Ryan Air Pilots Have Safety Concerns
RyanAir pilots feel they cannot report safety issues. (www.nbcnews.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I use Ryanair since 10 years and for my family it is the most competetive airline here in europe. Sometimes is strange to stand in a row and it is not comfortable but nevertheless i feel safety due to good pilots....
So let me get this straight, the IAA launched an investigation because they landed with min fuel? How did Ryanair violate a reg.? Ryanair doesnt write the laws! How many of you fly with full tanks everywhere you go?
The IAA has a safety reporting program. Of course the union doesn't go to the regulators, its easier to fight safety concerns in the news media.

Speaking of MIN fuel, on a Dash 8-100 I had to completely drain ALL the fuel for a fuel calibration as I was using the DRY Method (much easier and cheaper). I was able to sump a grand total of about 4 gallons (only about 80% full in a 5 gallon bucket). I do not know the fuel consumption required for a go around, but I am glad he did not need one.
No investigation was launched and the truth be known, me and my lead were the only ones who knew as the fuel qty was on MEL.

The boss of Ryanair would probably do well running a nazi concentration camp or a Soviet gulag complex.A total autocrat.Re an earlier post,there has been an incident with this outfit,one that saw the airplane being destroyed at Ciampino airport.Not the fault of the airline,(a multiple bird strike)but a hull loss is a hull loss.
Germany's biggest hero pilot (former East-German airline INTERFLUG and later Germania), who fought a hijacker, was fired for telling such problems to the press ^^
HAVING WATCH THE BBC PROGRAMME LAST NIGHT I DON'T NO WHO TO BELIEVE
BUT SAFETY MUST COME FIRST EVERY TIME, AND NOT PROFIT
