Afraid not.

Well it's a British Airways aircraft. I'm going to guess it's British Airways Flight 38 from Beijing. A Boeing 777-236ER that landed at London Heathrow with both engines failing to respond to auto-throttle on ILS approach and idled at about 500 feet AGL. The aircraft landed short and hard but everyone survives. True to human nature several passengers carry off their luggage with one even trying to reboard. The accident cause was attributed to ice crystals forming in fuel lines.

You're correct with regards to the airline but what is unusual about the location the plane is currently in, especially as regards this airport?

Aktungbby · 09-02-21, 12:59 PM

well...since it's 'not related to terrorism', it can't be at Bagram airport??!

So does that mean I have the correct flight?

I've no idea what BA flight it is but what I'm after is the exact/specific location of the aircraft and the almost unique (as far as I'm aware) nature regarding this airport.

CLUE: I've flown into this airport but sailed out of it.

Jimbuna · 09-02-21, 01:25 PM

No but if you put your detective hat on you may deduce from previous posts by me on this forum that the airport in question is connected to my former seafaring career.

Aktungbby · 09-02-21, 01:35 PM

Edinburgh airport? due to navigational screwup? Should have been Düsseldorf, Germany!

Jimbuna · 09-02-21, 01:42 PM

Not far enough away.

CLUE: This airport is right next to a harbour.

Markus Witt · 09-02-21, 02:11 PM

Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong?

Buddahaid · 09-02-21, 02:21 PM

This isn't an accident then.

Is it Kai Tak airport next to Victoria Harbor; and what makes it kinda unusual is that the approach could not be flown by aircraft instruments, as a visual sighting on approach is mandatory; when the pilot has sighted the Red & white visual marker atop Checkerboard Hill,

commencing a descending starboard turning approach for final touchdown leg on runway 13. It is the 6th most dangerous airport in the world approachwise.
