Clive palmers mineralogy

A great effort to the crew on board Clive palmers md82 at brisbane at 1530 after tower and nemerous spotters heard a large bang and a large cloud of black smoke just after v2 at about 300 ft, steep climb out struggling to maintain height and then dropped to a 800 ft and looked like it was going to ditch over water, crew asked for what we seen, fire tenders and to return asap

A steep climb-out while struggling to maintain height?

[falconx]

Climbed steep, 300 ft had issue, got to 800ft, and just maintained for about 8 miles at a high angle then lost visual

[Lasiorhinus]

So when did it drop to 1000 feet from 800 feet?

And how did you know it was just after V2, :confused:

I'm no expert on the MD82, but given it's a transport category aircraft, that thing could have had an engine failure at V1 and it still would have climbed away. So "struggling" when it's already airborne, I don't think so, :rolleyes:.

We need the METAR!

Quite possibly just thought I'd share, upload pics soon

By web track climbed to 1000ft dropped slightly to 900ft then climbed away to 4000 did a RH circuit and landed

While this was happening there appeared to be a King Air 350 Callsign ADA2 doing approaches to 01 for about 2 hours plus. Must of been a quiet day at BN to allow prolonged training in the circuit

Edit - Spelling

ILS Calibration I believe.

Planky would have the answer if he was here.

Was that with a Seth Efriken accent?

[megle2]

ILS cals - all makes sense now

Please spare us from the plane spotters reporting.
