Ryanair plane with 172 passengers came within seconds of hitting helicopter after pilot didn’t realise autopilot was off
A RYANAIR plane came within seconds of hitting a helicopter — as the captain did not realise the autopilot was off.
The aircraft, carrying 172 passengers, was approaching Stansted Airport at 3,000ft when the incident happened, investigators said.

Its inexperienced co-pilot handed control to the captain who was unaware autopilot and autothrust were not engaged.
The Boeing 737 plummeted about 550ft before the problem was noticed. At that moment, a helicopter was flying in the vicinity at about 2,000ft.
Investigators said the Ryanair flight from Szczecin, Poland, was just 300ft above.
Its captain seized back control and climbed to safety before landing in March last year.
An Air Accidents Investigation Branch report stated: “The co-pilot said that this was his first time he had handed over control during manual flight and he did not know the precise call-outs that were stated in the Flight Crew Operating Manual.”
It added: “Whilst he did not highlight the fact he was manually flying he assumed the commander realised this.”
The investigators said there was no formal reply in the manual.
But it said: “It is common practice in all areas of aviation, to say, ‘I have control’, once the transfer is made”.
The airline’s manual has now been expanded to ensure a positive reply, the report added.
The incident has echoes of a January crash over Washington DC between an airliner and US Army helicopter, killing 67.

Watching legendary TV show soothes part of brain that deals with pain, study shows
WATCHING David Attenborough documentaries soothes away pain, a study suggests.
MRI scans show that looking at nature videos reduces activity in parts of the brain that manage how people feel discomfort.

Volunteers sensed less pain from small electric shocks when looking at images of the natural world compared with when shown those of a city or office.
Researchers said nature’s pain-relieving effects were half as powerful as paracetamol — adding that more research could help develop treatments.
PhD student Max Steininger, of Vienna University, said people had previously reported feeling less pain when watching nature but the reason was unclear.
He said: “Our study is the first to provide evidence from brain scans that this isn’t just a placebo effect — driven by people’s beliefs and expectations that nature is good for them.
“Instead, the brain is reacting less to information about where the pain is coming from and how intense it feels.”
Co-author Dr Alex Smalley, of the University of Exeter, said the study showed that “virtual encounters” with nature might help pain sufferers who could not get outside.
Sir David has previously linked being in nature to feeling happier and healthier.
In 2018, he said: “Spending time with nature offers us all precious breathing space away from the stresses and strains of modern life.”

The building materials industry offers diverse career paths with big potential earnings
A JOB in construction does not just mean the traditional site roles and trades.
Instead of laying bricks, plumbing or carpentry, why not consider a career in the building materials industry?

The £51billion sector employs almost 200,000 people but is often overlooked for more high-profile skills.
To help address a growing shortage, national trade body the Builders Merchants Federation has launched a campaign showcasing options available.
More than 1,000 companies have come together to highlight the range of roles on offer.
BMF chairman Richard Hill said: “By establishing building materials as a distinct sector, it becomes distinguishable from the wider construction industry.
“It defines the role of builders’ merchants and suppliers who make, sell and distribute all the products that are needed for the UK’s building and construction projects.
“And it offers a wealth of vibrant and dynamic career paths across product development, finance, logistics, marketing and distribution.”
Jobs in building materials range from branch positions that are responsible for selling supplies, to facilities staff who keep buildings maintained.
There is also manufacturing, sustainability, logistics and warehousing.
Ways into the industry include apprenticeships and graduate schemes, with salaries ranging from £23,000 for an entry-level role to six- figure sums for senior management positions.
The federation’s new recruitment campaign is targeting school leavers, career switchers with transferable skills and also those people coming out of the Armed Forces, who might already have many of the qualities needed to succeed in the materials sector.
Abbie Johnson is the manager of building merchant Alsford’s Brighton operation.
The 28-year-old began her career as a yard assistant at the age of 16 and worked her way up to be a branch manager six years later, aged 22.
Abbie said: “There are no minimum qualifications to start out in an entry-level role. It’s down to attitude and behaviour.
“Having a positive attitude and willingness to learn are essential.
“I love working as part of team.
“We get to meet members of the local community and support any project they have — not just housebuilding but things ranging from putting decking in gardens to adding new shelving in homes.
“I love being able to make a difference to all of our customers.
“The career development within the building materials sector is huge — from learning how to drive a forklift or taking part in management training schemes, to being trained on using woodworking machinery or developing your career in commercial or buying.
“Wherever your passions lie, in this industry there is a role for everyone.”
John Newcomb, who is chief executive of the BMF, said: “We need to invest in a building materials supply chain, that brings a diversity of skills to produce the materials needed for a new generation of construction projects for the future.
“This includes meeting the Government’s pledge to build 1.5million homes in the UK.”

EXPLAIN GAPS IN YOUR CV
MANY people choose to step away from work to travel, care for relatives or for other personal reasons.
But a gap in your CV is still regarded with suspicion by some employers.

Careers expert Robbie Bryant, from the Open Study College, says: “Candidates just need to be honest about the time spent away from work and what skills or training they feel they may need a refresh on in order to fulfil the job requirements.”
Here Robbie, pictured, shares his advice for explaining a career gap to a potential employer . . .
- REDUNDANCY: Tell a them what you’ve learnt from your experience of being made redundant. It will portray a good work ethic.
- TRAVELLING: Employers want to know why you have travelled, but don’t say just for fun. Explain whether it was to experience different cultures, learn new languages or develop new skills.
- CARING: You don’t need to go into the full details, just be confident in your response and make sure the employer knows why you’ve decided to come back to work now.
- HOLDING OUT FOR RIGHT ROLE: Not rushing into a job and planning to pursue your dream career is wise. Position your break as a time to explore what you truly wanted to do in life and show how and why you’ve come to this decision. This will demonstrate genuine interest and determination to succeed in the role you are applying for.
