34R Not Available - QF Blows tyres
ATIS ATIS YSSY F 131036
APCH: EXP VISUAL APCH RWY: 34L + OPR INFO: RWY 34R NOT AVBL DUE DISABLED ACFT CONTACT 127.6 FOR START CLEARANCE WND: 290/8 VIS: 10KM CLD: FEW 2500 FEW 3500 + TMP: 16 QNH: 1023 Apparently due to plugs blown after an RTO on a QF 737. Anyone know if the RTO was anything other than something minor? |
An RTO that leaves a disabled a/c blocking RWY 34R for a prolonged period doesn't sound minor to me. If fuse plugs melted from heavy braking heat, would the deflated tyres prevent the a/c from being towed? As I understand it the normal hold off period is only 5 to 10 mins before passsengers can be evacuated, but 34R was unavailable for the best part of 45 minutes.
It will be interesting to read the ATSB report. |
This might be to the fact that QF 883 SYdney - Canberra blew 2 tyres on take off this evening - just heard on 2ue 11pm news. No one injured. Now in the hands of air safety transport beaurau.
