Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[Liquidmetal]

Though it should never happen but machines and humans are fallible & though relatively expensive - we can replace the JF-17 B since we make them ourselves. The pilots are the true assets. Thank God they are alive.

You have never seen a bird strike impact on a cockpit have you?

On the contrary been in one such incident. Landed safely with the wind shield shattered as this occurred incidentally on finals too.

Bird strikes are known to have brought down multi engine jets, a single engine aircraft has little to no chance.
Sometimes the impact can be so severe that the aircraft falls like a stone from the air....also on finals with low altitude, no chance of a recovery.

True still there is always a chance of recovery though probability is low and this probability is dependent on the perception of the pilot and his abilities to judge. Non the less Pilots are safe they can fly an other day.

You can't glide indefinitely in any aircraft. Combat jets on the other hand make very bad gliders, they require higher speeds and in turn thrust to generate the required lift. On finals, the aircraft is already close to its stall speed. When it then loses power from a bird strike, the deployed gear and flaps don't allow it much time before it crosses the stall threshold and drops straight down.

They all are designed to glide and have a specific glide angle. Once on Finals there are no more turns required. With Flaps and Landing gear extended Drag increases still glide can be maintained.

The landing speed is higher than glide speed this is done to compensate from the lag of time for engines to spool up (From Idle to Maximum Thrust),

What happened is best known to the Pilots flying and inquiry report would clarify and highlight both the problems and its solutions so that a repeat may never happen again.

PAF fighter trainer aircraft crashes near Attock

 

[araz]

Yeah f22 has bad record..so many have crashed
So is the f16
A crash of mirage jf17 and f7 isnt a crash if the pilots surivive since those are eaisly replaceable or disposable

Every crash gets investigated. Here before the investigations there is talk of bird strike! We have also had boar strikes losing an F16 to wild boars. Let us wait till more information comes out. The important thing is the pilots ejected and are safe. The metal can be reacquired.

I think the boar strike f 16 was sent to China and that resulted in jf 17

It was fully loaded aircraft proceeding for CAP mission. I was watching it burning and all its munition exploding around it. A very sad scene. In the end only rubbles were left.

I am loathe to give them a "Youtube view" for such rubbish ..

Best not to ask the question if you're going to reject the answer without making any sense.

any idea of tail number?

There has been no tweet from Martin-Baker this time around?

i think chinese seats for Bravo?

i think chinese seats for Bravo?

So not all JF-17s have Martin-Bakers?

There has been no tweet from Martin-Baker this time?

Maybe we approached them and told them to not publicise such events?
