PIA ATR Flight PK-661 Crashes Near Havelian

[ammad]

I remember the time in July 2006, when last Fatal accident (prior to this one) of PIA F-27 AP-BAL was happen. I was employed with PIA and it was happen during working day at around noon time. Curtain of sadness kind of fall on every employee and for some reason this year i was thinking that, as 10 years have been passed so PIA safety rating should bump up here, http://www.airlineratings.com/ratings/1 ... l-airlines. But now this unfortunate incident happen.

May Allah forgive them and give patience to families to bear this loss.

Captain Salehyar Janjua was the son of Late. Captain Iftikhar Janjua who died in Kathmandu Crash flight PK268 on 28th September 1992 !!!

Are you sure that he was his son? I dont think so. Capt Faisal Janjua is the son of late. Capt Iftikhar Janjua.

Regret the loss of lives in this accident. The weather apparently was okay and they had almost completed the flight by Havelian. It seems there was loss of power on the left engine (number1) as the aircraft was banking to the left. That on the F-27 was the critical engine. I am not sure of these high tail aircraft's performance at low airspeed with one engine gone.
Yes this aircraft was involved in an incident: 30/5/2009; ATR 42-500; AP-BHO: was operating PK-688 from Multan to Lahore. During landing at Lahore around 1440, the aircraft skidded off the runway and came to rest on unpaved surface. All 43 passengers and 4 crew members aboard the aircraft remained safe. The landing gear, nose section, landing gear doors and fuselage skin near landing gear sustained damaged in this accident. The aircraft was put out of service but after arrival of spare parts, the aircraft’s repair work was completed in October 2009.

This is the information i have got...
ATSB (Australian Transportation Safety Board) did issue a AD "opposite control column inputs caused a “pitch disconnect” on a Virgin Australia ATR 72-600, resulting in overstress damage to the aircraft’s horizontal stabiliser".
Overnight Transit Inspection didn't reveal anything & Aircraft Flew 13 Additional Sectors before a Bird Strike happened & Inspections happened revealing Structural Damage...

Captain Salehyar Janjua was the son of Late. Captain Iftikhar Janjua who died in Kathmandu Crash flight PK268 on 28th September 1992 !!!

Captain Iftihkhar janjua's son is Faisal Janjua, who was the first officer along with Captain Shayan Haqqee on that 737 with the stabilizer failure that landed safely a few years ago in Muscat (or so if memory serves correctly).

Captain Saleh Janjua resides in Rawalpindi and is my friends neighbor. Hence the information being disseminated is false as per the usual hot air sensationalism sop of media and social media.

According to today's Jang Air Commodore Nadeem Ahmed to head the investigating team.

Captain Saleh was son of Flight engineer Janjua and the FO Ahmed Janjua was son of a captain of 737 who died in 1995 as a result of natural death. So I am sure people here saying that Faisal Janjua is son of Late Iftikhar Janjua is right.
Since we have plenty of pilots having the family name Janjua so confusion was meant to take place.

BTW, exactly three months ago, on September 7, 2016, VIP flight to Chitral with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif onboard was performed by AP-BHO.
