A Singapore Airlines flight from London experienced severe turbulence over the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), resulting in one death from a heart attack and numerous injuries. While media outlets and researchers from Reading University attribute increasing turbulence to climate change, critics argue the incident was caused by standard storm activity near the equator. The flight made an emergency landing in Bangkok after the Boeing 777 dropped several thousand feet.

A United Airlines Boeing 777 experienced a sudden 1,200-foot drop shortly after taking off from Maui on December 18, 2022. While media reports described a 7,000-foot-per-minute nosedive, analysis of ADS-B data suggests the descent was likely caused by a microburst or an autopilot setting error. The NTSB did not launch a full investigation as there were no injuries or fatalities.

The Instrument Landing System (ILS) on Runway 28L at San Francisco was out of service during the Asiana crash, requiring a visual approach. Pilots rely on Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lights to maintain the correct glide path, but data suggests the aircraft was flying too slow and potentially stalled before impact. A minor theory regarding a Class X solar flare affecting instruments is also considered.

The investigation into the Boeing 777 crash at Heathrow Airport focuses on the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) preliminary findings. The aircraft utilizes a fly-by-wire system where pilot inputs are processed by the Fully Authorized Digital Engine Controller (FADEC). While the media has praised the crew, technical questions remain regarding why the massive engines failed to respond to manual throttle commands during the final approach.

### Boeing 777 Landing Mechanics, Engine Failure, Fleet Grounding

- **Episode:** [13: Turned on by Esther Dyson](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/13-turned-on-by-esther-dyson.md)
- **Published:** 2008-01-19

During a landing from Beijing, a Boeing 777 experienced a lack of engine response while on autopilot at 600 feet. Despite the crew's attempts to manually advance the throttles, the plane landed short of the runway, causing the landing gear to shear off. There are calls to ground the 777 fleet until the specific cause of the engine non-responsiveness is identified and rectified.
