Australian and International Pilots Association
The Australian and International Pilots Association has commended the crew on QF141 today after a safe landing in Auckland following a warning of a fire in the cargo hold. "The pilots acted swiftly and professionally by making a mayday call and landing the aircraft safely," said AIPA President Captain Andrew Marshall.
"While these types of incidents are very rare, Qantas pilots are thoroughly trained to manage them when they do occur. "This event is an important reminder of the critical importance of having two well-trained and well-rested pilots on the flight deck at all times. It remains the most essential safety feature in aviation."
