  1. Flugzeug in Indonesien mit mehr als 155 Menschen vermisst...

    Ein Flugzeug der Billigairline Air Asia wird in Indonesien vermisst. Die Maschine war auf dem Weg von Surabaya auf der Insel Java nach Singapur. Ein Vertreter des Verkehrsministerium sagte, das Flugzeug mit der Flugnummer QZ 8501 habe um 7:24 Ortszeit am Morgen den Kontakt zur Flugüberwachung in Jakarta verloren. Die Luftverkehrsbehörde in Singapur erklärte, der Kontakt mit dem Flugzeug sei abgebrochen, als es sich im indonesischen Luftraum rund 350 Kilometer südöstlich von Singapur befand. Die Behörden der Stadt Pangkal Pinang hätten eine Suchaktion eingeleitet. Singapurs Marine und Luftwaffe hätten ihre Hilfe angeboten. Die Suche konzentriert sich auf das Meeresgebiet zwischen der Stadt Tanjung Pandan auf der Insel Belitung und der Insel Kalimantan.


    Der Airbus 320-200 hat 155 Passagiere und eine sechsköpfige Crew an Bord. Der Pilot habe 6100 Flugstunden hinter sich gehabt. Die Maschine sei am 16. November noch gewartet worden. Aus dem Ministerium hieß es, die Maschine hätte eine ungewöhnliche Route fliegen wollen, bevor sie verschwand. Sie habe auf 38.000 Fuß steigen wollen, um Wolken zu vermeiden. Um 8.30 Uhr Ortszeit sollte sie in Singapur landen. Dort wird sie gegenwärtig als "verspätet" ausgewiesen. Unter den Passagieren sind laut Angaben des indonesischen Fernsehens 149 Indonesier, drei Koreaner, ein Singapurer, ein Brite und ein Malaysier. ..................http://www.welt.de/politik/article135788128/Flugzeug-mit-mehr-als-155-Passagieren-an-Bord-vermisst.html

    Indonesian national search and rescue radars haven’t detected signals from the emergency location transmitter, says Sutrisno, the head of Basarnas, the national agency in Jakarta, as cited by Detik.com. The transmitter becomes operational once a plane is struck from outside or falls into the water.

  13. AirAsia QZ8501: Indonesia plane search resumes ...

    The search continues for AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501, a day after it went missing with 162 people on board.

    "Based on our coordinate estimation, initial estimation is [the plane is] in the water," said Bambang Soelistyo, head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, speaking in Jakarta.

    However, no evidence has so far been found of the plane's whereabouts.

    Officials in Surabaya, from where the plane took off, said search teams were only just reaching the area.

    The Airbus A320-200 disappeared over the Java Sea early on Sunday on a flight to Singapore.

    The pilots had requested a course change due to bad weather but did not send any distress call before the plane disappeared from radar screens...............http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30620647

  14. AirAsia QZ8501: Plane tail lifted from seabed ...

    The Indonesian navy has retrieved from the seabed the tail of the AirAsia plane that crashed two weeks ago.

    Divers used an inflatable device to pull the tail to the sea's surface.

    They are also searching for the plane's "black box" flight recorders, which officials believe have been separated from the tail section.

    QZ8501 disappeared from radar in bad weather on 28 December with 162 people on board. It was flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore.

    Forty-eight bodies have been retrieved so far. Search teams believe most of the remains may still be inside the fuselage of the plane, which has yet to be found.

    On Friday, pings were detected in the Java Sea near where the tail was found. Officials said they could have come from the plane's "black box" flight recorders.

  15. AirAsia : l'Airbus serait "monté trop vite" et aurait "décroché"...

    Les autorités indonésiennes continuent de décortiquer le contenu des boîtes noires du vol AirAsia qui s'est abîmé en mer de Java le 28 décembre dernier et de comprendre ce qui a pu se passer. Après avoir écarté l'hypothèse d'une action terroriste , elles semblent désormais envisager soit la piste de l'erreur humaine de pilotage, soit celle de la défaillance technique de l'avion.

    Deux pistes qui sont compatibles avec les dernières indications qui ont été récoltées à partir des enregistreurs de vol, mais aussi des enregistrements effectués par les radars qui couvraient la zone.
    L'Airbus serait monté à une vitesse de 2.000 mètres par minute

    "Dans les dernières minutes, l'avion est monté à une vitesse supérieure à la normale", a déclaré ce mardi le ministre des Transports, Ignasius Jonan, en citant des données radar. "Il a soudain franchi la vitesse limite à laquelle il pouvait monter. Ensuite il a décroché", a ajouté le ministre, laissant entendre que les réacteurs de l'Airbus avaient alors calé............... http://www.lesechos.fr/industrie-services/tourisme-transport/0204094127844-airasia-lairbus-serait-monte-trop-vite-et-aurait-decroche-1085020.php?RYkY8Kg4wAU8ifTv.99#xtor=RSS37
