WHERE is that sandwich I ordered? That’s it. I’m punching that flight attendant in the face! Yes, a “hangry” passenger causes an emergency divert because his sandwich wasn’t delivered in a reasonable amount of time.
Speaking of outrageous behavior, a co-pilot beats up his captain. In front of passengers. Nice.
Finally, a CRJ-700 departed the prepared runway/taxiway surface at Columbia Regional Airport in Columbia, Missouri.

Miami Rick joins me again, this time via Google’s Hangouts On Air technology. On this episode, we talk about updated information regarding the Germanwings crash investigation. Looks like many European carriers are adopting the “at least two persons in the cockpit at all times” policy. We also discussed the Air Canada A320 “short landing” at Halifax last week. The inaugural Virgin Atlantic flight from Manchester, UK, to Atlanta, Georgia, did not go as planned after a celebratory water cannon salute went awry. Whoops.

An unruly passenger, purported to be yelling “jihad” while running up the aisle toward the cockpit door, was subdued by passengers on a recent United flight. The pilots turned the jet around and returned to Dulles International, where the nut case was removed from the flight. This time, it seems that “mentally deranged” better describes the man, rather than “terrorist.”
A Cathy Pacific pilot is catching heat after inviting an attractive passenger to sit in the cockpit as he flew the plane. I’m not sure what the regulations are over there, but here in the US, that’d be a “no no.”
Juraj Vaculik, CEO of AeroMobil, in a keynote at South By Southwest in Austin announced their plans for not only a flying car in the future, but a self-flying car! I love dreamers. Really do!
Finally, a British Airways flight had to divert back to Heathrow International for a smelly predicament. It seems that one of the lavatory toilets was overflowing with “liquid faecal excrement.” You know? That really stinks.

APG Listener, contributor and fellow airline pilot Rick Ruiz joins me for this episode in Miami!
First, we tackle the recent runway excursion incident at LGA. The NTSB is investigating, and so far, all we know is that the airplane didn’t seem to decelerate and the spoilers didn’t automatically deploy. We listen to the ATC recordings (LiveATC.net), and break down what we know.
Imagine you’re out on the golf course, and all of a sudden you hear an airplane flying very close nearby. Then, a WW2 vintage airplane drops from the sky at the next green over. After arriving at the scene, you discover that the pilot of the Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR is none other than Harrison Ford! (Harrison ford plane crash)
On the last episode, we talked about the guy who proposed to his girl while flying inverted… this time, we learn about a guy in San Diego who uses a quadcopter UAV and first-person view goggles to pop the question! Cool.

United sends blunt message to its pilots warning about safety. Boeing CEO explains that B-757 is a very small niche market, and you should not expect them to be making any more. Southwest grounds 128 aircraft due to lapsed inspections.
