Ooops

Looks like Richmond

Scotty from Flight Ops.

Richmond, yesterday, according to the rumour mill.
|
I’d like to see the other side.
on edit...saw something on Sky News' website with vidoe. The story claims there is a damaged engine. No steering, no brakes? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1471cfdbd.jpeg |
1 new radome please
|
Is this on long term wet-lease, seeing as it is N registered, or is that because certifying locally would be expensive? I presume the winglets were added at the time of the tanker conversion.
|
Bet ya couldn’t hit the side of a hangar at 30 feet...
hold my beer.., but seriously, ...... |

Nah covid, runny nose, had to wipe it?
|
My wild guess: Parked with no chocks and no park brake set.
Add a breeze ... |

Was this an ex-South West a/c? I've seen photos of their -300's with winglets.

Simply flying has actual photos of the damage

A bane of Moderator’s lives is having to follow links, often to subscriber sites, which eat up unnecessary time. Your assistance to do this would make PPRuNers lives easier all round. Senior Pilot |

RVSM may need re-certifying!
Is there a difference between a Boeing radome and an Airbus radome? |

I’m sure the damaged paint work will buff out and all they need to do is throw on a serviceable radome. It’s a Boeing, not an Airbus. |
Why do Sky News etc employ people who think aircraft are kept in hangers ?
|
There's no shortage of posters on PPRuNe, many supposedly working in aviation, who believe that aircraft are kept in hangers
|
As long as the propellor doesn't hit the hanger door we'll all be OK. :}
|
Here is a Plane in a Hanger
|
With the new weird trend to call aeroplanes 'frames' is that where they get the idea from?
In relation to the photograph of the damage it seems to be stretching into the no skin patches allowed area around the pitot heads. I am not an engineer, perhaps somebody could explain the reason for that rule. NZ registered 737's have that area marked off with red angles. |
RAAF are going to need a new hangar door as well. Probably not going to be cheap either.

Frisbee, that's good. An instructor of one of my crusty old friends said "It's an aeroplane, laddie, planes shave wood".
Get back on thread, Bloggs! |

Sadly, how very very true. And remember, if you are battling with an Australian AOC, aircraft do NOT have to be Australian registered, as determined by court precedent. Bermuda, Aruba and Isle of Mann are favourite, but NZ can work out well under the TTMRA --- use an NZ AOC. Tootle pip!! |

In the case of this aircraft, I believe it’s slightly more complicated than just a rubber stamp. A while back there was some discussion in the Australian media about the fact that NSW purchased that aircraft for a dual role - air tanker and passenger carriage (mostly for fire crews and such) but no passengers were being allowed by the CAA. The CAA received unfair criticism in the media for it. Given that the FAA does not have a certification standard for converted air tankers that carry passengers, the only way the Australian CAA could issue such a certification would be to establish its own standards - for one aircraft. Who should foot the bill for that?

CASA isn’t ‘allowed’ to ‘absorb the costs’. CASA is legally obliged to recover them.
Refer any complaints on the issue to the Commonwealth Department of Finance. |
