Smoke in cockpit forces Budapest-Lyon flight's emergency landing in Austria
VIENNA, June 9 (Reuters) - Smoke in the cockpit forced a plane carrying 143 passengers and six crew to the eastern French city of Lyon from Budapest to make an emergency landing in Graz, Austria's second city, Austrian police said on Monday.
"No people were injured in the incident. The cause of the smoke is currently unclear," police in the Austrian state of Styria, of which Graz is the capital, said in a statement.
The statement did not specify which airline the plane belonged to but the only flight from Budapest on Monday listed on Lyon-Saint Exupery airport's website was EasyJet (EZJ.L), opens new tab flight 4400.
EasyJet's website said the flight was diverted to Graz and landed there at 3:25 p.m. (1325 GMT). It also listed a "follow-on flight" to Lyon from Graz scheduled for 5 p.m. but estimated to depart at 9:45 p.m.
Flight tracking website Flightradar24, which EasyJet features on its website, said the plane that landed in Graz was an Airbus 319.

Expert issues top tips for beating jet lag
Aviation expert Rhys Jones, who has taken over 130 long-haul flights in six years, shares his tips for managing Jet lag. Mr Jones recommends flying business class for better sleep, as flat beds allow for proper rest. He suggests using melatonin to maintain a regular sleep schedule, particularly when waking up early. Mr Jones advises getting outside for exercise and sunshine to boost alertness after landing. He stresses the importance of sticking to a strict sleep schedule and avoiding oversleeping to stay in the correct timezone. Mr Jones recommends taking 24-minute power naps to feel more alert and suggests taking eastbound day flights from New York and Boston to Europe to avoid overnight red-eye flights.

I've taken over 130 long-haul flights — here's how I beat jet lag
"How do you beat jet lag?" Aviation expert Rhys Jones, from frequent flier website reveals that this is the number one question he's asked when he reveals what he does for a living. Which is mainly flying in passenger planes and writing about the experiences. He reveals that after six years in the job, he's taken over 130 long-haul flights, sometimes circumnavigating the globe without leaving airports. And the answer to the jet lag question? Rhys admits that beating jet lag outright isn't possible, but there are several ways to soften the impact and he claims to "manage jet lag better than most". Here's how he does it. 1. Fly business class Rhys admits this tip "sounds facetious", but he stresses that not only could he not do his job as an aviation writer and hotel reviewer globetrotting in economy, but that "flying business class is the best way to reduce jet lag". Why? "Because with a flat bed you can actually get some decent sleep," he says, adding: "If you're someone who can get a proper eight hours' rest sitting upright cramped in economy, then congratulations. Unfortunately, I need to be at least vaguely horizontal to get some good rest and that's something you only get in business or first class, unfortunately. "I now actively avoid flying long-haul economy at all costs, even when travelling on my holidays." 2. Use melatonin Melatonin is a hormone that makes you feel sleepy — and it's produced in greater quantities at night. Fortunately, this sleep regulator is available over the counter in the US in pill form, with Rhys revealing that it helps him "maintain a regular sleeping schedule". He warns that taking melatonin too often can lead to dependency, but says: "I find it fantastic in dealing with those classic jet lag situations where you are lying in bed wide awake at 3am because your body is telling you it is morning." 3. Sunlight and exercise After he lands, Rhys gets outside for a spot of exercise. He reveals: "Being outside and soaking up some sunshine immediately boosts my alertness and makes me feel better, especially after being in a flying aluminium tube for many hours. "One of my routines, if I feel up to it, is to go for a run outside within a few hours of getting home in the morning." 4. Do not oversleep Don't give in to tiredness, says Rhys. The aviation writer explains: "Be strict with yourself and don't out-sleep an alarm. "There are few things as detrimental and counterproductive than staying in the 'wrong' timezone and oversleeping." 5. Embrace napping Rhys is a believer in the power of the power nap and even has the perfect number of minutes for one – 24. He says: "Personally, I've found 24 minutes to be the ideal amount of time between falling asleep and entering a deep sleep cycle. During such a nap, I'll often feel like I'm not sleeping, only to find my alarm waking me up from a short dream. "I'll then spend five minutes or so slowly re-energising myself before getting back to whatever it is I need to do, feeling better and more alert." 6. US flights to Europe Does Rhys have a trick up his sleeve for dealing with flying east from the US to Europe? Unfortunately not. He tells The Independent: "Flying east — particularly on the overnight red-eye flights from the East Coast to Europe — can be an absolute killer. "The relatively short flight time curtails your night and means you only realistically have a few hours to sleep. "For that reason, I often recommend the east-bound day flights from New York and Boston, operated by British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, JetBlue, United, American Airlines and Air France. "Instead of trying to cram some sleep, you can enjoy the flight instead and land in Europe in the evening, in time for a cocktail and proper night's sleep.'

Meet the man with one of the world's most dangerous civilian piloting jobs — flying solo across the Atlantic in tiny planes
"I love emergencies," Kerry McCauley tells The Independent. "I love the challenge. I love life-and-death situations. It gets me going. It's just what I live for." And that's useful, because Kerry performs one of the most dangerous civilian piloting jobs on the planet — flying brand-new light aircraft across oceans and continents to the buyers. These are planes that are unable to fly above storms and aren't equipped with the sophisticated navigational aids found in jetliners. Plus, Kerry is on his own. He explains: "If the new owner doesn't want to be the one that's stupid enough to fly it over the ocean, that's when they call a ferry pilot." In any given year, three pilots die ferrying planes across the North Atlantic. And 63-year-old Kerry, who lives in Menomonie, Wisconsin, has known pilots duck out and hand the keys back before leaving the mainland. When ferrying planes from North America to Europe or Africa, to "shrink" the Atlantic, a pit stop is made at the airport that's furthest east — St. John's International in Newfoundland. Kerry — who's documented his ferry piloting daredevilry in two books, Ferry Pilot: Nine Lives Over the North Atlantic and Dangerous Flights — reveals: "There's lots of guys, they'll get to St John's, which is the last stop before crossing the North Atlantic, and they look out — you can see the ocean from the airport - and realize that's just way too much water. "They'll turn around and land or not even go, just put the keys in the plane, and call the customer and tell them they can't do it, that it's a really stupid idea." And many would agree that they're right. Flying a light propeller plane across the Atlantic is risky in the extreme for several reasons. First of all, they can't fly above storms like jetliners can. "Most of these small planes don't have the performance to get up there," remarks Kerry, who In Nine Lives over the Atlantic describes being "tossed around like a rag doll" by a storm over Africa. At one point, his plane plunged a thousand feet in seconds. He writes: "A strong downdraft made it feel like a trapdoor had opened beneath me. Loose items floated around the cockpit… as I tried to arrest the uncontrolled descent." Ferry pilots do have access to weather reports, of course, but they can't always be relied upon and are often out of date by the time the destination is reached, with light aircraft flying at speeds of between 100 and 150mph taking many hours to travel vast distances. And if things turn nasty, the pilot just has to deal with it. Kerry explains: "The weather reporting thing, that's what's also challenging as a ferry pilot, because you're traveling these long distances, and many hours — I've had legs that are up to 14-and-a-half hours long. So, before your flight, you get a weather report that's already a couple of hours old and realize you're going to fly for 14 hours and won't really know what the weather's going to be like when you arrive at your destination, because that weather report is 15 or 16 hours old. "And as you know, weather changes all the time. I mean, they can't get the afternoon right half the time on the forecast, so you have to be ready to deal with whatever you find." Navigational aids in a light aircraft are also far inferior to airliners. Kerry reveals: "My first ferry flight was in 1990 and that was before GPS was on the scene. "I did eight crossings with nothing but a paper map, a winds aloft forecast [for winds and temperatures] and a stopwatch, just like Charles Lindbergh [who made the first nonstop transatlantic flight from New York to Paris in 1927]. I mean very literally, no difference. "I actually had when I started, less navigation equipment than they had in the 50s and 60s. I would just get a winds aloft forecast for the whole North Atlantic, and I would get my huge paper map out and calculate each point, what my headings were supposed to be and what the winds are going to do, and make my own call. "And if the weather was sufficient I'd just go for it and trust that my calculations were correct. "And the problem with that? The winds aloft forecast is just that, a forecast. If that forecast is wrong, you can be blown hundreds of miles off course, or run into a headwind you didn't anticipate. And the problem with that is, with no navigation equipment, I don't know that I'm in trouble until I'm way deep into trouble." Does GPS lower the risk? Not according to Kerry. He explains: "When GPS started, more pilots got killed crossing the North Atlantic because that scary part of the navigation was taken out of it. Now, all these pilots who wouldn't dare do it in the past think they can't get lost and become suddenly brave enough to cross the Atlantic. "But that's not the only part of ferry flying. You have to be a weather expert. You have to be a maintenance expert. You have to know your plane." And that plane has propeller engines, far less reliable than jet engines on an airliner that Kerry remarks would be "maintained by a big field of technicians". Light aircraft "just aren't designed for long-distance travel". And once you're mid-Atlantic, there is very little chance of a rapid rescue. Kerry reveals: "Once you're beyond about 150 to 200 miles, you're beyond the reach of helicopters. So, if you happen to go into the water, you can't be rescued by anything other than a boat. "They can send a big search-and-rescue plane to go see you and maybe drop you a nicer raft than the one you're in. But if you go down 400 miles out into the ocean, you're waiting on a ship, and ships are slow. You might be in the water for 24 to 48 hours or more. "And the North Atlantic is very cold. Even if you're in a survival suit, in a raft, 48 hours is a long time to be sitting in cold water." Kerry, who runs a skydiving school, reveals that he's made over 100 ferry pilot trips, despite all the risks and numerous close calls, the most hair-raising of which was when he had a fuel emergency mid-Atlantic, while following Lindbergh's 1927 flight path. He was flying a 1994 single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza to Paris, a "butt-numbing" 2,487 miles from St John's, when his fuel ran low and the reserve tanks in the cabin behind him failed. The pilot recalls: "I was about four hours into the flight, past the point of no return, and I switched over to my ferry tanks — big metal fuel tanks to give the plane the range to cross the ocean. But the ferry tank wasn't working. There's no way I was going to make it back. And this is the middle of the night. I was at 15,000 feet with no one to help me. "We almost always fly alone. We don't have a co-pilot most of the time, just because it's too expensive to bring somebody else along. "I had to find a way to fix it, or I was going to die. I had a raft, but I was under no illusions about surviving. I was literally in the middle of the North Atlantic. There was no way someone was going to come and get me." Kerry realized that the pressurization system for the tanks was broken — the fuel wasn't being pushed through to the wing tanks. But Kerry remained calm. "I didn't allow myself to panic," continues Kerry. "I've had a lot of emergencies, and I've learned over the years to take any panic and fear and set that aside." It dawned on Kerry that he would need to manually pressurize the tanks to push the fuel through by blowing into a pressurization hose that was attached to them. Kerry explains: "I thought, 'If I can blow up an air mattress, maybe I can blow up a steel tank.' And I just stuck that hose in my mouth and started blowing. And after a few minutes some fuel moved and I realized it worked. But I realized I was going to have to blow into that tank all night. So, I had to sit there at 15,000 feet with no oxygen, blowing into that tank for eight and a half hours with no help and gas fumes in the plane. "I'm in high altitude, no oxygen, got super hypoxic, passed out three times. But there's nothing else to do. You don't have a choice. You have to dig inside yourself and find a way to find a way to survive." The elephant in the room for some reading all this might be the question of why light aircraft aren't just shipped to their customers. Kerry reveals that taking a plane apart and putting it back together again is not a sensible plan. He explains: "It is possible to take the wings off an airplane and ship it in a container, but that usually doesn't work out very well. It's a lot more expensive. There's a lot of maintenance involved. And airplanes aren't designed to have the wings come off and back on again. "A lot of times, parts get lost when they put the wings on. Sometimes, it never just flies quite right again. A lot of times you're going to a destination where they don't have the maintenance facilities for that. Plus, it could get damaged. "So, the vast majority of the time a plane needs to be shipped overseas, it's flown by a ferry pilot." Kerry explains that his full-time job at the moment is running his skydiving school, but he will still occasionally make a ferry pilot run. He says: "I'm a lot pickier on what I'll do these days, because I don't need to prove anything anymore. "I've done it over 100 times, and I've risked my life far too many times. But I'll still take a trip if it's a grand adventure, and if it's a cool airplane I want to fly, or it involves a cool destination.
