BA 747 hi-speed aborted Take Off LAX
 

BA282 22 APR LAX-LHR aborted approximately 30 seconds into the take off roll apparently due to "wheel problems"
Four hours later, a mechanic who happened to be onboard as a pax, seems to have rectified the problem and the 747 took off again.

Anyone having details??

Nothing showing on BA arrivals for today or yesterday which were/is showing ahead of schedule.
When was this alleged incident?

Hope the mechanic managed to spend the rest of the trip sprawled out in first class for his efforts!

It had a main gear steering unlocked message. The offending steering actuator was locked out. The local BA engineers were having problems identifying which actuator was at fault and were helped by a pax who works the aircraft for BA at T5 LHR.

Hi

British Airways B744 at Los Angeles on Apr 22nd

A British Airways Boeing 747-400, registration G-CIVA performing flight BA-282 from Los Angeles,CA (USA) to London Heathrow,EN (UK)


Incident: British Airways B744 at Los Angeles on Apr 22nd 2011, rejected takeoff

What happened to the "hi-speed aborted Take Off LAX"?? 40kts?

On the subject of RTOs and assuming that the reason for the abort turns out to be spurious is there a speed above which the a/c has to be taken in for maintenance versus being allowed to immediately head out for another take-off?

brake cooling
 

Brake cooling times must be observed. This time varies with A/C weight & speed at time of reject.
