Jetstar incident at YBBN

[Pat S]

Hearing some rumours about a Jetstar flight landing at YBBN today where the wing contacted the runway. Not sure how accurate this info is though...

[alidad]

Actually it was worst than that....it was the TYRES that contacted the runway. THE QF32 incident will fade into insignifiance :E

Yawn....:ugh:

[Jack Ranga]

The 787? I thought the batteries were rooted?

[Capt Fathom]

Oh no! Not Alan's favourite airline surely?

[maggot]

Or did the runway contact the wing?

Enquiring minds need to know. :hmm:

Gee two new QF & J* threads & they are still accessible, the Mods must be asleep at the wheel there:-):-)

Hey 'JR' haven't read to much into the batt problem with the plastic fantastic but I was under the impression there was a charging issue re the batteries not so much the batteries themselves although that's the end result, as you say 'rooted':-)

So back to the thread, wing contact the ground?

All exterior lights are LED's now.

White wing tip LED's ( strobes, can't call em that now I guess??? ) are crap.
The 748 has the same, no where near as bright as the 777 strobes.

Yawn....
You may yawn but a wingtip strike is not an insignificant event. Be good to know some more details. If, of course, it ever happened...

Oh oh....sensitive subject! Very very touchy............:=

Well it seems they were seconds from disaster again last night.

Channel 7 reported Jetstar had to abort a landing last night due to strong winds. Wow, must have been seconds from disaster.

What passes for a "journalist" these days is an absolute disgrace.

[Capn Bloggs]

Wow, must have been seconds from disaster.
If they did a go around, I suggest that that statement must be pretty close to the mark?

.....or they might not have completed the LDG Checklist by 1000'?:cool:
