A smell in the cockpit of an AirTran flight .........

AirTran evacuates plane in Atlanta

Saturday, March 6, 2004

Passengers made an emergency evacuation from an AirTran Airways jet Friday after the pilots noticed a generator malfunction shortly after takeoff from Atlanta and returned to the airport.

The captain ordered the evacuation after noticing an electrical smell in the cabin, AirTran spokesman Tad Hutcheson said.

One passenger was injured when she scraped her knee while using the Boeing 717's emergency slide during the evacuation on the runway, said Hutcheson.

The jet had 118 passengers and five crew members on board.

Hutcheson said Flight 852 to Minneapolis, scheduled to depart at 2:05 p.m., was delayed more than an hour after the pilots saw a warning light for a malfunctioning thrust reverser as they taxied to the runway. They returned to the terminal.

After the plane was checked out by mechanics, the flight took off at 3:22 p.m., but the pilots saw another warning light indicating a malfunctioning generator, and returned to Hartsfield-Jackson International and landed. All but the passenger injured in the evacuation continued their trip on another AirTran jet, Hutcheson said.

He said the plane involved is 18 months old. He said the cause of the apparent malfunctions has not been determined.

And the aircraft was evacuated.

Actually, I think Prof Joe V. was created from a different sort of an evacuation . . . the explosive evacuation of fellow member T-Bags' bowels.
 
I love PJV’s antics. Its so wonderful to see a person who is not afraid to show the world his ignorant A$$.
 
Shouldn't Prof Joe Vee be a subject on Dr Phil's work shop on Anger Managment?
 
Just brought chief pilot form Miami, they ferried that airplane for maintenance. He said that PCDU failed on it. Capt. smelled electrical smoke and evacuated. No one is at fault.
And since we're on a subject, Delta's 88 dragged gear doors down the 27R today, and had to be towed in. I guess the moon is full.
