About 3 weeks ago VH-OEC landed at JFK. A trailing edge flap canoe was dropped on landing and later recovered from side of the runway. This panel is the covering over flap drive mechanisms and is not a small A4 size component. It is approximately 10 feet long and takes 2 or 3 men to lift in place.
Sounds serious. Why have the press/media chosen to ignore this one? Surely an ASIR would have been submitted.
