US Airways Flight 1549
Voo 1549 da US Airways
On January 15, 2009, the Airbus A320 struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off from La Guardia, losing all engine power.
Given their position in relation to the available airports and their low altitude, pilots decided to glide the plane to ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan.
All 155 people on board were rescued by nearby boats, with only a few injuries.
The captain and pilot in command was Sully Sullenberg, a former fighter pilot who had been an airline pilot since leaving the US Air Force.
He was also a glider pilot and expert on aviation safety.
First officer Jeffrey Skiles had accrued 20,727 career flight hours, including 37 in A320, but this was his first A320 assignment as pilot flying.
There were 150 passengers and three flight attendants on board.
Aftermath, passengers and crew sustained 95 minor and five serious injuries, including a deep laceration in the leg of one of the flight attendants.
78 people received medical treatment, mostly for minor injuries and hypothermia;
24 passengers and two rescuers were treated at hospitals, with two passengers kept overnight.
Many passengers and rescuers later experienced post-traumatic stress symptoms.
The controller, who had worked the flight, said that “the hardest, most traumatic part of the entire event was when it was over”, and that he was “gripped by raw moments of shock and grief”.

Gabarito: 🄱
🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
Questão de compreensão direta de fato, típica da EEAR.
A banca cobra a decisão operacional dos pilotos após a perda total de potência, sem espaço para inferência livre.
📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) There were several serious injured people.
❌ Incorreta. O texto afirma apenas cinco ferimentos graves,
o que não corresponde a “several”.
🚩 Pegadinha quantitativa.
(B) Pilots resolved to land in the Hudson River.
✅ Correta. O texto é explícito:
“pilots decided to glide the plane to ditching in the Hudson River”.
(C) Pilots tried to return to the airport after the ditch.
❌ Incorreta. Não houve tentativa de retorno após o ditching;
o pouso na água foi a decisão final.
🚩 Pegadinha cronológica.
(D) The US Airways Flight 1549 was hit by a flock of birds just before the take-off.
❌ Incorreta. O texto diz “shortly after take-off”, não antes.
🚩 Pegadinha lexical (before × after).
⚠️ 3️⃣ Armadilhas clássicas da banca
• “Several” × número real informado
• Confusão temporal (before / after take-off)
• Suposição de retorno ao aeroporto
• Troca entre tentativa e decisão final
🧠 4️⃣ Resumo B3GE™ Master
✔ A perda total de potência levou à decisão de ditching
✔ A escolha foi consciente e definitiva
✔ Não houve retorno ao aeroporto
✔ Impacto ocorreu após a decolagem
🎯 Resposta correta: (B)
