The tyre would have seen the look in his eye and repaired itself.

Anyway there were "works" around Coolangatta Airport, especially near where the QF/JQ aircraft stand. Looked like the usual area where the aircraft stand in front of Gates 1/2/3 was closed off for construction or something, we had to walk probably 2-3minutes airside to reach the aircraft. Guess it probably was a nail then! |

20 min turn around, surely they could have done a tyre change within that, myself and 2 other engineers manage to change a 717 tyre the other day in 25 mins, and that was from getting the gear in the hangar, inflating the tyre, jack, change, de jack, paperwork done all in 25mins. (It was pretty good considering the distance from the hangar to the ramp.)

A cynical person might conclude that only one of the two teams WANTED to change the wheel quickly.

You think that would've been the supposed 40 minute crew - we were the ones pushing curfew.

Well, 5 mins before dep the captain decided he didnt want to take the aeroplane..... So we had to make it quick, normally it takes 1 guy a hour to change the tyre.

The nail could have been identified at boarding which would have made it impossible to change the tyre and make curfew. You need to consider these factors Brendan Last edited by Chris Tully; 6th June 2008 at 01:37 PM. |
