The CityLink pilot is sick while on duty, letting the passenger know if the passenger might be an option. The replacement pilot cannot be replaced by anyone.
A CityLink Q-307 aircraft for the Surabaya-Makassar route made an emergency landing at Juanda Airport, Surabaya. CityLink reported that pilot boy Avalia was ill in the line of duty and decided to return to Juanda airport. All passengers and cabin crew are safe.
In the middle of the flight, the cabin crew looked for a doctor among the passengers. After some time the cabin crew came back to the passengers and looked for the pilot who was not on duty.
In Hollywood movies, pilot changes are often performed by unlicensed cabin crew or passengers. But this cannot be done in the real world.
“It is impossible for flight attendants to replace pilots, because their job is to serve on aircraft. Unless they have a license to fly, this will need to be rechecked,” said Agus Pambagio, observer and researcher on public policy. ” detiktravel,
Therefore, the cabin crew looked for the pilot among the passengers on the CityLink flight. Later, Agus said, the pilot should also be asked whether he has been licensed according to the type of aircraft he is flying. For example, if an undesirable incident occurs on an Airbus 320, a replacement pilot with the same aircraft license will be given priority.
“If there is a pilot, but the license is to fly a Boeing 737 commercial aircraft, it cannot be changed immediately. You must first notify the tower officer via radio,” he said.
If the tower officer permits, the person who is inside can replace the pilot. disability or experience an inability to operate the aircraft.
The incident also estimated the airworthiness of the pilot. However, Agus denied this.
“There is a requirement, if the pilot does not fly for less than 3 months, the pilot must fly with the status of co-pilot,” he said.
Meanwhile, pilots who have not flown for more than 3 months will have to test again. As per protocol, pilots have to undergo a test every 6 months.
“So it has nothing to do with it as he (Captain Boy Awalia) has been examined before leaving. Death can happen anytime and anywhere,” he said.
