QF32 A380 Blows Tyres On Landing
This incident did make it on to BBC Breakfast TV this morning (1st April). There was mobile phone(?) video footage from inside of the cabin abreast the port wing - also interestingly, similarly from a camera apparently mounted on the tail fin - or is that an additional cheaper class on the A380?
1. It was originally posted in R&N
2. JF inquired about credentials and some text type [many non native English speakers write and spell better actually]
3.moved to spotters; so it can be discussed at the correct level
what happens? theycontinue talking about the retired TP instead of brakes and tires like they'd originally wanted

The camera in the tail does feed into the flight deck as well as another view under the main undercarriage i think to assist the fd with taxiing. Its a lot of fun to watch what is going on from that birds eye view. Hope there is no smelling misteaks in my repleye

A380 Tail Camera
As a previous Qantas A380 passenger on LAX/SYD leg in May 2009, I can confirm that the Qantas in flight entertainment system gives all passengers the choice of watching the Tail Camera view of the aircraft at Take Off and Landing (can't recall if the view is available during flight too...too busy enjoying Qantas in-flight catering by then!). You simply press the remote to choose the outside camera view. So, 'no', all the passengers don't sit there (with full view off anything nasty that may occur)...only the ones that have chosen to program the system to show the view.
As a passenger, I can say that it was fantastic to to be able to see a full view of the aircraft taxi at LAX at night with all the airport and runway lights, other aircraft etc, and the take off was a real thrill watching the massive A380 go down the runway and lift off. Of course, the view goes pretty dark as soon as she heads out to the Pacific..that's the point when you check out the beverage menu and start planning your 14 hour journey to Sydney!
For those of you in Europe who haven't had the opportunity to fly it, the plane itself is beautiful inside and we had great service form the Q staff on board. We flew 'Business' on a Qantas 747 SYD/LAX and 'Economy' on the A380 back to Oz. Well, ok, Economy on the A380 doesn't beat Business on the 747 upper deck, but it was pretty good and pretty comfortable too (and I'm talking 14 hours).
Yes, we're Brits who live in Australia...what was that comment by the previous post about Australians with a chip on their shoulder..you've noticed that then? They're ok really...you just get that way when you wake up almost every morning of the year to the sun shining, the fresh breeze blowing and Qantas ready to fly you on their A380's to Europe or the States...you just feel 'lucky' I guess..a 'chip' forms without you even noticing!
As for any thoughts that the camera view could be an issue for anyone viewing under mishap scenarios....who cares, the view and experience is brilliant.
A quick question for any pilot that may have time to answer:
I have always found it incredible that modern large passenger aircraft are not fitted with small cameras (such as the current A380 tail-view camera) to aid the pilots in situations in-flight such as aircraft damage, flap problems etc. Very often the investigation following air crashes will refer to the fact that the pilots were unable to SEE the problem (on the aircraft tail or fuselage etc) which prevented them taking steps that possibly could have saved the aircraft. Surely a few small cameras placed on wings with views of the fuselage and tail etc would and could be very useful to the pilots when unexplained instrument readings or other in-flight challenges occur? Would the ability to look at the main outer areas of the aircraft on-screen be of assistance to the pilots at such times?

A380 landing incident
Noticed today (Good Friday) that the ABC radio news is still saying the A380 blew 2 Nose Gear tyres on landing, even after many TV reports clearly showed the problem was with the LH MLG.

The post By Fatih
I have no idea who John Farley is but clearly he is seen as some kind of aviation prophet or member of royalty.
Some poor individual attempted to get a message out quickly and has been admonished by JF. I believe unnecessary and quite rude but then I'm sure Fatih we have all had to deal with such people in our lives. Please keep posting and you don't need to be the editor of the Times to do so effectively. Incidentally, my aviation credentials are limited but my credentials as a decent human being are impeccable.
Regards

A lot of Hoo-Haa over nothing...the aircraft operated the return leg to SIN today...no damage.
A while ago I saw a B747-200 burst a tire on take off...it ripped a mini-trench on the runway all the way to the point of rotation and there were bits and pieces everywhere....it didnt get a mention on the news.

Let's bring some sanity back into this forum.....
One question nobody has asked yet
is were the tyres that burst Hardie Retreads or brand new Hankook's with the raised writing on the outside

Think a moment about it... if the scenario was as described, with flames and sparks, those two tyres weren't just deflated, they were ripped apart and the a/c must have rolled some distance "on the rims".
Dragging those sorry remains along the runway during a tow would leave a nasty groove in the runway, not to mention the risk of doing further damage to the MLG itself.
Hope you enjoyed the thread... I did!

Quality of posts
This particular thread has descended into a "mud slinging match", it seems to me. Mr John Farley is seen as some sort of "Aviation God" and is being defended by "Superior beings", mostly from the Old Dart. Being a mere mortal from the colonies I find it amusing that more emphasis has been put on pointing out spelling errors and such than on giving informative comment. I am with Shadem 100% on this one, JF's admonishment was rude and whilst it may not be offensive to Heathrow Director it is seen as offensive and uncalled for to some, including the original poster Fatih.

What total nonsense. John's reply was factual and not in the least bit offensive.

I don't think so.
It contained nothing more than -
1. The sarcastic put-down of a newbie - enough to earn most a holiday under the ROE.
2. A spelling flame - the lamest form of forum riposte.
3. The opinion that "the event you mention is not worth a thread". An opinion that was, as is now abundantly clear, mistaken.
