direction “Then [the gunmen] told me to land in a field on the pretext of wanting to urinate “They made me get out of the helicopter and aimed their guns at me I was hit a couple of times with the butts and was told they had decided to take a friend from Réau prison and it was important for me to do my job well otherwise my family would be at risk and there was someone outside my home “I wasn’t resisting; I didn’t have any choice with two Colts held to my head.” Buy said he was then ordered to take off again but had no flight plan or any idea of which direction to go ShowThere have been 15 prison escapes by helicopter in France in the past 37 years Heavily armed gangsters used machineguns and anti-tank missiles to blast their way into the Fresnes high-security jail outside Paris and free a notorious gangster The French authorities said they were being confronted with 'weapons of war' and had to rethink prison security Payet used a helicopter three times for prison escapes he escaped jail by helicopter and two years later helped inmates from the same prison escape using the same method Payet made a second daring escape from Grasse prison in the south of France with the help of four accomplices and a hijacked helicopter and hostage pilot At the time Payet was being moved to a new prison every three months in an attempt to foil his escape plans facing a long sentence for attempted murder and armed robbery took helicopter flying lessons in order to whisk him away from prison Vaujour reportedly painted nectarines to look like grenades to force his way on to the prison roof Gangsters posing as businessmen rented a helicopter his wife and children hostage and forced him to pick up two prisoners from the high-security Fleury-Mérogis prison outside Paris Thank you for your feedback.“Then they told me to land again They ordered me to cut off the engine and put my head down so I couldn’t see the commandoes arriving I could hear bags and people being loaded into the back but I had to guess what was happening from the noise behind the cockpit I was still being held with a Colt against my head.” Buy said his nightmare truly began after the Alouette II “At this point the men became really angry Suddenly I was being hit harder and harder with the gun butts but each time the red light came on and it wouldn’t start “I suggested we get out and try to solve the problem from the electro-mechanical box on the outside It was then I saw these men completely hooded in outfits like the Raid or GIGN [French rapid intervention forces] in the helicopter.” wielding Kalashnikov rifles and reportedly wearing police armbands began to lose patience with him as he repeatedly tried to start the aircraft without success “Maybe they thought I was faking a breakdown but I felt completely helpless in front of that engine that I had tried to restart five I took a blow to the head and I fell to the ground unconscious for several moments They picked me up … I tried another connection … finally the engine started and we took off in a hurry.” The gunmen ordered Buy to fly low over fields “clearly to avoid radar” while they looked for the prison “I asked them: ‘What do I do now?’ They made me pass directly over the prison I was too busy concentrating on what was a tricky manoeuvre to be worried for my safety “I landed in a triangular courtyard on a piece of Tarmac about 1.5 metres wide lined with flowers It was a precise move but that is what I am specialised in leaving a commando with me who ordered me to rise to 1.5 metres and do a half turn in the courtyard “I was then told to hold the helicopter just about the ground and wait It was extremely precise move to hold it at around 3cms for 10 minutes “My worry was that the level of fuel was going down And I didn’t know where they would take me.” While Buy hovered in the prison’s main courtyard the only one not protected by anti-aircraft netting the gunmen cut through a prison door using an angle grinder and burst into the visiting room where Faïd was talking to his brother I didn’t know who was on board; he [Faïd] was pretty quiet They told me to fly towards Roissy [Charles de Gaulle] airport but not the airport itself.“Then they ordered me to land in an alley near a Total petrol station next to a fast road … Everyone got out I heard them talking about petrol and bleach and I knew they were going to try to set the Alouette on fire.” The helicopter was found partially burned near Gonesse Buy was taken to hospital where he was treated for shock It is the second time in five years that Faïd has broken out of jail The French authorities believe the gang may have flown drones over the prison in recent months to become familiar with its layout in preparation for the raid 20245 min de lectureNoté NaN étoiles sur 5.Dear readers today I'm

whole body feeling the country from the moment I set foot on the ground An inexplicable feeling occurred during the night: I felt my spirit leave my body to go and meet my maternal grandmother The vision goes as far as her message to guide me on the perilous journey of my quest for my origins He immediately senses what happened during my trance state and tells me I've met my grandmother I met a woman monk by chance on my way to Siem Reap whose first exchange with me was to share a meal in her house a meal that turned into an unexpected two-week stay during which a number of astounding revelations were made this monk turns out to know my adoptive father whom she considers her savior during the Khmer Rouge era Every second spent in the country reminded me of the necessity and obviousness of being there necessary after all these years of separation and I take advantage of the opportunity to tell her about my stay and my extraordinary encounters you were admitted to the
