Ever been in some type of Minor Air Crash/Emergancy landing?

[sock]

With Turkish Airlines your plane couldn't have been holding enough fuel for an extra 2h in the air, usually planes can carry their approx flight time + 1 hour

they can hold much more than that. Infact, they probably did fuel at the departure irport for the return leg as well.

I had to emergency land in spain on the way home frm greece i was crapping it the amount of turbulence

[BowTies1]

only ever had some turbulance i quite enjoyed it lol

Not an emergency, but was flying into Sydney, and **** Cheney was flying out on Air Force 2. I think his plane had technical difficulties though, and rather than taxiing off the runway, the fixed it there and then. We had to go into holding pattern for an extra half an hour. I swear everyone on board my flight was cursing as we saw his flight take off as we came into land!

American Vice President would obviously take priority though ! And I've only ever been in some mild turbulence.

I always thought they carried more than 1 hour, I can't remember the exact.. but I was watching air crash investigation the other night, and I saw one about Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 (the one that was hijacked, and crashed into the ocean) the hijackers made them fly onto Australia - well tried to make them, but their fuel ran out... they had more than an hour..


isn't it a fraction of their flight time (which I can't remember) and then +1 hour?

you are Right Soph, they carry some more in case they put in to an en-route hold or at the airport in a stack which not many people understand what talking about but few will

also so they can do a go around
