Default FED-EX Engine damage on landing YSSY

Your correct Tim. I only noticed my photos when i got back from dinner. This is what caused the go around for the A380 and SIA Cargo. Two shots, one in crop of the engine.

The aircraft departed RWY34L tonight to Subic Bay as FX77A. She was towed from the bay after sunset so photos weren't good. I will post one of the engine which wasn't in such bad shape.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there any particular reason why the little door/hatch thingy is open near the "d" on the fuselage painted "Federal Express"?



Cheers

It is the outflow valve which controls the air leaving the aircraft when pressurised.

Isn't it country where the incident occured, country where the aircraft is registered, and country where the aircraft was made?

Thats what I have been lead to believe in the past.

thanks Nick wasn't sure.

my first thoughts were being an incident in australia i thought the atsb or even casa may get it.

pardon my ignorance. I thought that reverse is purely the air in the engine being pushed forward upon reverse to slow the aircraft down. And to prevent ingestion of FOD. So how could this happen. Could it be an airflow problem.

someone please explain?

Sorry if this sounds a bit over the top.
