Qantas A380 grounded in Los Angeles

[ddd]

"We've boarded passengers, [the captain has] started the engine and he's received an indication light in the cockpit of low oil pressure in one of the engines," a Qantas spokeswoman said.

"In no way was this a safety issue, but Qantas will always take precautionary measures and ensure safety before schedule," the spokeswoman said.

Howe many times a day is an aircraft delayed because of an indication of a fault?

Hardly a safety issue.....

Sensationalistic journalism yet again.....

What does 'xcld' mean please? :confused:

[Q300]

Turin, it (xcld) means cancelled.

You'll often find x abbreviations - like tx for transmit, wx, for weather, etc, etc.
