Air Travel Safety Rise to a higher Level Through advanced Pilot Skills in Uganda.

There have been several aircraft crush incidents that have been happening all around the world and they have been due to several reasons like Pilot error (weather related) represents accidents in which pilot error was the cause but brought about by a weather related phenomena, Pilot error (mechanical related) represents accidents in which pilot error was the cause but brought about by some type of mechanical failure, and other human errors include air traffic controller errors, improper loading of aircraft, fuel contamination and improper maintenance procedures. Sabotage includes explosive devices, shoot downs and hijackings.

However, Air crash accidents have been survived due to the advanced skills that the pilots used during the travel. A Cessna 182, owned and operated by KAFTC, also known as the Aero Club of Kampala, made a controlled landing on the main road from Masaka to Kampala, when the single-engine plane developed a mechanical problem en-route back from an airstrip near Bwindi National Park to the Kajjansi airfield outside Kampala. Many of KAFTC’s pilots are also instructors, and the pilot’s skills undoubtedly avoided an accident when he calmly decided to set down the Cessna on the main highway before then getting the plane to stop off the road using a turn off. Reportedly, there were two foreign tourists on board who were eventually picked up by a vehicle and returned to Kampala.

Sections of the local media made, as often the case, a reporting mess out of things, talking of a plane crash, which was, of course, not the case. The scribes alleged that the local residents “fled their homes and farms, howling” before making an unwarranted reference to the “last fatal crash” in a disgraceful display of sensational journalism.

KAFTC is said to be fully cooperating with the Civil Aviation Authority to establish the cause of the mechanical problems, which led to the landing of the craft outside designated fields, but since there were no injuries the matter, it is being treated as an “incident” rather than an accident, a major difference which seems to have escaped the local scribes. Therefore, for any one to travel to any tourism destination by air transport, Air safety is a guarantee and always make it part of your plan while planning for a holiday or vacation trip to Uganda.
