Captain Bengt Eriksson after an other landing, in 1987

Conair Flight OY482 was a Conair Boeing 720-B (Danish reg. OY-APV) return flight with charter passengers and a total of 186 souls on board, from Malaga, Spain to Copenhagen Airport, Denmark at 1.May.1984, which well could have ended in a disaster as the hydraulic system for the undercarriage's down folding of the doors and wheels malfunctioned.



Already over the Biscaya did the F/E or Flight Engineer (Kurt Nielsen) notice a dramatic hydraulic preassure fall. Boeing's Manuals stated clearly: "Turn the hydraulic pumps off. Do not put them on again." The Captain (Bengt Eriksson) decided to take the problem at the home destination (the aircraft then becomes lighter, due to the fuel consumption) and the possible problems ahead would be to see how troublesome it would be to get the gears down. This is not done at cruising altitude. It was far from an emergency situation, yet. The old Boeing B-720's had possibilities to manually crank down both the doors, wheels and to lock the wheels in position. And further was this aircraft steered (ailerons, elevators and rudder as well as the trimming functions for all these) through long metallic wires and some electrical servos made this workload lighter and easier. Also the emergency flaps handler, was electrical too. And the fairly simple Autopilot wasn't affected at all (and there were no Auto Throttles nor slats (or droops) on board either)

When approaching Copenhagen had the F/E to go down "in the cellars", first below the cockpit for the nose door and nose wheel, and both went well. Then he had to open another hatch, inside the passenger cabin. Starboard (to the right, if looking forwards) door and wheel was neither a problem to fold out with the manual crank. But at the Port-side (left, if looking forwards) was the door opened , but the wheel was stuck, and impossible to fold down with the crank. Not even with help from the Cabin Chief (Eric Dreyer) and some muscular passengers. From now on was Conair Flight 482 in a sever emergency situation !

The aircraft remaining fuel for between 90 and 150 minutes. (circulating between 10.000 to 14.000 feet with three open doors and two wheels locked in position, makes calculation of fuel consumption difficult) However during around two hours had the Boeing to circle over the Øresund while the crew (to which also F/O or First Officer Lars Lundum was a vital part) read manuals and had discussions internally as well as with the airport. The F/E thought that in this situation, with all three undercarriage doors and two of the wheels down and locked, that it could be worth an attempt to put the hydraulic pumps back on again. Despite Boeing's manuals did not allow this, as previously mentioned.

But as the fuel was about to run out,and nothing else had been of any help, did the Captain decide to let his F/E to put the pumps back on, in the hope that the remaining hydraulic pressure would be sufficient for the remaining gear. And now would the port-side wheel either come down, or else had the Boeing 720-B been forced to land without the port-side wheel. No one on board knew what the outcome would result in, approximately 1-2 minutes before landing. If the port-side wheel hadn't come down and locked, could the aircraft still land on the starboard wheel, and possibly then lower the nose, so the aircraft soon after landing, would roll on the runway with an airspeed of 120-130 knots. And by trimming hard to the right, could the aircraft possibly also reduce it's airspeed. But it eventually would come to one of two points - either with lack of a carrying wheel, had the port-side wing crashed into the runway at an airspeed between 110 and (at best) 80 knots (92 mph / 148 km/h) and presumably had the aircraft then have turned into scrap-metal in seconds and although next to all fuel was used, could still medium sized fires also appeared. Or the aircraft would have reached the end of the runway, with similar results. Ditching was never an option.

But the F/E was not wrong, and the third wheel actually come down and locked. This meant the emergency situation on board was over, and the aircraft could land as normal for the cockpit crew. There was however no time informing the passengers, and all they were all in brace for impact position during the landing.

However had a large media crowd gathered at the Copenhagen airport after listening to the communication radio or watched as the very noisy Boeing circulated just over the sea outside the Danish Capital City.

1A. Generalsekreteraren - chef över Politbyrån (och partiet)

1B. Politbyrån och Sekretariatet under dessa fanns

2B. Premiärministern (med Presidium och Ministerråd)

2C. Högsta Sovjet (c:a 1500 medlemmar)

Detta var formen åtminstone efter Stalintiden. All egentlig makt låg hos det kommunistiska partiet, och i princip enbart i dess topp. De olika delstaterna hade liknande, men mindre part- och stats-apparater. Boris Jeltsin var den förste demokratiskt valde Presidenten - men enbart för Ryssland inte för hela Sovjetunionen. Likväl lyckades han upplösa hela Sovjetunionen efter att först ha slagit ned en militär-kommunistisk/facsistisk kupp. Michael Gorbatjov som med sin "glasnost" och "perestrojka" banat vägen bort från medborgare som styrdes av skräck för KGB och dess föregångare. Angående de militära och civila säkerhetstjänsterna (vilkas uppgifter i det slutna Sovjet inte var kristallklara, och stundom ändrades) vill jag göra följande förändring av min egen text:

Den civila säkerhetstjänsten (ibland fanns två) hette efter bolsjevikernas maktövertagande

   "Tjeckan" 1917-1922
   "GPU" 1922-1934 (inkl tillf. underavdelning (?)) "OGPU" under några år.
   "NKVD" 1934-1943, den splittrades 1941 i "NKVD" och "NKGB" och namet "NKVD" användes även om "MGB"/"KGB"/"NKGB" tills avstaliniseringen av Sovjetunionen efter 20:e partikongressen 1957.
   "NKGB" 1941-1943
   "MGB" 1943-1953 (Stalins död)
   "KGB" 1954-1991

Den militära motsvarigheten hette (även om gränsdragningen är något diffus)

   ingick i "Tjeckan" från början
   "GRU" c:a 1920-1991

Asking bids within Contract Bridge in a slam searching convention, invited by of this card games pioneer Ely Culbertson[10] , but was later removed from Culbertson's system in favor of for instance cue bids. Asking bids are of the kind, in which one of the two partners after having agreed on a trump colour - directly or implicitly. One of the two partners can then ask his partner of his/her first and second controls in any other colour, but the agreed trump. The replies includes also the decided trump. As all Asking bids as well as their replies (several can be bid in each auction)

Especially in combination with the Free 5NT bid, Grand Slams can be discovered with a very good precision. But Asking bids are a bit complicated. One must keep the question colour, the trump and the two side colours apart. And reply according to a certain scheme. Only bids in the agreed trump can end a began series of the conventional Asking Bids, though some replies can be natural.

Table of replies, including an example in which the auction has began:

1 - pass - 3- pass
4? - pass - Reply
In Culbertson, after an 1 opening, the 3 reply to the 1 opening isn't inviting to a 4 game, but a very strong reply. Forcing to at least game, but a slam may be within reach. The bid requires at least 16 points. Whilst a 2 reply meant 6-9 or possibly 10 points and a 4 reply meant 13-15 points (possibly down to 12, with a 9 cards trump); in the area between 10-12 points with support for the opening major, the reply should instead be 2 in a lower colour. The same applied to 1 - pass - 3


Asking colour ( ) Trump colour ( ) Side colours ( & ) Reply the example
not 2nd insignificant insignificant Trump, lowest 4
2nd not the Ace no Ace(s)/void Trump, lowest 4
2nd Ace no Ace(s)/void Trump jump 5
2nd not the Ace one void void colour 4 / 4
2nd not the Ace one Ace side Ace colour 4 / 4
2nd Ace a void side colour void 4 / 4
2nd Ace one Ace 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
2nd not the Ace one Ace + a void colour of the Ace 4 / 4
2nd not the Ace both Aces 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
2nd Ace one Ace + a void 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
2nd Ace both Aces 5NT = at least 3 Aces, always 5 NT
void not the Ace no Ace(s) raise asking colour 5
void not the Ace one Ace side colour Ace 4 / 4
void Ace no Ace(s) Trump jump 5
void Ace one Ace 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
void not the Ace both Aces 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
void Ace one Ace 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
void Ace both Aces 5NT = at least 3 Aces, always 5 NT
Ace not the Ace no Ace(s)/void raise asking colour 5
Ace not the Ace one Ace 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
Ace not the Ace a void side colour void 4 / 4
Ace not the Ace one Ace + void 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
Ace not the Ace both Aces 5NT = at least 3 Aces, always 5 NT
Ace Ace a void 4NT = 2 Aces, always 4 NT
Ace Ace one Ace 5NT = at least 3 Aces, always 5 NT
Ace Ace one Ace + void 5NT = at least 3 Aces, always 5 NT
Ace Ace both Aces 5NT = at least 3 Aces, always 5 NT

The basic principles are -

  1. Without even the second control in the asking colour, reply negatively - logically trump at lowest level. This applies completely to the situation in the trump and side colors.
  2. Also with a second control in the asking colour, but no other first control, reply negatively - logically trump at lowest level.
  3. If the requirements of either a first control in the asking colour - or at least a second control in the asking colour combined with one or more first controls in Trump and the side colours are met, then reply constructively.

The constructive replies:

  1. With just one first control, this should be shown. Question colour raise, trump raise or a bid in the side colours. (Do not forget to have at least the second control in the asking colour - with out a such, constructive bids are unpermitted.)
  2. With more than one first control, the side colours comes first. Unless there totally is two Aces on the replier's hand.
  3. 4 NT does always mean exactly two Aces (with or without a void)
  4. 5 NT does always mean at least three Aces

It's possible to make a second asking bid in another colour. The replies are then to be given exactly as for the first asking bid. Whilst a repeated asking bid, a second asking bid in the same colour has to take the first one in consideration. As (largely) the first controls have been dealt with once, a repeated asking bid deals with second and third controls (similar to how first and second controls dealt with in the initial asking bid), but a void that hasn't been possible to show, can now be.

Essentials for Asking Bids[11][edit]

What is and what isn't an Asking bid ?

  • First - there has to be an agreed trump colour. Example: after a 1 Spades opening with (the in Culberson very strong) reply 3 Spades, any new bid in other colours are Asking bids - or replies to them.
  • Through implcit agreement, the partner to the opener can begin with a Asking bid, from level four. Example: after a 1 Hearts opening, any double jump in a new colour is an Asking bid, and Hearts agreed trump. Here 3 Spades, 4 Clubs and 4 Diamonds are Asking bids.
  • A bid in NT is never an Asking Bid, but among the replies 4NT and 5NT can be found. (If a reply is 5NT or above, naturally the Free 5NT bid can't be used.

Defintition of controls (in the context of Asking bids)

  • A first control equals a void or an Ace. (In trump only the Ace, naturally)
  • A second control equals any singleton (including a King) or a doubleton or longer with a top-guarded King high. For instance King-Jack high isn't a sufficient second control, but King - Queen is (indepandant of the colour length)

Even third controls just might be asked of (after first and second controls)

  • A third control equals any doubleton or Queen-Jack-10 (with or without more cards, Queen-Jack-9 is not a third control however)
  • For first and second control only Ace-King is acceptable (but the colour can be far longer)A void only counts for a first control - and not first and second control.

What does Asking Bid ask ?

The answer tho that question (for the first Asking Bid) is - "Do you have the first control in this colour ? Or if not, do you have the second control in this colour and one or more other first controls ? (including trump)
