  • On the 13th of April, 2010, Cathay Pacific Flight 780 set off from Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, Indonesia en route to the Hong Kong International Airport. The take off conditions were standard and they were expected to make a routine landing in just under 5 hours.
    However, a few hours into the flight, it became apparent to the crew members that this was going to be no routine flight.

    The two pilots have really tried for keeping the aircraft steady in the air and also averted air crash. They really deserved to be awarded. The senior pilot has shown his expertise in his profession. We thank God for saving air disaster.

    My late father a 24000 hour pilot always maintained that "for 364 days 23 hours and 59 minutes, airline are overpaid but in that other minute they earn every dollar they receive." this crew took longer but I'm sure that no one on board will ever accept that the pilots are over paid. Training and experience count for everything in aviation.

    Fuel contamination was my first thought given that both engines became compromised. Given that the crew was dealing with an unplanned crisis, they did superb. My only criticism was that ground control continued to advise they finish the flight passing up numerous safe destinations that may have allowed them to maintain more control over the plane instead of flying on for several additional hours with a compromised aircraft when other better options were available allowing the situation to deteriorate until they have a full blown emergency to deal with.

At an airport with a drop into the sea off the runway, it would be good to see that RAS (or whatever it’s called) arrestor system installed.
