On October 3, Ryanair flight FR3418 flew from Pisa, Italy to Glasgow, Scotland. Affected by Storm Amy when the flight landed, the aircraft failed its first approach and circled and waited. Later, the aircraft's second attempt failed and the go-around failed again. Unfortunately, the crew chose to divert to Edinburgh, but the approach failed again.
The flight successfully diverted to Manchester Airport after its third go-around.When it landed, there were only 220 kilograms of fuel left in the tank (only enough for a five-minute flight), which was far below the minimum fuel standard, so the authorities launched an investigation into the flight.
According to reports, the flight, operated by Air Malta on behalf of Ryanair, finally diverted to Manchester Airport after multiple failed landing attempts, almost two hours after it first abandoned its landing.
A passenger on the flight involved told the media that when the plane landed for the first time, it circled a few times and then tried to descend, but almost immediately pulled up again.
The second landing attempt was so bumpy that the plane almost touched the runway, but jerked its nose up at the last moment.
"It was only when the plane finally landed in Manchester with almost no fuel that we realized how bad the situation was."
It is understood that the flight model is Boeing 737-800.It is stipulated that the minimum fuel volume cannot be less than the fuel volume required for flying over the airport for 30 minutes, and the minimum fuel volume reference value for the Boeing 737-800 is 1,600 kilograms.
