We know the term "belly landing". BELLY FLOP is its synonym. You can encounter this term in American news. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DLoM4OoyLhw8&ved=2ahUKEwju4sfnyZP5AhVE6CoKHQjEAJEQjjh6BAgnEAI&usg=AOvVaw1iAzlKhRKFZEiK2xvtU1xV

CONTINGENCY is a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. E.g. While calculating the fuel for the flight, pilots always consider CONTINGENCY fuel. Flight crews and ATCs have to be ready for any CONTINGENCY connected with adverse weather.

PACK OF STRAY DOGS is a group of dogs that lost or don't have home. Yesterday one of my students told me that a PACK OF STRAY DOGS appeared on the RWY at a small aerodrome during his final approach.

Regional commuting in Norway has long been touted as one of the areas that could benefit most from the deployment of an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle ecosystem. And more quiet and connected skies for rural residents of the country, cut off from urban areas by mountainous terrain and long and winding roads, could indeed soon become a reality. Lilium has signed an agreement with AAP Aviation Group for 40 Lilium Jets. The two parties will also collaborate on developing landing sites across Scandinavia. The Lilium Jet is currently under development in Germany. It is expected to carry between four and six passengers and have a range of 250 kilometers. The jet differs significantly in design from the other eVTOLs currently being developed in that it features electric jet engines integrated into the wing flaps. It is intended to be adapted for a range of uses, including a non-passenger configuration serving regional logistics missions.

Frankly speaking, I am sick and tired of a word "damaged". When I hear the student's answer "it can lead to damage of this or that part of a plane.." I always ask "What kind of damage?" because I want to hear the particular vocabulary! Guys, try to show to your examiners that your vocabulary exceeds the limits of "damaged" So, we can say: affected/crippled- поврежденный curved/distorted/buckled -изогнутый, искривленный punched/pierced -пробитый dented- получивший вмятину shattered-разбитый вдребезги cracked-треснувший scratched-поцарапанный torn off/detached/ripped off-оторванный bent-согнутый invalid/on the blink/disabled/inoperative-неработающий ceased operating- переставший работать jammed/stuck-заклинивший come loose-отвалиться, отпасть Or if you are a fan of the word "damage", use some adjectives with it- substantial /significant/horrific/major/minor damage

Pieces of the plane, a Fokker-50 operated by Somalia’s domestic carrier, Jubba Airways, could also be seen strewn across the runway. All 36 passengers and crew survived the crash.

NO-GO SITUATION means 'hopeless situation'

NO-GO SITUATION means "hopeless situation; where is a little chance that smth will happen" E.g. The flight is a no-go because of a technical problem. They faced a no-go situation because neither airport could accept them. P.S. Consider this word in the video extract in the next post.

📐 1001mb or 1011 mb? Airbus A320 inbound to Paris narrowly escaped colliding with terrain just 6ft above the ground while still 0.8nm from runway 27R, after an incorrect pressure setting given to the pilots went undetected. An ATC, some 10min beforehand, had instructed the A320 crew to descend to 6,000ft with a QNH altimeter pressure setting of 1011mb rather than the valid figure of 1001mb. The crew of the A320, operated for Maltese company Airhub, read back this incorrect figure of 1011mb before being given a further descent instruction – again with the wrong pressure setting – and being cleared for an RNP approach to 27R. With the QNH level wrongly set, the Airhub A320 displayed the apparent correct altitude to the crew but followed a descent profile which was actually 280ft too low. The crew executed a go-around because they could not see the runway after the jet had descended to the apparent decision altitude. The aircraft landed without further incident; none of the 178 occupants were injured.

TO SHED FUEL means "to spill fuel"
