Emirates 413 Engine Failure

Sounds good. I would like to have the opportunity to capture an EK Cargo B744. Please keep us all updated if it does happen. Crossing my fingers it won't happen over the weekdays, but it would most likely be. The weekend is too far away for EK to wait on.

With regards to EK419 B77W yesterday - I was at the airport yesterday and did not witness any go-around. EK419 arrives at about 17.30-18.00, right? If so, she did overfly the airport quite low (about 5000ft or so). At the time, we had a runway change, which may give the impression of a go-around, perhaps?

Just to clarify, was EK419 operated by A6-ECP?

Regards,
Hendra

The diameter of the GP7270 engine is 124in, and the main front door of the Boeing 777 Freighter is 124in high in the centre of the door (but only 120in on the left and right side). Throw in the transportation pallet and there is no way it will fit.

Pretty sure it did a go around
