Typhoonz 4th Gear January 11, 2008 Share January 11, 2008 So another aircraft took over the flight? A380 or another aircraft type? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoonz 4th Gear January 11, 2008 Share January 11, 2008 For some or even most it's their first time on the A380 and this has to happen... It's gonna take more than free upgrades to pacify them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic January 11, 2008 Share January 11, 2008 i agree with the anti-"suay" bar. But anti-roll bar don't help lar cos the plance just simply roll backwards slowly into the soft ground. Also only the right BLG and MLG are in it. Maybe should have self activating brakes with ABS like those from Volvo. Nar......... I believe they purposely create this accident to buang suay...... (Chinese saying ~ "yi too kong too", take poison to fight poison). A small accident is better than a big accident...... or SIA is testing to see if the parts are covered with warranty like our cars, 100,000km or 3 years, whatever comes first...

Sosaria Turbocharged January 11, 2008 Share January 11, 2008 Anyway all the affected LGs were inspected. 8 wheels changed. Test flight soon. Should be back in service tonight SYD FLT SQ221. Wow, you seem to know a lot of details. Must be working inside? Anyway, accidental tow bar disconnection has happened a couple of times in the past. But aircraft recovery is an absolute headache. Need air bags, crane etc. Worse if the LG collapsed... They really defueled the plane? How many tankers did they need?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route88 2nd Gear January 11, 2008 Share January 11, 2008 Read the newspaper today, A truck which was towing the SIA A380 SQ221 broke down resulting the plane disconnecting from the truck and went onto the grass verge off the airport Tarmac. All 446 passengers were unhurt. Passengers had to disembark so that the plane could repositioned on the tarmac and checked for damaged. After disembarking, the passengers were taken in a bus back to T3. SIA made arrangements to enable "as many customers as possible" to continue their journey to Sydney. This newspaper report is posted in a tiny section, very easy to miss to some people... T3 juz open and the first A380 got into trouble... What you guys think?

Sirbrian Neutral Newbie January 11, 2008 Share January 11, 2008 Bridgestone Semi Slicks test flt to make sure LGs can be stowed safely in flt config.

Duke Neutral Newbie January 11, 2008 Share January 11, 2008 Sounds like the A380 is so heavy it cannot thrust itself back? I think planes has got no reverse gear? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirbrian Neutral Newbie January 12, 2008 Share January 12, 2008 haha not SIAEC. though they're in the sh*t now, they've to absorb the cost of recovery, and i believe commercial cost too. this's really an unexpected incident and hope nobody's rice bowl is lost all due to a simple hyd failure of the tug. Though there're still some human error/factor involved that may have added to the cause and prevention too. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
