Quite a few ADs and SBs kicking around on the A320 family at the moment, particularly relating to the rear spar / undercarriage area / rib 5

I did my best to flatten out the touchdown zone on 27 at BRS, on my first arrival.
It has always amazed me that it is a Cat111b runway.
Landed there with 175 metres vis recently, was quite interesting.

Yes you are correct it is not 12 weeks old.
I did not say it was, only pointing out that the only a/c that we know of apart from the BMI A330 with a major problem at Man, is a TCX A320.

could'nt agree more.....on a 320 yesterday.....the arm rest kept collapsing. In the many years I have flown boeings the furniture was solid. Airbus is plastic, tubberware crap......the only saving grace on the airbus in the autobrake system.....does the business when required.
Boeing for me.

Don't suppose he's seen Flight International from a couple of weeks ago writing about the perfectly servicable 12 year old ex BA Boeing 777 being scrapped because it's worth more in parts than as a whole.

If, and I have no reason to doubt it, the damage and repairs mentioned by smudge are correct, how was the flight Bristol MAN authorised? The person who did the auth, and the crew who flew the aircraft, must have balls of steel. Obviously it was safe as they got it there in one piece.

Careful, sunshine. The BRS engs are some of the best I have had the pleasure to know. They can spell, as well.
