Complex Three-Engine Ferry For A380
Air France plans to ferry a damaged A380 back to France from Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador on three engines but before it can do that it has to install a new engine that won't be running. The wrecked engine will be removed and sent to Wales for inspection by the manufacturer Engine Alliance. For balance and aerodynamic stability a new engine will be installed but because of the other damage it can’t be hooked up and made operable. (www.avweb.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
OK confirmed
Very interesting. I hope someone posts a track map when this ferry occurs.
Makes you wonder since it is certified and will fly at full gross Take Off with a failure at V1 and could theoretically fly for hours to destination. Must have something to do with the damage sustained.
"stranding 521 passengers and crew for 12 hours until two aircraft could be dispatched"
If other aircraft were en route, then they weren't "stranded," they were just waiting.
I really wish these "journalists" would take a journalism class...

strand (verb): to leave (someone) without the means to move from somewhere.
therefore, the passengers were stranded until such time as the other planes arrived.
btw, this is not a matter for journalism, it's high school english...

You expect a Journalist to report accurately.... Where ave you been.. I mean really, anyone who listens to them the worst of everything is going to happen...You are going to crash if you first don't get shot or stabbed and the list goes on.... Like Mike Huckabee said during last years election... "If Trump walked on water, the media would say Trump can't swim". I remember an aircraft had an oil pressure indication issue and diverted... Media reported the a/c had an engine failure and was interview people asking them about how scared they were of crashing.... LOL, I was one of the passengers.... When they asked me the question I told them "No, it was an oil indication issue with a precautionary shut down and there was no danger"... For some reason, my response did not make the news that night... Stupid journalist.. can't stand any of them.
Few weeks ago after Hurricane Irma we had some CNN reporters near us (near Orlando). They wanted us to pose near a down tree and "look sad"...we never lost power or internet in the "storm"....
Perfect example of making your own news... Even if it isn't news! that is why they are called "Fake News"... I am sure someone posed for them... and it seems that the people they do get never know how to shut up! or even know what they are talking about!
