Likewise...the incident in Jeddah some weeks ago when they asked for permission to fly to Lagos with un-serviceable engine.
They ain't nothin if not exciting! |
Exculsive Mandate,
Whats wrong with doing a 3 engine ferry in a B747? Mutt. |
Mutt- I believe he is refereing to the African based 747 that came in with one engine strapped up with heavy FOD damage. During an inspection by tipped off airport authorities 2 of the other engines were also found to have FOD damage among other problems(memory is fading). I have pictures somewhere. But that was at least a year ago not weeks. :)
Knowing 747 Low Speed performance .... I think if you "lost" the right hand flaps at an altitude low enough to be hitting trees, the ensueing asymetry would cause the airplane to crab and probably roll uncontrollably. I will give it a run in the sim and see what its like. |
