Bengaluru: The Mayday call was very much discussed during the Ahmedabad aircraft accident. This call is made by the pilot when the aircraft has a danger and the position is out of control. The Ahmedabad aircraft accident has not even been spent even 10 days and now a Fuel Mayday call has been made by the pilot from an Indigo flight.
What is the whole matter?
According to sources, IndiGo flight 6E 6764 going from Guwahati to Chennai on Thursday had to turn towards Bengaluru after the pilot issued a ‘Fuel Medade’ call due to insufficient fuel. The aircraft was prevented from landing on time due to congestion at Chennai Airport. The aircraft were aboard the aircraft during the road change in the Emergency. In such a situation, the flight was safely launched in Bangalore at 8:15 pm. That is, the flight that was going to Chennai had to land in Bengaluru.
What is Fuel Mayday Call?
When the aircraft is deficient in fuel and the aircraft is threatened, then Fuel Mayday calls are made by the aircraft pilot. This call is part of the international aviation communication protocol. This means that the situation is serious and something will have to be done immediately.
The word Mayday is derived from the French word “M’Aider” (help). When the fuel of the aircraft goes below the minimum fuel level, and the pilot feels that the pilot uses this call if the landing may be delayed or the aircraft may fall victim to the accident. This call is used in aviation and maritime fields.
The purpose of the Fuel Mayday call is to protect the aircraft and those sitting in the aircraft in any way. If the pilot has made a Mayday call, it means that the aircraft has to allow landing immediately. This reduces the risk of accident. Under the international rules, if a medium call has been received from an aircraft, then it has to be given a top priority and arranging for his landing. Please tell that even during the Ahmedabad aircraft accident, the pilot made a Mayday call several times.
