Quiz: Does the earthquake affect the plane?

The answer is a surprise for you. When on an airplane, your earthquake experience will be dangerous in another way.

generated by the release of the unexpected energy of the Earth's crust, and it affects everything on the ground.

But with an airplane, does the earthquake affect?The answer is no, if you just want to talk about the force effect.

Only thing, the impact of earthquakes is not only that. Spend some time reading Ron Wagne's experience story, pilot at Andrews Air Force Base (USA) to find an extremely interesting answer.

Earthquakes do not affect aircraft if you only want to talk about the impact on force.

On a gloomy cloudy night, Ron Wagne drove a VIP-type jet, flew over 3,000 feet from the Andrews base to Blytheville Air Base, Arkansas, to catch a member of Congress.

The two of them talked together passionately. And because it was the night, the weather was gloomy, so even though their front was still the sky, it was all black.

"During that gloomy flight, I saw small light trails flashed quite far away. It was the light of the lights along the runway. Immediately, I signaled to be flying down the beach. " Wagne recounted.

Then all of a sudden . all the light disappeared

All the light on the runway lost its shape. Ron Wagne noticed that, and understood that he could not proceed with the flight. Therefore, he signaled and continued to control the aircraft around the sky.

An earthquake can still make a flight in danger.

"The air traffic controller answered, " Wagne said.

Later, Ron Wagne checked the position of the aircraft with air positioning tools. They were dumbfounded to discover a flashing red signal on the navigation unit. This means that the ground-based signal has been lost, and their aircraft no longer appear on the radar system.

"We call back. There is still no response."

After calling unsuccessfully, Ron noticed that their relay system also lost signal. Too bad luck!

What is going on?

Under such a situation, Ron controlled the aircraft to lift high and switch to the default flight frequency. And continuing, they contacted the underground unit.

Ron said: "As soon as I was about to change the frequency, someone suddenly called us. A large earthquake happened. The earthquake made the entire air traffic signal system go away. technical department takes a few minutes to back up flight data ".

Earthquake occurred, the air traffic station lost control.(illustration).

They asked Ron Wagne to fly the plane into the original flight. However, because the sky is quite dark, this is very difficult.

Not stopped, the air traffic department announced that they had not recovered the radar signal. Ron must continue to control the plane - carefully - and wait.

Finally, the lighting of the runway lights up again. The notification control unit, Ron Wange, can land on the runway safely.

That said, although it does not directly affect flight activity, an earthquake can still cause a flight to be in critical condition - especially with aircraft preparing to land.

At that time, the pilot must be very calm to handle. They have to find ways to extend the flight, as well as find a reasonable and safe route, if they do not want to pay with the lives of all passengers.
