Hi there, just wondering why there is no transcript available for this episode (301) and episode 298?
Many thanks
I hope this doesn’t come across as “speculation” in the negative connotation. My aviation brain has been racking around the reported facts about Jeju Air 2216 and trying to make sense of it all. What if… the probable bird strike did happen and it caused the right engine’s compressor to stall. Pilots initiate the go around. During the go around, they bring the gear and flaps up prior to the runway and prior to the video from the hotel. OK the engine is still popping and malfunctioning. Maybe at this point the pilots accidently shut fuel off to the functioning engine? (Not unheard of by any means especially under stress). Now with no engine power the pilots are forced to basically complete “the impossible turn” back to the runway, landing long and with a LOT of speed.
That’s what I’m thinking anyways. My story might make sense, but I know there’s many other ways this could have come to the same conclusion. I’m looking forward to seeing the data and the mystery getting solved.
