I see you are a new anonymous poster who offers us no details of your aviation background.

May I humbly suggest that the event you mention is not worth a thread but if you feel you must post just because you can, then it helps to read what you have posted as spelling errors do undermine the standing of any poster.

Well, by the time the aircraft reached Sydney, the tyres would have had plenty of time to cool down following the takeoff from London.

The tyres soon warmed up, it seems.

Google is your friend:

Qantas A380 in landing drama | Adelaide Now

Flames shooting out from underneath the aircraft, fault fuel gauges and a possible connection with the return to departure airport of a 747 last week...however, nice to see something positive:

"It seemed like a safe landing then we heard the tyres went down to the metal. It was a fairly undramatic landing and Qantas staff were brilliant and kept us informed," she said.
Good thing it was safe to land otherwise they'd still be circling the airport now

JF, there is (unfortunately) no prerequisite for posters on this forum to be able to spell. If there were, then there would be very few posts.

Being a good flier does not necessarily mean a good speller.

John Farley
I can see that this thread has annoyed the hell out of you.
Regarding my aviation back ground, I like to think I have been exposed to the industry for a very long time now as I don’t see any reason why I have to explain this with the rest of the world.

I didn’t feel that it was a MUST to post this but as I was watching t.v and reading on pprune I WANTED to share this information with people that would like to know what happens in the aviation world.

Finally regarding my few errors of spelling, if you were able to read and respond to this thread then I don’t think it was even worth mentioning.

Next time just keep you comments to yourself. People here are interested in reading about aviation not peoples worthless comments.

Quote from comments section of the relevant avherald.com. story ...

"Word is that the aircraft had breaking issues in Singapore, but the decision was made to depart to sydney anyway. Clearly the aircraft has issues when it landed in Sydney when the left handside wheels locked up, causing the tyres to blow and subsequently causing the flames and sparks."

John Farley's comments are never worthless as a quick search would reveal to you. He posts under his real name.

I happen to agree with him, it is not so much what you posted but the manner and illiteracy of the post that wrankles.

Er.....

fatih,

If you really did know anything about aviation, then you would know who Mr John Farley is. He, of anyone in the industry, understands what is a noteworthy drama and what does not require excitable jumping up and down over a non-event ably dealt with by the design of the aircraft and the actions of the trained professionals involved.

He also, of anyone in the industry, knows just how vital are clarity and exactitude of expression so as to avoid ambiguity or misunderstanding. No test pilot can afford to be unclear in how he or she conveys meaning in written reports.

It's a good discipline to work by, believe me. May I suggest you try a little harder and lose the chip on your shoulder before you barge in on a public forum and start maligning one of aviation's true leading lights simply because he points out the faults in your original post?

@ Underwriter

what is that all about ? there was a runway blocked, some a/c s needed to take off from a shorter one as they could not take enough fuel... well, nothing serious but if someone interested in aviation thinks this is worth a thread...well here we go, nothing against it as this is still an aviation forum. So please stop your " hero " attitude as it is more than boring nor has it anything to do with the aircraft. And if an older " hero " , my respect to you but you still do know nothing about the NSS, ANSU or FBW , thinks to fart against a newcomer like this than I still do wonder !
Keep on flying...

Cool Rumour Network

John Farley maybe 'politically' correct in his response to 'fatih's' post, however, this IS the 'RUMOUR NETWORK' not facts required to start a thread.

If one chooses to respond/reply to a post-starter then 'buyer beware' as it could be a journo 'fishing' etc., If one takes the 'bait' then what makes 'entertainment' on this site is for those 'in the know/experienced' to elucidate or not.

Whether the Professional Pilot community likes it or not, we have a partly fun/partly professional network online here each time someone posts to go from 'dismissing a myth' to 'educating a whole professional pilot' community. IMHO, I like a 'rumour' network for those very diverse replies/responses. Many 'supposed or real' incidents do not see the light of day were it not for a network such as this. Many 'rumours' end up in 'non-events' but some end up asking real questions to the PP community at large.

I certainly wouldn't want to stifle a good rumour to be investigated for facts based on spelling issues/cultural differences etc.,

Bring on the rumours....entertain us...lets get to the facts and see where we end up!

Best wishes to all!

I know you don't need me to defend you, but...


Can't spell - doesn't matter.

Won't read - doesn't matter.

Don't think - doesn't matter.

Want to be respected as a professional, though, just like a doctor.


Some chance!

capeverde2008,

I can't quite see how Mr Farley's response to the initial post can be described as " 'politically' correct". He seemed to me to be expressing an opinion, as everyone here is entitled to do.

Agree with you, though that this is, amongst other things, a rumour network. It's just more helpful if posters use a bit of commonsense or actual knowledge of aviation when reporting, and commenting on, those rumours.

Bidalot,

I have read your two posts so far on this thread and I am still none the wiser as to what meaning you wish to convey. Rather than casting aspersions as to others' sobriety, perhaps you might care to look at yourself.

by the way it was only tyre 5 and 6 deflated..no towing allowed thus they need to be replaced on the runway. Hope I did not make any spelling mistakes here !

I agree perhaps you should read Mr. Farley's other post he's not posting vacuously

to really benefit from pprune one should read more than write and when you read a lot then you can write sensibly,...there's incredible knowledge to be found here

further I think we have this section mainly to discuss safety and job issues related to current events in professional aviation,... reports like this require some backup. we can't just get bent out of shape for every little rustling of leaves in the wind,...when the stupid ill-informed media "reports aviation"
