Hi All,
Browsing the ATSB safety reports for a report on an incident I was involved in as a SLF many years ago .. there seems to be a huge chunk of reports missing from the database around 1978 to 1988:
Transport Safety Investigation Reports
Either Australia Aviation got very lucky during these years or a bunch of reports are missing .. anyone know ??
----
My particular incident was an Ansett flight OOL-MEL operated by a 727 sometime during 1981 or 1982 (my memory fails me now - I was quite young) ..
The incident involved a hydraulic failure of right main gear whilst lowering on approach, causing damange to the wing & gear. Full emergency procedures ensued but we did land safely with the gear holding up on landing (still got to ride the slides which was fun !)
Anyone who has any recollection or involvement in this incident I would love to hear from you
