Authorities begin Qantas jet examination | News.com.au
Two investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau today arrived in San Francisco to begin their investigation into the August 30 incident.
The ATSB investigators are expected to remain in San Francisco over the next few days to examine the engine and components and work with the operator and crew to determine the cause of the incident.
The engine will then be shipped to maintenance facilities in Hong Kong where it will be further examined by ATSB's technical investigators.
I don't understand, can't it be done / examined by the ATSB in Australia? Seems rather odd to me as QF have been using RR equipment since the B742 days.
