Passengers praise MH192 pilot

SEPANG: Passengers of a Malaysia Airlines flight which had suffered a burst tyre were full of praise for its pilot Captain Nor Adam Azmi Abd Razak, whom they said had handled the situation professionally.
They commended him for carrying out text-book safety procedures to land the aircraft safely at KL International Airport.
In the incident on Monday night, the Boeing 737-800, flight code MH192, which was bound for Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, was forced to return to KLIA after a tyre in its right-hand landing gear burst during take-off.
The aircraft was carrying 159 passengers and seven crew members.
A passenger Eugene Chin, who was going for training at Bengaluru, woke up after an hour of sleep and noticed that the plane was still in an orbital pattern near Malaysia.
“I then overheard that something was wrong with the plane’s landing gear and that there was a possibility of an emergency landing,” said the 24-year-old Malaysian IT strategy analyst.
“We received constant updates. The captain did a good job and was very thorough with the safety procedures,” he added.
