One of the worst emergency situations that the metaphor can face is the possibility of a fire on the plane. Even the lowest indicators, such as the cockpit warning, fog, or smoke, are sufficient to take the cabinet crew to take immediate action and landing the plane at the nearest airport available.
This is exactly what happened on the last Air Canada Rouge flight traveling from Harry Red International Airport in Las Vegas to Toronto Person International Airport. The Airbus A321 has made a landing in Di Mine, Iowa, after its cabin began to smell smoke. Fortunately, passengers were not reported in the accident.
Smoke was discovered in the cockpit from Air Canada Rouge A321
On April 16, a Canada Rouge Air
It was necessary to transfer the flight from Harry Reed International Airport (Las) in Las Vegas to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to De Mawin International Airport (DSM) in Iowa because the pilots noticed smoke in the cockpit. It started as routine aircraft, and the data shows that Airbus A321
He was wandering at an altitude of 35,000 feet and had covered more than half of her journey when she was seen making wrap.
according to Flightradar24A321 was seen descending with De Main. Instead of heading north towards Canada, the plane was seen heading right, followed by another sharp turn towards the airport. A decision was taken to convert “an abundance of caution.” There were 176 passengers on the plane, all of them were safely removed without any injuries. One of the passengers said that the entire plane was like smoke. According to De Mine Airport, A321 landed around 16:00 local time. CBC News A statement from Air Canada:
“The A321 plane was naturally evaluated and according to the standard procedure, it was immediately evaluated after landing by the airport’s response teams, then it was wiped to the taxi to the gate.”
About the trip and the plane
The plane was performing the AC1702 flight, which is a daily scheduled service between Las Vegas and Toronto. It has the time of departure 11:10 and the arrival of 18:29. The journey usually takes about four hours to complete it. It was reported that Air Canada was arrangement to fly another plane to Des Moines to capture the passers -by to return them to Toronto.
The plane participating in the accident is Airbus A321Ceo registered with the name C-FJQL. According to data from before Ch-aivation8.94 years old and delivered in May 2016.

The dangerous situation
Fire is one of the most dangerous emergencies that the plane can face. After Air Canada Rouge landed in Des Moines, firefighters used an infrared camera to try to find the cause of smoke, but they did not succeed.
However, airlines all over the world have strict protocols when it comes to detecting smoke in the cabin and things that can be carried inside the plane, including charging suspension. Fortunately, shipments of modern aircraft are used compounds and advanced firefighting systems to reduce fire risk and improve passenger safety. This was done taking into account multiple cases in the past, as fire on the shipment led to a plane crash.
New generation planes like Airbus A350
Use fire -resistant structures in the fuselage, wings and other external and internal components. Airbus applies the requirements of fire, smoke and toxicity to the internal elements of the plane, and the heat heating, degradation, burning and material morphology of complex materials is better than aluminum, which makes new aircraft somewhat better equipped to deal with fire.
