Looks like the classic T700 inlet cowl failure.

Signed out "visual inspection carried out after 'percussion noise' heard, high speed tape applied, unable to fault on ground, not in KA colours, no time to fix, byte test carried out, test ok, please report further."

Yes, the TPE and Japan stations were tradinionally very good. I still get to both fairly regularly. Japan seems to be still holding up as a fixit place. TPE is still pretty good, but both come under immense pressure to make OTP.

Well Seldomfix (an appropriate name for the thread), we have lost NRT and FUK, and a lot of our TPEs are being done by CX on KA call signs, but we turn a blind eye to that for some reason. We are getting rid of 330s while someone else is doing our flying? Im sure if the opposite were true, there would be serious ****e I would imagine.
How many engine failures do you need to have in a year before CAD questions your ETOPS Qual? (A genuine question, does anyone know?)

So jon, if the aircraft is etops certified, but not on an etops flight plan when it has the failure it doesn't effect etops qual?

Thanks spanners, I thought so...
GF in Akoma, I forgot to add BKK, and the Australian expansion plans, (yes, we did purchase 3 330s to do it, but CX vetoed the move), Manchester, Dubai, ie the entire freighter network. Yep, Hanoi and manilla, what a trade off.... As the now ex CEO 'Who killed Kenny' would say, "another exciting month for Dragonair!"

Jolly good show chaps
A very well handled rejected taxi, and back at the Raddison in time for tea and medals.
Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!
Definite CX material, maaaaaaaaaaaaah ( General Melchett )

Don't forget FUK...now flown by KA and all the frequencies and destinations added after CX started to feed more traffic to them.
Hanoi however is not somewhere ever flown by CX passenger planes so that doesn't count. it has only ever been a code share with Vietnam Airlines...unless you count the prop 'good old' days.
