well...
No tyre blow out involved as far as I know, but shall we say descriptions given thus far on the thread are what you would expect for the situation that occurred.
How have they managed to keep all the passengers quiet about it?

Probably because the passengers didn't notice much and refused to succumb to mindless panic. Non-events have that effect on people...
Of course if it was the UK, they would all have been on their cellphones to the tabloids...

Its going to be very dangerous for me to state what I do know as I do not represent Air NZ. But I know the passengers did notice!
SOP was carried out...

geez some of you guys need to get over yourselves! It will all be published in due course, and is probably common knowledge around the airport. The event is a few days old now so the papers won't be interested (if they ever were). So why not put your anonymity to good use, spill the beans and put all the wannabes/plane spotters out of their misery?
'Cos if you don't were going to start talking about Tridents and 727s again...
Probably just an engine farting and dying anyway...

Pictures available for un believers the yoof of today
So should we show em pics of the household fridge size Carousel IRS (was it 90 minutes to align ?) or how about that new fangled doppler nav, VLF/Omega (saw they decommissioned the last Omega station recently), RNAV still useful all marvels of the day.

Of course we should! Then they will know what all those questions in ATPL papers are referring to...
The moving map display is at the middle right, above the power levers. There is no map in place in this picture, but you can see the rollers that the map runs over. You can see the pointer towards the right of the unit. Some useless First Officer has put the bug card over the front of the moving map unit...
We doan need no steenking GPS...
Lots of other really interesting technology on this aircraft... the HSI is particularly interesting... yellow and blue sectors and all sorts of interesting pointers!

And being a British design, the instrument panel was designed, by standing down the back of the aircraft and randomly lobbing the instruments at the panel, with the Capt getting all the pretty coloured ones and a real steering wheel.

Gaunty, I'm perplexed. You said,
are you saying the Brit's don't have an ergonomic bent when it comes to the design of aeroplanes ......
..... and cars ......
.... and trucks .....

Ah yes, the British. Aren't they the crowd who designed a high performance piston engine fighter and put the undercarriage lever on the opposite side of the cockpit from the throttle quadrant?

Well, we are so far off thread now why not.
I can see the little retractable tray thingy on the RH side 1/3 way up for the teapot, milk, sugar bikkies and cups, and the napkin holder down the bottom RH corner, and the big drawer on the rear bulkhead for the Captains wallet, but which one is the light that goes PINNNGGGGG
