www.pahana.com.au Tribute to Sri Lankan Airline Pilots and the flight engineer of UL-504 flight who saved 525 precious human lives along with the invaluable aviation assets under the very adverse conditions prevailed in the sky at an altitude of 33,000 feet over Romania 1. Aircraft with the flight numbered UL 504 was flying smartly 8. In order to gain the commercial pilot license, studying in English is It was heading into a journey that was meant to Colombo calmly much emphasized Weather was nice and the cockpit had sensed everything finely But a hazardous moment was coming out of the blue very closely…! Or else to become an ATC or an aeronautical engineer, knowing English is so capitalized 2. Our pilots felt the danger lying ahead with their accurate instinct precisely Certain air crashes in the history have already resulted in disasters by which it implies There was another aircraft flying at a speed faster than the former stealthily Lack of English ability makes you lost in translation between ATC and pilots otherwise.! The former was advised to ascend the aircraft to be on the collision course surely 9. Zenith of English knowledge is so important that to ‘read, understand and to follow’ Their analytical thinking and the prompt action were felt later by everyone largely…! Instructions, specifications, information, narrations, clarifications and so on to swallow 3. The latter plane had disappeared from the radar due to Transponder intermittent If the ATCs’ and pilots lack specified knowledge, it makes the aviation industry to slow Thus, air traffic controller couldn’t track and locate it which was so inadvertent The pilots equipped with very good English knowledge makes that gap very narrow…! Former’s TCAS stopped receiving signals due to this failure was far adamant 10. Our pilots bear all those significances that shines out themselves from others The maneuvering and decision making skills in such a crucial time was very diligent…! Their outgoing personality and inter-personal skills make them the kings in it hither 4. It is very difficult to travel when the transponder is intermittent or malfunctioning Any flying machine that they govern aims at flying smoothly as a butterfly thither It is also hard to ascend or descend when the same problem is thus remaining ‘Vigilance’, the main tool that comes under their belt yielding safety more than any other! There were number of instances where same thing happened with no one escaped dying 11. Flight instruments indicating critical data and related specification Speeds, altitude, global positioning and other gyroscopic information But the aptitudes of our pilots overcame all risks as the time out and fast Understanding and executing everything precisely and in intervention running…! Never relied on instinctive and false egoistic manure, but in evaluation…! 5. Transponder transmits signals to ATC and TCAS by inter-connecting them with 12. Pilots are not supposed to be engaged in ‘good for nothing’ or ‘frivolous’ conversation Any other plane flying in the vicinity is sensed and the signals routed through forthwith It prevents errors, mistakes, shortcomings, loopholes, mishaps to be in accumulation If the transponder is intermittent or fails, the wreckage can be found in the sea beneath They should be informative, updated, attentive and vigilant in detailed and in attention In this instance, our heroes were in total darkness but their vigilance was at its zenith…! Haphazard and risky maneuvering is never permitted except the fullest concentration..! 6. Understanding the dynamics of air traffic matters better than the rest In turn, they floated their aircraft on the same course at their level best 13. Trainings, tests, reviews and evaluations are being held in its due All were in full control of the aircraft to face the ‘uninvited guest’ diligence Their attempt paid off preventing the lives from lying in Mara’s nest…! All traits that administer aviation safety should always be in compliance 7. It is advisable and emphasized to do math stream at your A/L to be a Technological aspect and critical infrastructure are consistence with good pilot alone relevance Double math, physics, chemistry are embedded in the stream that widens All those characteristics would go wasted and are in vain if pilots lack your brain ‘vigilance’…! It expands and enhances sharp thinking and accurate analysis that gears prompt action 14. Once airborne, there are vital calculations needed as and when necessary To become a great pilot, you need all those traits that are etched in the soul of aviation! There is no single passage of time to waste in the cockpit unnecessary Well familiar with the appropriate functions of the concerned accessory Overall failure deserves you the one term called ‘Death’ in the vocabulary…! 8 AUGUST The first Sri Lankan community newspaper with SINHALA | ENGLISH | TAMIL

www.pahana.com.au 15. ‘Death’ is the doctrine that cannot be deceived and it works ferociously 20. UL 504 Sri Lankan airline’s super jumbo flight But our heroes theory was to do it somehow or other way round wisely Has safely and smoothly landed at Sri Lanka’s sight Their tactic worked out in such a way magnificently and moreover Everything had ended quickly and so was outright marvelously All are happy because of Naveen and others’ fight…! Not everyone could do it because history has the actual and factual facts openly…! 21. As things went on, the British Airways had claimed that they did the best 16.

Hadn’t it worked out that way precisely and accurately I would have written this set of poems totally differently…! 18. Knowing everything in detail around navigation of a plane and its safety Grasping all aviation doctrines through aeronautical concepts very vastly Composed on an actual incident by: Mastering the art of navigating a jumbo jet is; for them to be seen very Anurasiri Ranasinghe - AUSTRALIA easy Their amazing abilities and cleverness got the due respect from the people ultimately! 19. Actually, it was a fight or plight situation PAwHwAwN.Apahmanya.kcom.au Any mistake wouldn’t allow rectification There was no time to do arithmetical calculation Everything worked well because of the ‘observation’…!

www.pahana.com.au AUSLMAT from Dr. QUINTUS DE ZYLVA DONATIONS Chairman | Sri Lanka Cricket Foundation of Victoria AUSLMAT has had several requests for essential medical PAwHwAwN.Apahmanya.kcom.au items and drugs such as antibiotics, vaccines and paracetamol. We have had donations amounting to over $50,000 from Australian business groups in an attempt to ease the tragic situation confronting the poor people of Sri Lanka. ROSHAN MAHANAMA DOES US PROUD Roshan has responded to the tragic series of events that has brought Sri Lanka to its knees without fuel and other essential items. Roshan has assisted in distributing food and other items widely during the last few weeks while all of Sri Lanka has tragically been condemned to a time of great distress. Roshan has played a vital role in partnering with local charities to help locals, and even found time to attend the last match of the One Day Series. Cricket Australia has featured widely as showing compassion to the difficulties that the Sri Lanka people face at the moment. The fact that the Australian Cricket Team committed to and played One Day, T20, and a Test series at a time where there are such shortages of essential items such as fuel and food has been recognised in the local press in Sri Lanka. Roshan has been a close associate of many of us from the time he made his first trip to Australia in 1983 to play cricket, just as he finished his schooling in Colombo. His father Upali instilled in Roshan the qualities that have made him a much sought after humanitarian. MEDICAL CONSULTANTS AT BADULLA HOSPITAL The tragic situation in Sri Lanka has extended to Doctors at the Badulla Hospital riding push bikes to work and back as they have been unable to purchase fuel. 40 AUGUST The first Sri Lankan community newspaper with SINHALA | ENGLISH | TAMIL
