Two pilots fall asleep at 11,000 meters above sea level and miss the landing

Two pilots yes I am to fall asleep deep a 11 thousand meters the altitude is missing the airport runway from Addis Ababa: The possibly tragic lightness, however, was remedied with a nearly half-hour U-turn and a safe landing. This was reported by the BBC website, citing a trade publication, the Aviation Herald.

Air traffic controllers tried to contact the two pilots immediately after the Ethiopian Airlines plane passed the point where it was supposed to begin its descent, but to no avail. It was just an autopilot alarm waking her up.

The episode took place on the day of mid August. The 154-seat Boeing 737 had departed from Khartoum Airport in Sudan and the flight to the capital of neighboring Ethiopia took just two hours. The specialized site indicates that the landing took place 25 minutes after the missed one.

One aviation analyst described the incident as “deeply disturbing”: “Pilot fatigue is nothing new and remains one of the top threats to flight safety internationally,” tweeted Alex Macheras.
