Aero Mongolia's Fokker 100 Emergency Caused by Frozen Valve PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 08 December 2006
Fokker 100 - Aero MongoliaAn airplane ‘Fokker-100’ of ‘Aero Mongolia’ which took-off with passengers from Ulaanbaatar to Khovd could not continue its flight and had to return to Ulaanbaatar in an unplanned landing. Oxygen masks dropped down throughout the passengers’ seating area. After the airplane landed, the Civil Aviation Authority and Department of Security of Flight and Technique conducted an inspection and made a conclusion that because an outgoing valve of the altimeter system was frozen and was not closed, the oxygen masks dropped. Freezing was caused because the airplane was not kept in a warm airplane hanger. The company does not have any warm garages to keep their airplanes in. Company officials said that the airplane is now under normal operation and is ready to perform flights again. (Ardiin Erkh)- supplied by MonInfo
