A380 config at the stand in Dubai
Just flown to LHR via DXB on a Qantas A380. I noticed that both our aircraft and the neighbouring QF A380 had parked at the stand with the slats and flaps partially extended. Curious as to why. I wondered if this was to avoid problems with jamming due to metal expansion in the heat (at one point predicted to be 47C on Sunday!).
Thanks
