Pilot Lands Safely After Fuel Leak

A light aircraft pilot made a safe landing at Ireland's Shannon Airport on Friday (31 December 2004) after a fuel leak drained the aircraft's fuel tank and almost forced him to crash into the Atlantic Ocean.

The pilot of the Cirrus SR22, who was flying from Goose Bay, Canada, encountered fuel problems about half way through the flight and was caught in heavy rain and snow showers which caused icing on control surfaces. Still, he managed to reach Shannon Airport, running out of fuel as he touched down, reported The Associated Press.

The pilots who work with Private Jet are so experienced and need to have minimum of 3500 hours flight travel before. They would be so keen about the security and make the travel secured and comfortable too. Happy a happy travel with 247 Private Jet.
