Asiantravel Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 They're basically the same airline with the same shit safety record, so who gives a toss which photo they print? but they are no worse than any other Thai airline.

Gonsalviz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If it was an airplane like the one pictured it was most likely a crew error by setting the pressurization controller wrong. I worked the industry for 35 years and never saw a major problem Usually crew error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 These are all pretty new planes. Lion was launch customer for the Boeing 737-900. Thai pilots also fly a lot different (better) than their Indonesian counterparts. So it's all speculation for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thai low cost airlines: The gift that keeps on giving (nightmares). http://avherald.com/h?article=496c7e08 An Orient Thai Airlines Boeing 737-300, registration HS-BRI performing flight OX-616 from Phuket (Thailand) to Nanning (China), completed what appeared to be an uneventful flight.A post flight examination however revealed the left hand nose wheel was missing from the aircraft due to a fractured axle.The missing wheel has not yet been located. http://avherald.com/h?article=496c7e08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) That HS-BRI is more than 23 years old, a youngster in the Orient Thai fleet HS-LTM (the Lion plane) is 2 years old. What is weird, it was already in Pitsanulok (they have an airport there) but returned to Chiang Mai. https://premium.flightradar24.com/data/flights/sl539#95dd377 Edited April 13, 2016 by MadMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked the industry for 35 years and never saw a major problem Usually crew error.Could be a crew error resetting the pressurization panel after a "bleeds- off" takeoff, as would probably be required for performance reasons at these temperatures.Happened before, will happen again.

jabis Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Easy to miss the correct pressurization setting toggle with this particular type of aircraft. Shit begins to get real when nearing the service ceiling, if the pressure relief valves' toggles and/or bleed valves are left to incorrect settings, and by looking at the flight data, it seems so - right after hitting FL36 a rapid descent. IIRC there've been plenty of occasions like this, after running pressurization tests on the ground, when engineer forgets the pressurization toggles' to manual "test" mode. My best guess: Human error - luckily no lives lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
