Yep, turns out it was actually a part of the aircraft just normally not seen! I'd love to have seen the look on the face of the guy who went in to identify it :E

Shear wild guess here that it may have been an emergency battery pack that had become visible behind some lining.:uhoh:

I guess none of the Tech Crew were able to identify the offending item?

I know If I had a potential device in m plane I wouldn't be going back to check it and thats in line with the company's Procedures... So I would assume that they would be similar, so how could they possibly identify it.:ugh:

Sensible procedure. The fact that something looked like "part of the aircraft" is irrelevent otherwise something could be sneaked on board by camouflaging it with a Boeing part number and identification plate.

Just about every one has one, BUT, not a recommended procedure.

I thought QF142 was Jet Connect not Qantas.

Still better to go back I think.

All the tech Crew need to know is what to do if a light in the flight deck is "on" or "off" and what to do if a light is "on" or "off".

Obviously it did not have a flight deck light attached so no procedure would appear in the QRH..

So it was a Qantas aircraft then. No difference from what I can tell.

It all goes back to dumbing down the knowledge of our airframe, pilot requirements. If the ground school was anything like the "old days", this would have been quickly trouble shot and ended in a minor sector comment...peanuts and....etc?.

You are correct.

It IS a QANTAS group aircraft. Sporting a New Zealand Flag and New Zealand registration.

Operated by JETCONNECT Crew.

So it is a QANTAS group aircraft, but it is not QANTAS.

But you already knew that.

Didn't you.

Are you saying that Jetconnect pilots are inferior, and if this was a mainline crew, they would've know what it was?
