Full emergency at Gatwick, 23 August 2008

[NWT]

If you land over the maximum landing weight there is a standard "overweight landing inspection" required, which might take a couple of man hours of engineering time.

I would like to think it would take more than 2 hours for the basic overweight inspection if it is done properly..........

and it did land overweight.

Heavy not hard, or was it the other way round, uhhhh.

Heard the engine was on watch before the failure. We seem to have a few insiders on this panel; what was the cause of the failure?

You mean "on watch" like "condition monitored", as every engine is?
