Incident: Ethiopian B738 at Addis Ababa on Aug 15th 2022, pilots asleep

By Simon Hradecky, created Thursday, Aug 18th 2022 20:09Z, last updated Thursday, Aug 18th 2022 20:09Z An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration ET-AOB performing flight ET-343 from Khartoum (Sudan) to Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), was enroute at FL370 when the pilots fell asleep. The aircraft continued past the top of descent maintaining FL370 and continued along the FMC route set up for an approach to runway 25L without descending however. ATC tried to contact the crew numerous times without success. After overflying runway 25L at FL370 the autopilot disconnected, the disconnect wailer woke the crew up who then maneouvered the aircraft for a safe landing on runway 25L about 25 minutes after overflying the runway at FL370. The aircraft remained on the ground for about 2.5 hours before departing for its next flight. ADS-B data confirm the information, The Aviation Herald received, showing the aircraft maintained FL370 until after overflying the runway before the aircraft began to descend and maneouver for another approach. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/ETH343/history/20220815/0140Z/HSSK/HAAB​
