Emirates 407 air return into Melbourne
 
Currently dumping fuel to the south of the airport.... Anyone know what the cause was??

Not sure but interested
 
Not sure of the cause but heard on liveatc.net that they couldn't fly above 15000ft.
I also heard they would be dumping fuel for 40 minutes and that was at about 12:20am local time

Aircraft was in a holding pattern over Western Vic for quite some time before dumping fuel over Port Phillip Bay.

Was in the air for almost 3 hours, mostly at 14000ft.

Well I can tell you it was a main gear door sensor that "dislodged" and the crew had a gear door open indication...rtn to Melb.
This A388 is also a near new one apparently the boys were saying....

From a mate of mine who landed in Melboure after them....

Get Matty Hall up in an Extra to check out the gear door: still up? press on!

Don't those things have video cameras underneath? Put a GoPro on every wingtip, I say.

Wouldn't happen on a 737...

EK A380 diversion to Singapore
 
An EK A380 last week had an IFSD due to oil loss and diverted to SIN for IDG change. Apologies if already reported, but I didnt see it on prune last week.
I believe it was on a SYD-DXB sector, i can get more details if reqd.
Cheers !
