Air Canada on Fire after Sydney Departure
Reports from ABC 24 , Air Canada has an uncontained Galley fire after departure from Sydney ,currently dumping fuel.
|
I doubt it would be dumping fuel if the fire was still uncontained. Immediate landing would be the go.
|
Just watching it return on flightradar24.
On the ground Scary thought. Best wishes Airline: Air Canada Flight: AC34 From: Sydney, Kingsford Smith (SYD) Via: Vancouver, Vancouver (YVR) To: Toronto, Pearson (YYZ) Aircraft: Boeing 777-233LR (B772) Reg: C-FIUA Hex: C01729 Altitude: 225 ft (69 m) |

So the drama is somewhere between "plane on fire" and "toast is burnt.":rolleyes:
|
I'm happy with burnt toast.
|
Faulty Oven I hear...
|
'heard that the inbound crew that morning had a big "cook up" before arrival in SYD.
Croisants etc and left them wrapped up in paper towels in ovens !:eek: New crew came on -didn't check ovens. Turned them on to 250^ to heat ovens before loading meals. BINGO !!!! Wonder how much that exercise in slackness cost them. We would never to that on QF.........;) |
The Ovens are normally cleaned out ( and I don't mean they eat all the left overs ) by the Caterers before they re load them..
So I find the above post unlikely in the extreme. |
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman said that the organisation would not be investigating the incident as it had taken place outside Australian airspace |
Oh really-330
So I find the above post unlikely in the extreme. mmmmmm.....another one for your REASON MODEL discussion at Human Factors. |
speculation but...
If it was an oven fire, what happened to the security checks by the oncoming cabin crew?
|
I seem to recall that an Ozjet CM (from Perth) put the paperwork in the oven just as the passengers arrived to board :}
Anyway, an interesting exercise an it happens frequently. Just as a scenario to consider: What do you do if the Purser/FM/Cm calls after take-off and says : "Captain, I have smoke in the galley"? Do you do an immediate return to land? Sit on you hands? What? This can be a subtle an complex issue. Consider (stories from real life): After TO at about FL200, an interphone call to the FD with CM saying "Captain, I can smell smoke in the FWD galley".
Is it visible yet? Is the smoke acrid? Can the PAX smell it? Is the smoke irritating to eyes/nose/throat? Answer to all of these is "No". CM again suggests on a return to land. FO agrees that crew need more information. Tricky one. What should they do??? :sad: TBC.. |
Oh really? Which FIR do they think it was in then? |
