Pilot's last conversation with Air Traffic Controller #Dana Air


THE LAST CALL...


The pilots of the ill-fated Dana air plane declared emergency at 5000 feet above sea level before disaapearing from radar after descending to about 800 feet. The pilot contacted the air traffic controllers and was give given some instruction to whic he replied "1811 good day'' ...meaning he understood the instruction.

While the pilot, an American , Peter Waxtan was struggling to get the plane under control, his indian co-pilot Mr. Mahendra Roathore initiated contact as obtained by Punch and transcribed below;


Co- pilot: "Lagos tower, Dana code 0992"!

ATC: "Dana code 0992, this is Lagos radar, go ahead!"

Co-pilot : "May Day! May Day! May Day! Dana Code 0992 Five November Romeo Alpha Mike! (5N-RAM) dual engine failure!"

ATC: "Dana code 0992, read me?"

Co-pilot; "i read you five by five! Dual engine failure! Negative response from throttle! Requestig for direct straight approach!"

ATC: "Alright, position it to one mile to touch down, Runway 18R! Contact tower now on 1181!"

Co-pilot: "1181 good day!"

That was the last conversation before the crash on June 3, 2012....:(
