Questions that come in: Are pilots checked the same way in the filters? YES (the only difference is that we can carry liquids of more than 100 ml) If a pilot becomes unconscious in the cockpit, can the other one fly the plane? Yes, the plane can be flown by one person only and we have sessions where we train that. Could a passenger land a commercial plane if they are given instructions on how to fly it from the control tower? The control tower has no idea how to fly the planes and would not be able to instruct them. (translated)

The Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv suffered a nose dive of 5,000 meters in less than two minutes due to a fight in the cockpit that resulted in a co-pilot stabbing the pilot, which led to the intervention of passengers to regain control of the plane before landing in Saudi Arabia. (translated)

I am currently taking a course on unlawful interference in aviation, and we wake up to this shocking news: 174 passengers were traveling today on a B737-8MAX. The two pilots in the cockpit argued, one pulled out a knife and attacked the other with the intention of harming the pilot and crashing the plane 😱 In the plane, the transponder code was first transmitted from the cockpit as 7700 (emergency) and later 7500 (unlawful interference), which is not common at all! Even the Israeli Air Force sent planes in response to the emergency call. Fortunately, the hijacker pilot's objective was not achieved, and he was subdued, and the passengers and other company pilots traveling on the flight regained control 😱 what madness! The two original pilots ended up seriously injured in the hospital! Omg The plane descended in 30 seconds to 14,000 feet! Damaging the structure as seen in the photo! (translated)

I have no words to describe this video. A passenger manages to record one of the dramatic moments experienced on board flydubai FZ1073 traveling to Tel Aviv, Israel 🇮🇱. It is believed that the aircraft lost more than 13,000 feet in less than a minute. (translated)

This is how people rushed to fight the pilot who wanted to crash the flydubai plane. He almost succeeded, he stabbed the other pilot and dropped from 34,000 to 14,000 feet in seconds. They barely survived, but the one recording knew nothing would happen to him. (translated)

The Israeli press reports that one of the FlyDubai pilots tried to crash the plane, but was subdued by the other pilot and by Israeli passengers. The plane finally landed at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The context of the incident can be read in the post that I am quoting below (Part 1), and in the image, you can see the abrupt descent during the attempt to crash it. (translated)

“La situación es preocupante. Si las circunstancias en Oriente Próximo no cambian, Europa se enfrenta a un invierno muy complicado por el elevado coste que puede alcanzar el diésel y los combustibles de aviación”. Así están las cosas. https://t.co/9hj3CAtLCs #OrientePróximo #crisisenergética #inviernocomplicado #EU #IL #JO
