how about the Airfrance accident? and other accident happened somewhere in russia? don’t single out the issue that it is because in guyana. it’s a universal problem of human’s negligence and stubborness, you is the example; not using your mind properly.

I agree with you Tsingh and pilot230 it is just a matter of time the government is taking out all the trained and qualified persons and replacing them with those that has a PPP card that is one of the resons that they are lowering the standerds of being a ATCO ,the funcion of an ATCO is to give vertical and horizontal seperation,we need proper ILS,VOR not only at the international air port but the minimum VOR for interior air dromes,is very strange that the Roraima boss and his close coligues who say that ther are playing such a great part in Guyana aveation are not pushing the air safty

The Authorites in Guyana only wake up like Rip Van Winkle when a major catastrophe happens.Remember the Floods of 2005???Then flooding every year after that???

Then they make all kinds of excuses for their incompetence. Time passes nothing happens and they go back to sleep…..Guyanese have become accustomed to negligence,incompetence,dunkedam leaders etc etc.

If the only operable engine was also giving trouble why risk the pilot life by flying it back to ogle? These guys take a lot of risk. The islander is a reliable aircraft so I’ll have to say maintenance might be the problem.

The chain of command needs to be looked at because when the director doesn’t know of incidents or near incidents at SYCJ, it seems as though important information isn’t being relayed to the proper authorities.

The mechanical problems I could understand, but the near collision is another issue.
Thank God no one was harmed.

I have said it over and over, it is not if but when its only a matter of time.Seperation of traffic is the main function of ATC and they are not doing a good job.Invest in radar coverage and another VOR.

This is what happen when the only qualification for a job is a ppp membership card.

Air traffic safety in Guyana now is becoming a bit questionable. It is only when something goes wrong that the people are going to get serious. The relevant authorities first have to start to putting qualified personnels to run the various departments and offer the relevant services instead of having an haphazard approach to things.
