Dumping Fuel

[Jay Bo]

Any idea on the aircraft/situation that was dumping fuel over sydney on Saturday

Jay Bo,
The goss hasn't reached Hong Kong yet :ok: but provided the said aircraft did in fact jettison fuel at an altitude of 6000ft AGL or higher (unless other controlling min altitudes are in force) then all's ok.... some of us may have our clothing stained with the pollutants of the environment that we live in..but fuel ? I'd hate to have my clothes doused in fuel, only to realise in a bar/nightclub later on, that by a girl announcing (dreaming again) that I'm 'HOT', that she's really referring to me being on fire... that would destroy any Saturday evening :}
Interested to know the details if they come to hand.
Cheers and safe, happy landings.

Hottie, we all know you're a chick magnet :} And we know you use Jet-A as aftershave ;) Do they have grab-a-granny in HK? :}:ok:

Don't you go stressin' the young fella out, you know what I mean :E

Bad boy.

The aircraft in question was a DHL 727, believe it dumped fuel, due to a duct temp light on (Poss fire indication) on the LH engine and it could not land that heavy.

Hope that helps?
