Cabin rain

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

A Boeing 777 was en route and climbing to its final cruise altitude. Shortly after reaching this altitude a passenger reported that water was dripping on top of him, and not only him, but a group of about 10 passengers in the same area of the plane. The cabin crew saw the flow of water drops from the air conditioning system, and that it wasn’t stopping. They told the captain, who decided to return to their airport of origin for passenger comfort reasons.

Global safety in 2014

Here’s an interesting video that reports on airline safety in 2014.

Try to answer the following questions about the video and come back on Monday for the answers.

Brake problem

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

An Embraer ERJ-175 was en route at FL340 and close to its destination when the pilots noticed a brake warning light. The crew didn’t want to take any chances, so they requested emergency services at their destination for their arrival. The plane touched down normally and came to a stop on the runway. The pilots asked the emergency services to check the landing gear for smoke and fire. There was none and the plane continued to its stand normally to disembark the passengers.
