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.

Footage on CH9, looks as though it is a 737-800, and that the QF titels are in the new font... So does this mean that it is a recently delivered aircraft??
