Qantas A380 jet engine fails: witnesses tell of hearing explosion

Så har Nancy Bird fløyet for første gang siden ulykken satte den på bakken 04. november 2010.

Flyet planlegges å flys tilbake til Sydney 21. april, under callsign QF32, det samme hun brukte den dagen motoren eksploderte.

Det ryktes på A.net at det vil bli gjort ett PR stunt ut av dette, man lusker ikke flyet tilbake i drift, men vil bl.a. ha CEO Alan Joyce med på turen til SYD.

Her er forresten et bilde jeg tok av maskinen i SIN den 14. februar.

For en så stor reparasjon så var ikke dette mye, med tanke på utbytting av wingskin og front spar. :8:

Airbus har faktisk nedjustert tallet til 94kg. Det blir omtrent som meg med litt håndbagasje det

Earlier reports by Flightglobal Pro had put the additional weight at 200kg, but Airbus clarifies that the actual weight added to the aircraft was far less at 94kg

Qantas Airways and Airbus engineers faced both technical and logistical challenges in restoring its first A380 back to virtually brand-new condition after the aircraft's uncontained engine failure in November 2010.

This week Matt & Andy talk to Richard De Crespigny, the captain of Qantas flight QF32 in which his A380 suffered multiple major failures when one of it's engines exploded. He discusses the incident itself and how he felt afterwards and then gives us some great knowledge and advice about stress, failure management and safety culture. This one isn't just for A320 pilots, in fact, it's not even just for pilots - everyone can learn from this episode.

If that wasn't enough, Richard has also donated two signed copies of his latest book, Fly! for them to give away. He has set a question for you to answer, get it correct and you'll be in with a chance of wining one of these two books.

Ikke hørt selv, men tenkte å gjøre det på vei hjem fra jobb.
