flight control problem related severe turbulence rather than the weather kind? It's not uncommon in that part of the world…
Hadn't thought of that... The 'Geraldton Triangle'...
Do you guys ever read what nonsense you write?
"Geraldton Triangle"!! Remove the tinfoil hats and measure the distance between Geraldton and "that part of the World" and you'll realise that it's actually over 700km from where the A330(s) had the problems with their flight control computers (Learmonth).
Now, I know it wasn't a Qantas flight and, therefore, according to all Australians, it can't possibly be crewed by qualified, experienced, pilots who know how to make a decent decision
but what is SO unreasonable in accepting that a non-QF flight experienced severe turbulence, the crew were concerned about the state of their aircraft and they brought it back to Perth because that was the most sensible thing to do?
