It is known that the terrible plane crash that took place in ahmedabad on june 12th took place. The whole world was shocked by this accident. In this accident, 241 people were traveling on the plane and 19 civilians outside died. It is known that the pilots received a "May Day" call from the ATC seconds before the plane crashed. With this, it is known that there was a discussion about what a May Day call is. This is a call that is made by the pilots to the air traffic control when there is a problem with the plane. However, within 38 hours of the accident, another air india flight became tense. As part of this, a Boeing 777 flight departing from delhi to Vienna in the early hours of june 14 received a stall warning.
Yes... The Vienna flight departing from delhi in the early hours of june 14 suddenly descended 900 feet. With this, the passengers on the plane suddenly became worried. At that time, a warning signal was emitted from the Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GPWS). Let's see what that alert is now..! Mode - 1 warns whenever the plane is landing or close to the ground. The initial warning in this sequence is the "sink rate" (the rate at which the aircraft loses altitude). If the aircraft is flying up a mountain or over steep terrain, then the ground clearance is rapidly decreasing. Mode-2 will issue a "full up" warning.

Now... Mode - 3 helps pilots maintain a positive climb rate after takeoff. As part of this, after the aircraft reaches 1,000 feet, the system will sound a "don't sink" warning. Similarly, Mode - 4 warns if the landing gear or flaps are not configured correctly for landing. That is... "don't sink" warnings are issued by the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) when the aircraft is descending too quickly, especially when approaching or close to the ground. These warnings help pilots avoid dangerous situations. Well... it is known that a Mayday call is a radio communication to inform the nearest ATC that they are facing an emergency situation. That is... a request for immediate help because they are in danger. In times of emergency, pilots say the word 'Mayday' three times!
