Flight 7K9268: Co-pilot complained about the plane’s condition

Share:

This is an update on the Russian passenger plane that crashed Saturday on a flight from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to St. Petersburg, Russia.

The wife of the co-pilot of the Russian plane says her husband had complained about the plane’s condition, according to a Russian TV channel.

State-controlled NTV ran an interview Saturday with Natalya Trukhacheva, identified as the wife of co-pilot Sergei Trukachev. She said that a daughter “called him up before he flew out. He complained before the flight that the technical condition of the aircraft left much to be desired.”

An Egyptian official had previously said that before the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers the pilot had radioed and said the aircraft was experiencing technical problems and that he intended to try and land at the nearest airport.

            Allow me to say there’s no ‘excellence’ there. It works up to a point.
            But we can’t expect it (dumb machine) to really know what thoughts people are trying to formulate.
            You do well, anyway. 🙂

            ( that would be: ‘I depend on’ … or … ‘I am depending on’ // we know what you mean)

          4. communication between us can be not failed (hope in my case, i’m playing in chinese room http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room ) or in in the worst case failed, corrupted or vandalized
