Name

[edit]

Is there an appropriate flight number that this incident could be named after for consistency with other commercial aircraft? Borgenland (talk) 15:37, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely. It was a ferry flight for maintenance, those, to my knowledge, don't usually get assigned flight numbers like commercial flights do, with the aircraft's registration (in this case 9N-AME) used as their callsign in radio communication. Flock of geese (talk) 15:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then we can do something like "2024 Saurya Airlines crash" (they are unlikely to have anohter this year given the context) but I don't see any reason that the aircraft type should be in the name. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:17, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but who expected in 2014 for Malaysia Airlines to have 2 plane crashes in just four months? But i also doubt Saurya Airlines would have another crash, i don't expect them to get grounded and cease operations for a while. Iyusi766 (talk) 23:13, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the flight number is flight FER per this source: [1] GalacticOrbits (talk) 14:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"took off in wrong direction"

[edit]

I would kindly suggest that "he aircraft took off in the wrong direction" fragment in the Investigation section is changed to something alonge the lines "turned in the wrong direction after take off" or ""turned in the wrong direction after becoming airborne". The original phrasing suggest the aircraft lining up in the wrong direction on the runway and then taking off (here it would have been runway 20 instead of runway 02 that was in use) rather than veering to the right instead of turning left once airborne. As such, it is misleading and does not convey the information contained in the cited source. Flock of geese (talk) 16:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
