‘I lost my ability to fly the plane’: Pilot told passenger his gauges ‘just blanked out’ mid-flight on LATAM Airlines’ Boeing Dreamliner


A passenger on board a Sydney-to-Auckland flight that dropped out of the sky has revealed the “shocked” pilot told him all his gauges blanked out on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

The plane, which was eight years old, recovered and landed safely at Auckland, when the pilot came to the back of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner “in shock”, Jokat said. “A man was in the toilet when the jolt happened, he came out of the bathroom with blood streaming down one side of his face,” passenger Lucas Ellwood said. “LATAM regrets the inconvenience and injury this situation may have caused its passengers, and reiterates its commitment to safety as a priority within the framework of its operational standards.”
