Delayed QF A380 delivery - and great reporting!
Today's Sydney Morning Herald's Business Day section has a short piece on the delayed delivery of two more A380s to QF due to a problem with one of the aircraft:
The problem relates to the "flight trim", which involves the aircraft's ability to keep its centre of gravity while in the air. |
Four I think.
|
I believe there is a real problem with this. They are running out of ideas to fix it and are tossing up if they will except delivery or not.
|
Nothing a Smart Frenchman cannot fix !!!!!! Oh well , back to the Citroen ....Sacre Blu......
|
LOL!
I owned a Peugeot once and within a year of manufacture the electronics were going haywire (immobiliser and ABS) and shortly after that bits kept falling off it!! |
NAMPS, I have a 207GT - and its full of personality, beeping and clacking away like R2D2 - who knows what its trying to say - I figure its like a canary - probably means it's happy??
|
Thats why it's called the Sarah Jessica Parker.
High Maintenance and f@cking ugly. |
max1, my belly hurts, thankyou. :ok:
|
How come this trim problem would only be cropping up now rather than with the early builds?
If Qantas doesn't accept delivery of these where does that leave the A380 aquisition? |
Posted by mcgrath50 How come this trim problem would only be cropping up now rather than with the early builds? Aircraft from MSN26 on are classified as "Wave 2", in that the production process is more standardised in comparison to the earlier aircraft which had to be partially re-manufactured due to earlier production problems. |
Just what we need , a "Second Wave" of Sarah Jessica Parkers' , I cant wait......

Anyone remember the early 747 nacelle "yolking" problems, just in case we were contemplating a Boeing v. Airbus stoush? |

Wave 2
As G.B alludes this aircraft is wave 2 production and part of the changes revolve around wiring and computer networking changes.
Apparently there are some software issues regarding the networking changes that are proving troublesome, or so I'm reliably told.:ok: |
