Nordstar Compression Alert over Open Door

A Nordstar Airlines emergency landing at Krasnoyarsk occurred after a cabin decompression alarm indicated problems aboard the Krasnoyarsk to Norilsk flight.

Pilots returned the Boeing 737 to Krasnoyarsk and made a safe landing at 6:26. An inspection revealed that a door had not been properly closed. The open door was unable to maintain cabin compression adequately, although the door itself was in working order.

No one was injured. Nordstar Airlines is now reviewing its procedures and local officials are opening an inquiry.

    What: American Airlines Boeing 767-200 from New York to Los Angeles
    Where: Albuquerque
    When: August 4, 2010
    Who: 168 passengers and 11 crew (or 158 passengers and 11 crew)
    Why: The story behind this one is two-fold. One source says the plane diverted to Albuquerque because of smoke in the cockpit. No smoke, no cause of smoke, no evidence thereof was found.

    Another source says an unruly passenger was behind the diversion. This person was detained by the FBI on landing, after which the plane was inspected for explosives. During the search, passengers hung around the tarmac for three hours.

    This man is being questioned about the odor like cigarettes that was discovered in the bathroom, along with some used matches. Another report says he lit matches in the cabin and then hid in the bathroom.

    The plane left Albuquerque for LA around midnight.

The conference takes place Sept. 13-15 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, National Harbor, Md.

    Some of the solutions that Boeing will highlight at its exhibits and in its media engagements are the NewGen Tanker; the P-8 Aerial Ground Sensor aircraft; the C-17 Globemaster III airlifter; the Advanced F-15E fighter; the Phantom Eye and Phantom Ray unmanned airborne systems; the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program and Air Force support and logistics services; cybersecurity; and military space programs such as GPS and Wideband Global SATCOM.

    Boeing’s exhibits at this year’s AFA conference will feature more interactivity for customers and other conference attendees.

    “The best way to showcase the capabilities of Boeing’s innovative products and services is to offer hands-on, interactive experiences,” Catton said. “In addition to the NewGen Tanker and 737 Family of Systems technology demonstration trailers and their advanced flight simulators, we’ll offer a sneak preview of the upcoming 3-D IMAX film ‘Rescue.’ This Boeing-sponsored film includes compelling C-17 and CH-47 footage from humanitarian relief operations around the world.”
