For information, let us tell you that on January 15, Yeti airline’s plane crashed near Pokhara airport. All 72 people present in the plane were killed in that accident.

But it is being told about the Nepal plane crash that the wing flaps could not open properly. In such a situation, the speed of the aircraft was also high and the landing attempt also failed completely. A video has also surfaced in which it is seen that the plane tilts completely to one side and then falls straight into the ditch. In the report that has come out for now, the non-opening of the flap is believed to be a major reason. At the same time, the help of black box will be taken to know the real reason.

What are the rules during landing in the plane?
They tell that when any aircraft reaches 1000 feet then the airport authority is informed. This is the situation when the aircraft is completely ready for landing. At the same time, when the speed of the aircraft reaches 296 kilometers per hour, then the landing gears are opened. At this time, it is necessary to open the flaps of any aircraft at 15 degrees. And when the speed reaches 277 kmph, the flaps open up to 30 degrees. Now according to Pandey, when the plane of Yeti airline had reached this low, its flaps were open only at 15 degrees.
