Should we stop using planes?, well its good this was only a scare and not a crash, an IRS plane on Sunday had to remove its passengers on the runway in the northern part of the country, Kaduna, after a landing itch.
Yemi Dada, IRS managing director, said the pilots of flight 3390 with 89 passengers on-board received a low hydraulic warning minutes before landing, an hydraulic warning means there is a problem with landing gear, nosewheel steering, brakes, cargo doors, thrust reversers or both primary and secondary flight controls.
“On final approach to Kaduna today on our flight 3390 with 89 passengers, our cockpit crew got a low hydraulic in system 1 warning and decided to take precautionary measures to ask for ground confirmation that all gears were down and locked,” he said.
The passengers had to exit the plane on the runway without any mode of transportation to the main airport then the plane was towed.
