United Airlines plane departing Maui plunged to within 800 feet of the Ocean, flight data shows
A United Airlines flight took a frightful dive, plummeting to merely 800 feet above the Pacific Ocean shortly after taking off from Maui late last year, flight data shows. The drop unfolded just 71 seconds after United Airlines Flight UA 1722 took off from Kahului Airport in Maui bound for San Francisco on Dec. 18, 2022 according to data from Flight Radar, a flight tracking website. A safety report was filed and the pilots are receiving additional training. (www.nbcnews.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Engines need to run to get them ready to take off or you will have no thrust.
When will we know what exactly happened?
Decision making, the take offs and landings are every pilot’s priority.there are meant to keep the crew and passengers safe.
“ you never know what you will experience or encounter while flying an airplane “
A 777-200 will not suddenly drop from the sky . Things happen, but the fact is the aircraft landed safely at SFO.
One cannot totally condemn , discourage or discredit the pilots. “ we all learn from our mistakes” perhaps it’s a good lesson to learn and to avoid an incident of what happened in the near future.

I hope this is not an example of Woke trainees selection
I believe they put it on Autopilot shortly after takeoff, which I think caused the problem. I believe the pilot should fly hands-on until they get to cruise altitude. It comes back to the number one job that they have, and that is to...FLY THE AIRPLANE.
At 2200 ft, I doubt the incident had anything to do with flaps. My money is on procedural error.
