China West Air violent turbulence incident involves a flight encountered in flight bad weather, resulting in violent turbulence. Incident investigation found that the incident when the local weather conditions are bad, good aircraft performance, the pilot took response measures. The airline and the CAA have launched an investigation and are receiving expert analysis and passenger feedback to improve flight safety.

I. Background Introduction

One gray afternoon in June 2019, a China West Airlines flight from Beijing to Chengdu experienced unprecedented turbulence.

The plane, nUmbered 3U 8756, was flying at high altitUde and passengers and crew on the flight felt a strong swaying.

The incident shocked the entire aviation community, followed by widespread concern and investigation.

Analysis of flight weather conditions

Careful consideration of meteorological conditions, wind speed, temperature and humidity one by one analysis, flight impact insight.

On the day of the incident, the wind direction is changeable, the wind speed is fast and slow, the temperature fluctuation is obvious, the humidity is moderate.

Comprehensive consideration, meteorological factors pose a certain challenge to flight safety, pilots need to be careful to deal with.

Wind speed tests aircraft control, and temperature and humidity affect aircraft performance and visibility.

Analyze meteorological data to ensure flight safety and provide strong support for pilots.

Model B 737-800, has Been in service for five years, the cumulative flight hours of more than 15,000 hours.

The last major overhaul was two years ago, with a thorough inspection and replacement of some parts.

Maintenance records show that the aircraft maintenance in good condition, no major failure records.

All parts are in accordance with the manufacturer's standards, regular replacement and maintenance.

Pilot Operation and Countermeasures

When encountering turbulence, the pilot quickly judges the situation and adjusts the flight attitude to ensure the stability of the aircraft.

Depending on the degree of turbulence, take different responses, such as adjusting the throttle, pulling the lever, or using autopilot.

When necessary, the pilot will take obstacle avoidance action, adjust the flight altitude, avoid strong wind areas.

During the flight, the pilot continuously monitors the status of the aircraft to ensure safety.

After the flight, the pilot carries on to the turbulence event, analyzes the reason, enhances the response ability.

Findings of airlines and CAA survey

The airline launched a full investigation into the turbulence, including collecting passenger feedback, analyzing flight data and checking the condition of the aircraft.

The investigation found that the turbulence was mainly due to strong winds and turbulence, and that the aircraft experienced strong wind shear during flight.

The Civil Aviation Authority reviewed the investigation report submitted by the airline and concluded that the turbulence was caused by force majeure. The airline has taken corresponding measures to ensure the safety of passengers.

VI. Expert Analysis and Recommendations

Aviation experts in-depth analysis of the cause of the incident, stressed the importance of pilot operating norms.

Experts pointed out that to improve the quality of aircraft maintenance, strict implementation of safety inspection procedures is the key.

It is also very important to strengthen the pilot's emergency response ability and improve the emergency plan.

Feedback from passengers and their families

Passengers have said in the turbulence felt unprecedented discomfort, and some even appeared vomiting and dizziness symptoms.

Families are unhappy with the handling of the incident and believe the airline should provide more thoughtful care and solutions.

Many travelers shared their experiences on social media, calling on authorities to tighten aviation safety regulations.

Some passengers say they are confident about air travel despite the fear of turbulence.

Some family members told the airline that they hope to get better communication and help in the future when they encounter similar problems.

In JUne 2019, a China West Airlines flight from Beijing to ChengdU (3U 8756) encoUntered severe tUrbUlence dUring flight. The plane was flying at high altitUde at the time and passengers and crew felt a strong swaying, an event that shocked the aviation commUnity, And caUsed widespread concern and investigation, the tUrbUlence is dUe to strong winds and tUrbUlence instability, the aircraft encoUntered strong wind shear dUring flight.On the day of the incident, the wind direction was changeable, the wind speed was fast and slow, the temperature fluctuated obviously, the humidity was moderate, and the meteorological factors posed a challenge to flight safety. Pilots need to be careful, wind speed on the aircraft control test, temperature and humidity affect aircraft performance and visibility, analysis of meteorological data, Ensure flight safety and provide strong support for pilots.When encountering turbulence, the pilot quickly judges the situation, adjusts the flight attitude, ensures the stability of the aircraft, and takes different measures according to the degree of turbulence. If adjusting the throttle, lever or using autopilot, the pilot will take obstacle avoidance action, adjust the flight altitude, avoid strong wind areas, during the flight, The pilot continuously monitors the status of the aircraft to ensure safety. After the flight, the pilot carries on the turbulence events, analyzes the causes and improves the response ability.The airline launched a full investigation into the turbulence, including collecting passenger feedback, analyzing flight data and checking the condition of the aircraft.
