First Choice 767 at Bristol
Anybody know any news or rumours about this?
A First Choice 767 is sitting on the apron at Bristol with the fuselage look as if it has been folded and buckled??? Hard Landing. It is buckled/folded from the top down to the passenger windows on both sides. G-OOBM???

Hell this is the third thread on this site that has references to the hard landing at BRS.
Any chance that the Mods will combine what has been said so far into one thread please?
Yet one more thread has been started.

Why are you shifting a weak spot? Why does there have to be any weak spot?
Plane gets damaged and fixed = plane just as strong as before damage.
Or are you suggesting this is an weak spot on all 767s?

its were a few B767s have suffered similar damage due to hard landings or rapid de-rotations.....so whilst no a weak spot it is probably the natural palce for the airframe to flex.....

I am not design engineer, so l am trying to use common sense hear.
You have a weak spots on any aircraft or structure.
Every structure that is built has design loads to be met and this is the same as an aircraft, as it is a structure.
If you exceed these design loads, damage will occur and this is normally at the weakest point, which l am calling a weak spot.
So what l am saying is that any repair is designed to leave the structure after repair, equal to or stronger than before it was repaired.
This you pointed out correctly and l agree with.
They try to spread any loads or stress as part of the repair process.
Aircraft that have structural repairs will normally have extra inspections to be carried out of the life of the aircraft on the repair or repair area.
These inspections will differ by intervals and inspection method, for instance using a detailed inspection or an NDT inspection.
The area that has buckled on this B767 and other B767s is around the same area, which is obviously the weakest point.

Just to cast some balance on this, while I have not seen the 'damage' it is worth pointing out that a brand new 737 will very quickly attain 'wrinkles' below and behind the wing from the 'firmer' landings, and even sooner if it goes base training
