Long time reader first time poster! OEJ was going to operate the delayed QF012 but an aircraft change took place overnight as it has to wait for parts. Last I saw it was scheduled to operate QF012 on Tuesday night ex LAX - obviously providing it's serviceable.

You are right Monty - I didn't expect anything different from News Ltd but interestingly most of the comments are having a go at the way the story was written. The media make a huge story out of nothing, and all it does is scare some passengers who don't travel regularly.

Hey everyone its good to be back on the forum after not knowing this one was around since vpmag.com
I thought it was very sad to see Wunala Dreaming sitting on the taxiway at LAX with all the cars around it. Im not 100% sure but i was told the nose gear was off the ground as the flight crew saw the warning light on and as they lowered the aircraft onto the runway, thats when the wheels busted. Tim |

I was just browsing Sydney Airport website and UA839 was cancelled today also from LAX. Would it have anything to do with the Qantas 12 flight? According to Sydneyairport.com QF12 is due to arrive tonight at 10:11pm so obviously has left LAX.
QF12 Los Angeles 26/03/2008 26/03/2008 07:00am 10:11pm UA839 Flt Cancelled 26/03/2008 26/03/2008 07:05am 07:05am Tim |

Most airlines also normally have a further, lower speed (80 or 100kts commonly used) - any issue below that speed results in an abort while anything between that speed & V1 only results in an abort if it is a critical issue, due to the possible aircraft damage & higher risks a high speed rejection carry. |

From what I read this morning (Fairfax papers only, refused to look at the news ltd stuff in relation to this...) it seems that everything that was meant to do something did it on this occasion. The tyres that were meant to burst did, the pilot stopped the aircraft safetly, that cabin crew kept every one calm and the pax seemed to stay calm and in control of them sleves through out the event.
Does anyone know what warning light went off to cause this? Cheers M |
