IndiGo plane faces engine stall warning for few secs on ‘wake turbulence’
An Airbus plane operated by IndiGo faced “engine stall” warning for a few seconds as it flew into wake turbulence caused by a Boeing 777 aircraft that flew from the opposite side.
The mid-air incident happened for IndiGo’s Guwahati-Mumbai flight that was operated with am Airbus 320 ceo plane on Monday.
IndiGo’s aircraft “came into the wake turbulence of opposite traffic Emirates Boeing 777 aircraft” on Monday, a source at aviation regulator DGCA said.
According to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), every aircraft generates wake turbulence while in flight. The wake turbulence is a function of an aircraft producing lift, resulting in the formation of two counter-rotating vortices trailing behind the aircraft.
