Hi,
Pour mettre les choses au point (définitivement ?) je ne suis pas Norbert (et bien content de n'avoir pas a subir toutes ses péripéties) et Norbert n'est pas moi
qui a conçu, testé, fabriqué, livré et facturé le moteur et ses clients Qantas et SIA.
Et qui ont sont
certifiés en fin de chaîne ... par
EASA .......
Extrait du forum en langue anglaise (intèressant ce que ce "petit incident" a comme conséquences ... et bien que cela se termine par un "happy end" .. cela n'arrange rien .. )
An unattributed list of the damage to QF32:
* massive fuel leak in the left mid fuel tank (the beast has 11 tanks, including in the horizontal stabiliser on the tail)
* massive fuel leak in the left inner fuel tank
* a hole on the flap canoe/fairing that you could fit your upper body through
* the aft gallery in the fuel system failed, preventing many fuel transfer
functions
* fuel jettison had problems due to the previous problem above
* bloody great hole in the upper wing surface
* partial failure of leading edge slats
* partial failure of speed brakes/ground spoilers
* shrapnel damage to the flaps
* TOTAL loss of all hydraulic fluid in the Green System (beast has 2 x
5,000 PSI systems, Green and Yellow)
* manual extension of landing gear
* loss of 1 generator and associated systems
* loss of brake anti-skid system
* unable to shutdown adjacent #1 engine using normal method after landing
due to major damage to systems
* unable to shutdown adjacent #1 engine using using the fire switch!!!!!!!!
Therefore, no fire protection was available for that engine after the
explosion in #2
* ECAM warnings about major fuel imbalance because of fuel leaks on left side, that were UNABLE to be fixed with cross-feeding
* fuel trapped in Trim Tank (in the tail). Therefore, possible major CofG
out-of-balance condition for landing
