Dreamliner rattled landing at Cairns
Rumour that a Jetstar 787 Dreamliner in Cairns has endured major cracks In windows and wings after a heavy landing. More to come.....
via twitter @StevePurvinas |
Doesn't appear to have made any of the mainstream media.
|
I know this is a new fangled composite airframe but a heavy landing cracking windows and wings????????? If it was that heavy it wouldn't have left the runway without a truck....:D
|
Seems to be fit to fly
|
Nice video taken on the 14th NOV 2013 and not relevant to the current subject about the 787 parked in Cairns during JAN 2014.:ugh:
|
Rumour has it that it have a heavy landing but is now Ok. Insufficient staff or similar to start ops over the new year.
|
Easy fix those cracks, stop drill them, & ya good to go:ok:
Wmk2 |
Anyone know the rego of the aircraft that was in Cns? Wondering when it flew in and how long before it flew again.
VKA is the one that has been flying to DPS VKB has its first commercial flt tomorrow VKD was delivered 10 Jan, not sure where it is. |

pieces of the puzzle
from mgmt on the 10th Dreamliner number three on its way This weekend we welcome our third Boeing 787 Dreamliner into Australia. Our first 787 has been operating from Melbourne to Bali over the festive season, allowing thousands of Jetstar customers to experience this game-changing new aircraft. Next week we will commence 787 services from Sydney to Bali with our second 787, which has been undergoing its AOC validation activities since arriving in Australia. Our third 787 will commence Phuket services at the start of February. VH-VKB ? 31-Dec-2013 ? YMML / MEL - YBCS / CNS ? FlightAware vkd appears to be in cns History ? VH-VKD ? FlightAware |
Lucky they have that hangar in Melbourne for all that non core maintenance work.
Heavy landings perhaps. RAT infestations. AS Bill says, "its all happening out there." |
Just fishing through the aforementioned http://thejetstarsource.com indicates that the same 787 has operated MEL-DPS everyday since 18 Dec. Not bad intro to service for a new and very different type.

Who does Steve Purvinas work for? Air Asia?? :suspect: Besides, a few dabs of epoxy works wonders on this new-fangled composite stuff, don'cha know?? :suspect:
Would this be the same bloke, who was reportedly urging people to avoid making Christmas holiday bookings on Qantas?? :suspect: |
SP and his world view are part of the problem. Union thugery old style is alive and well and will be the end of QF in its present form.
Viva la old days huh!!!!! |
Rather than personal attacks on Steve wouldn't it be better to try and find out if the rumour about a hard landing on the 787 is fact or fiction.

"Rather than personal attacks on Steve wouldn't it be better to try and find out if the rumour about a hard landing on the 787 is fact or fiction."
and "via twitter @StevePurvinas" Dont you mean wouldn't it be better if Steve found out the facts before tweeting it? |
Someone had better tell Southwest Air that they are doing it wrong.
You'd think that a guy who had been at Ansett, Qatar and Korean would have learned by now not to be a management stooge. |
Another empty Jetstar flight! Amazing Business!:D
|
Don't those new-fangled plastic thingees land themselves? :uhoh:
|
. . . is still sitting there!
|
Maybe some of the more negative speculators could just do everyone a favour, and read the local rag?? :rolleyes:
Jetstar Dreamliner parked at Cairns Airport for several weeks as it undergoes certification | Business News | Business and Finance News | | Cairns Post |
You are probably 100% correct but doesn't Murdoch own The Cairns Post?
I would not believe a word said in any of his papers unless verified by another source. Did they get this info from "phone tapping"? |
Qantas has told me that there was no 787 heavy landing in Cairns. There is a slight chance it may be true.
|
I dont know the process, but why Cairns for certification/validation of a delivered ac?
Kinda out of the way up there. |
Kinda out of the way up there.
Exactly.....out of sight out of mind. The last thing AJ and his cohorts will want is too many of those pesky journos from down south taking an interest in yet another parked jet := |
It's parked in cairns because jetstar didn't have their shiz in a pile and don't have the staff/paperwork organised to certify it.
|
I just can't see why a new (not first of type) has to spend so long being "certified". Same story with VKB... I thought that the paperwork would've been completed prior to the aircraft arriving here. Unless I'm missing something, other new aircraft don't seem to be parked long before thrown out onto the line?
|
VKB was in Bali yesterday. This photo was taken at about 5pm local. Strange to see a widebody Jetstar aircraft at this time in Bali (unless there's been a change in their schedule).

Probably just delayed.
|
I heard heavy landing too from engineer up there. (Non JQ ENG)
Can it be that hard to find out? Wouldn't it be reportable to ATSB? Surely someone knows an engineer with jetstar who knows an engineer who knows an engineer who knows the Townsville refueller? |
Like your work, blueloo!
|
The rumour of a heavy landing is false. The certification process is taking a long time, but they need to check all the serial numbers etc and CASA take there time over these sorts of things.
There is talk however, of crew shortages, which is plausible. Does anyone know how to fix a transponder in Bali though?? ;) P.s. looks like someone worked it out, and it came back as JQ1038 last night. |

I remember an A320 south of Cairns that had an IRS hiccup (similar to QF's A330 event according to the crew) and ended up descending around 1'000' uncommanded, about 3 years ago. Did the report ever see the light of day? Nope. |

95% of Qantas reports are scrapped before they get to CASA.
I've spoken about the 747 ex HAECO which had 4 engines bolted on incorrectly. Never reported via the mandatory SDR program even tough we have the form 500s which were submitted by the LAMEs. When we raised it with CASA they covered for them by saying it was ok because Qantas called them about it. |
ASIR's are classified reportable or not reportable as defined Flight Admin. Manual. They are not"scrapped".:=
|
OneDotLow is the only person in this thread who knows what's going on.
I don't know who started the heavy landing rumour but they must be laughing at how well it propagated, considering there is not a shred of truth to it. |
it was a throwaway 1 liner post (#300) from the jetstar 787 thread
|
Who looks after the JQ 787s now? Is it the skeleton crew left at JHAS, or is it Korr? Either way - seems somewhat strange to have the aircraft in Cairns and the hangars (and most of the engineers?) in Melbourne...
|
Mebee it's got a melted battery box & they're waiting on spares? :E
