Flying Ashtray

First officer Rob Brydon left his home in mho Essex to go to work at Heathrow. He was on the M25 when he comprehend a news bulletin on the radio informing him that verbalize that mount fujto a greater extent had erupted 32km s divulgeh of the Indian island. It was early when Rob arrived at the drome and entered the pilots lounge and prepared for his leak. Rob and his sea lord realised that his route would sequester him over the path of the change erupted from Mount fujmore. They came to the conclusion that the ash would receive by the snip they were near the mountain.As Rob walked into the gate he was worried that his decision would fuck back to bite him, and the captain assured him that in the 30 years of service he had flew in the same situation numerous amounts of time and that it would be fine. Rob and his captain were now on board the canvas and had begun their pre-flight checks and were ready for clearance. As commonplace Rob was gather uping for clearance. Rob was unusu eachy busy and didnt have time for this ands his look of the passengers, scarcely he figured that he would bugger off a look once he was cruising in the origin.Before Rob knew it he was at cruise take and was eating breakfast, as a worry just in case they were in a collision family with the volcanic ash. Soon after Rob had forgotten about the volcanic ash provided what he didnt know was going to make his daytime much harder. As Rob crossed through the ash his whether monitor lizard didnt pick it up because it was dry and could not inspect it because his blinds were down. The passengers saw the ash but informed the pilot but they discussed it and they said it was harmless. But so the planes started to have problems.The fuel indicators started to flash about diminished fuel and low fuel pressure. The auto pilot changed gos then changed back. They looked at their systems to see where they were and discovered they were near India. The plane stopped having proble ms until they noticed their engines were glowing red bitter with some of the volcanic ash. They began to panic but soon they were on air traffic control asking for a clear landing spot, but there were east of the Indian Ocean and with no viable track to land on. The closest one was in Thailand which was hours away from them.They began to start to expect the damage that could be through with(p) to the plane when engine 3 closed(a) down completely and they began to get warnings of low fuel and the filtration system was damaged by the volcanic ash. They then got transmittals and sent out warnings that problems could occur if you followed their flight path. All of a sudden over their radio they got the radio transmission they should have had before take-off. That the ash was dry which would explain why it didnt come up on the radar. They the had engine 2 leave out down and had to patch up to prevent them from stalling in mid air.They also decided that they should take their fli ght path out of the volcanic ash. They tried to change their course but all the ash had damaged the planes com countersinker chips, they decided to ask tower what they should do. All of a sudden engine 3 went out and their navigation system went out so they had to rely on a rough idea of where they were. They were now 16,200ft above ocean level and it couldnt passing water the crews mind of abandonment of the plane in the ocean. Though it had never been done before on this model of aircraft the pilots knew that it was possible.Not long later the fit engine went out and their fears of abandonment became a reality. But they had bigger problems on their mind such as how to control the plane, hen there is no power being generated. They decided to try to start the engines again but nothing happened. They tried to start the engines 3 more times and all of a sudden engine 3 came on and quickly shut down again. At this point they were 10,000ft exactly about sea level and were assessing t heir problems when they came to an agreement to start the engines one more time before they disadvantageously considered abandonment.They tried and waited. They waited more and engine 3 came to life and was immediately put on full power and they decreased their descent rate and started to restart the other engines, but exclusively engine 2 came on and they levelled of their aggrandizement and started to ask ATC where to land but it wasnt easy as there was minacious fog and ice in the area they wanted land in. They had allowance granted and they were allowed to land at a nearby airport. As they started to logical argument up with the airport they had to rely on the towers navigation system until they could see the runway lights.The task that was ahead of them was extremely big as they had only done thus in simulators. 19 miles away from the airport and 3,500 ft above the ground they had the correct configuration and all they take was more power but the ash had clogged the engi ne intakes so that only a certain amount of power could be used at any one time. They started to sink too low and desperately needed power so for a short period the engines power was increased, but then they were overwhelmed and went red-hot. As they approached the runway they could make out the light of other plane coming onto the.They quickly contacted tower but the declined saying they had no report of a plane on the runway but they canvass their navigation system and they were wrong. The captain quickly informed tower that they would be landing whether or not that plane was on the runway. They knew it was going to be a tight landing as they came closer and closer to the runway. The plane was now crossing the threshold. The point of no return and they narrowly lost the tail fin of the plane but they landed and swiftly evacuated.
