Audio answer: ‘Takeoff landing’

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

A small plane with fourteen passengers and four crew members took off and retracted its landing gear almost immediately afterwards. Suddenly, while still on the runway heading, smoke appeared in the cabin. The pilots decided to put the plane back down on the runway with the gear up and came to a stop about 350 metres short of the end of the runway. An investigation into the incident has been opened.

Audio answer: ‘Cargo smoke’

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

A 777 with 246 passengers and 15 crew, was descending towards its destination when the pilots noticed a cargo smoke warning indication. Due to their proximity to their destination, they expedited the approach to the runway and landed safely. Emergency services were called out but found no fire or smoke. The airline later confirmed the cargo smoke warning to be a false alarm.

A Boeing 767 with 235 people on board, was en route and cruising when the cabin crew detected a burning smell in the galley. They decided to check the galley and a flight attendant discovered that some food items had caught fire inside an oven. The fire was immediately extinguished and they informed the captain of the situation. The captain decided to continue the flight because the danger had passed.
