LIEGE- <\/strong>On June 18, 2023, the Belgian-based Cargo carrier Challenge Airlines (5C), operating Boeing<\/a> 747 from Tel Aviv (TLV), Israel, to Liege (LGG), Belgium, declared an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline regularly operates the flight to and from its base in Liege. However, the carrier has yet to reveal the reason for the emergency declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge Airlines Boeing 747 Emergency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Flight Radar 24, Challenge Airlines (X7) flight 5C913 took off from Tel Aviv (TLV) at 7:53 AM UTC. It declared an emergency after being airborne for almost three hours and 30 mins and covering almost 80 percent of the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane is nearby Munich when it found some problems related to the aircraft. Subsequently, the 5C crew contacted ATC, and it might be a smaller problem, so it decided to land at LGG, the ultimate destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5C flight crew continued the path at 25,000 feet until descending to make an emergency landing at LGG. The exact reason for this emergency is not known. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it could be a technical problem. Luckily, the 747, the queen of skies, has four high bypass engines capable of long ETOPS flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft involved in the incident is Boeing 747-400F, registered as 4X-ICA<\/strong>. Further, it is a 16.3-year-old plane, and it is with 5C since Dec 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier on June 12, the Challenge Airlines’ same Boeing 747-400F flight from Tel Aviv to New York (JFK) is diverted to LGG. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates Missed Landing at Delhi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Flight Radar 24, Emirates flight UAE514<\/strong> takes off from Dubai at 11:40 AM UTC. After being airborne for almost two hours and 40 mins and covering a distance of 2,187 Km was about to land at DEL at 2:50 PM UTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s easier said than done; the Emirates flight faced strong gusty wings around the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot made the first landing attempt at DEL at 2:25 PM at 2000 ft. But he did the low past over the airport. Subsequently, at 2:38 PM UTC, the pilot tried a second time to land; this time, it came down under 2000 ft, but again did the go around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, after evaluating the situation and with its remarkable training and skillset, the EK Flight crew landed on the third attempt at 2:54 PM UTC. The situation lasted for almost 30 mins, and the passengers onboard seemed worried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The go-around is common in such situations, but it takes a lot of skills to go around with this widebody. Further, they need to evaluate the situation of overrun or missing the runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must appreciate the Emirates Flight deck crew for this safe landing. However, some aviation critics will suggest landing at an alternate airport in such situations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
