747 Electronics Fail, Pilot Flies Blind Across the Pacific Piggy-Backing to Another Plane

agree to the Sydney Morning Herald , the 284 passengers on board Quantas Flight 12 - a Boeing 747 - 400 fly from Los Angeles to Sydney - couldn’t conceive their eye when they looked through their window to see another Boeing from Air New Zealand take flight just a few thousand feet from their aircraft . The explanation , as the air force officer announced , was simple : He was “ fly blind ” after their aircraft ’s weather radar broke three hours after take off . Fortunately , as Qantas explained , the Air New Zealand flight was able to relay the data their 747 needed all the mode to the other side of the Pacific :

The Air New Zealand escape was a unretentive space ahead and it provided the Qantas aircraft with information from its own radio detection and ranging system throughout the journey . It travel on the best weather condition path and the Qantas flight was able-bodied to come after behind . The aircraft was vertically separated according to control procedure at all times – there was no danger to passengers .

The Sydney Morning Herald , however , disagree : “ The Herald translate that the two aircraft were fork by only a few thousand metres as weather update were place across to the Qantas plane , and that Qantas passengers could see the other special K through their windows . ” recognize all the problems that Qantas have had lately andtheir fuzzy excuses , it wo n’t surprise me .
