Melbourne - It's not just EK
 

Air Accidents Investigation: Boeing 767-39H, G-OOAN

Was pointed to this by a friend who found it.

Your incident was at Manchester, UK. A long way from Melbourne. Having said that EK were not the first airline to drag the tail.

I know what you meant, Helen.

Btw there had already been cases of ZFW entered into the calculator instead of TOW at EK too. But not an a ULR flight.

Or this
