The show, which recreates some of aviation's biggest disasters, was due to air in the esteemed 9pm slot.
However, due to the crash of a Voepass aircraft in Sao Paulo last Friday that killed all on board, the planned fourth episode was scrapped.
It was set to explore the Kegworth plane crash of 1989 where a Boeing 737 plane crashed at the side of the M1 motorway while attempting an emergency landing.
But now The Sun can reveal the series will continue as planned from this Friday - with last week's episode now available on My5 before it airs later this month.

A source said: “Channel 5 bosses quickly decided it was insensitive to go ahead with the planned broadcast on Friday so soon after news broke of the awful plane crash in Brazil.
“It was quickly swapped out with a repeated episode of Police Code Zero: Officer Under Attack which confused viewers at home.
“The series will resume as normal this week with the next planned episode in the order they were originally set to air.
“It means last week’s episode will now air at the end of the series later this month.”

Plane etiquette
IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules...
RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn't recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop.
He said: "Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half."
Before you recline your seat, it's best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing.
If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back.
FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: "Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for.
"Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else.
"If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up."
CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren't welcome, suggesting that others shouldn't expect a chat.
She added: "I’m not a talker. Plane time is me time."
