Why?Indonesia. That's more relevant than the 737-500 involved here.
No this is NG, the other was maxSo is it not the 737 that there have been several other incidences with?
Remind me never to fly with a rando regional airline. Or near a war zone, or near Iran.
Drowning is another one of my nightmares but yeah a plane crash is just horror.I'm scared of a lot of things. But going down in a plane crash is my worst nightmare.
They have huge corruption and lack of standards, and a resulting horrible safety record. Arguably the worst in the world.Why?
Of course there are blind spots, you know the earth is round and radar requires straight line of sight (unless OTH but that has completely different uses ), and you cant really make a radar stations every 100 square miles.Horrible
I'm still confused how with so much radar and technology this can happen
Are there known blind spots that cause this?
Thanks for the explanation, I'll have a read. Plan on doing a fair bit of SE Asia travel one day including Indonesia.They have huge corruption and lack of standards, and a resulting horrible safety record. Arguably the worst in the world.
Why do you say that. The 737Max is not yet back flying.Not this again. I thought they had fixed the drop in altitude problem.
Rest assured. Flying is orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transport.I'm scared of a lot of things. But going down in a plane crash is my worst nightmare.
I think everyone knows that. It’s more that if it did happen it would be one of the most terrifying ways to die.Rest assured. Flying is orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transport.
Sorry for being over simplistic. And yes, I do agree with you about that.I think everyone knows that. It’s more that if it did happen it would be one of the most terrifying ways to die.
They probably lost contact because it was in the sea, naught to do with radar.Horrible

Fair enough. I missed that this wasn't the Max that had problems before.Why do you say that. The 737Max is not yet back flying.
Arguably the most reliable aircraft (and engine combination) ever built.From the article, this isn't the problemetic MAX. AFAIK the 737 is a fairly reliable aircaft. Hope the data is wrong but losing 10,000 feet in a minute sounds pretty bad.
Definitely the worst in the world.They have huge corruption and lack of standards, and a resulting horrible safety record. Arguably the worst in the world.
I mean, it's literally said in the article that this isn't the MAX. Or do other 737 model have the same problem?Not this again. I thought they had fixed the drop in altitude problem.
Hasn’t Garuda Indonesia been one of the top 10 airlines in the world for the last few years?They have huge corruption and lack of standards, and a resulting horrible safety record. Arguably the worst in the world.
What happens is that international airlines like Garuda etc get audited by Aviation Agencies like European Aviation Safety Agency or the FAA because otherwise they won't be able to operate into EU or USA. The smaller airlines who don't fly don't get audited. So Garuda has to maintain the very high standards while the smaller ones may get away with it.Hasn’t Garuda Indonesia been one of the top 10 airlines in the world for the last few years?
No they don't as there is no issues with the design and certification of the earlier models.I mean, it's literally said in the article that this isn't the MAX. Or do other 737 model have the same problem?
Ah thanks, makes sense. Only been with them and Lion Air after having a quick look, always impeccable flights.What happens is that international airlines like Garuda etc get audited by Aviation Agencies like European Aviation Safety Agency or the FAA because otherwise they won't be able to operate into EU or USA.

But it doesn't mean they are guilty of anything right now because we don't know what caused the crash. They may have an impeccable record.
The smaller issues are what worries me. Airlines that have larger fleets have to have a bigger number of maintenance crew. It's the smaller ones with smaller maintenance crew and less pay would be the problematic ones. A lot of these would be maintenance issues. Not operational. Unless there is an absolute cockup of everything it's almost impossible to crash these things. At the end it's mostly a pilot error that is the final cause. Even with the Max though it was a design fault the actions of the pilots was what caused it to crash eventually. Yes the pilots thought they were doing the right thing and rightly so.Ah thanks, makes sense. Only been with them and Lion Air after having a quick look, always impeccable flights.
It does seem there are a high number of crashes around that part of the globe.Definitely the worst in the world.
And some of the most volatile weather conditions.
And some extremely old planes flown by the smaller carriers.
Corruption also do play a part. When Thailand got blacklisted by ICAO ( meaning they failed a safety audit), they discovered that some of the very smaller airlines had got their operating licenses under fraudulent means. Staff were there in name only and the actual operations were conducted by a different set of staff. All those were immediately cancelled and the head of the aviation department was removed.It does seem there are a high number of crashes around that part of the globe.
I am a bit of an aircraft geek, so no worries.Fair enough. I missed that this wasn't the Max that had problems before.
