The life of an airline pilot Part II


Recommended Posts

Left Odense on a beautiful morning. At about 8,000 ft engine #1 generator failure!

Diverted to Aarhus, Denmark as they have better repair facilities than Odense. This bird doesn't fly well on 1 engine. Can't lower the gear and flaps too soon.

Touchdown! What a relief. :rockon:

Taxi time!

Almost at the ramp.

Get the passengers off and get the maintenance crew to work.

Maintenance needs a part to be flow in. No spare planes. Guess passengers and crew will spend the night in Aarhus.

Dispatch gets the crew a ride. Funny, that looks like the same van I had in Odense. Must be a big seller in Denmark.

Leaving the airport to nice hotel I'm told.

Not so fast. The driver says he needs to stop for gas.

Which way is that hotel? The driver is asking me? I don't read Danish. :stars:

This is the hotel? I think the driver got lost and dropped me in the wrong place. Oh well, as long as there's a bed and a shower I'm set. Get some food, relax and hopefully the bird will be repaired by morning.
