Recommended Posts

A Korean Air Airbus A380-800, registration HL7611 performing flight KE-701 from Seoul (South Korea) to Tokyo Narita (Japan) with 168 people on board, landed on Tokyo's runway 34L at a right bank angle sufficient to have the outboard right engine's pod contact the runway surface. The airplane rolled out safely at around 11:20L (02:20Z) and taxied to the apron.

 

The airport reported the runway was closed for about 20 minutes for a runway inspection which revealed scratch marks on the runway surface.

 

Following checks the aircraft was able to perform its return flight KE-702 normally reaching Seoul with a delay of one hour.

KE is deploying the A380 on the NRT route for familiarization flights.

Sometime, getting in and out of NRT could be very demanding and history said it all ......

 

The magic word is "GO-AROUND" ................. :ph34r:

 

God's error is more appropriate ....... :rolleyes:

poor big blue bird. the route is too short for an A380. :mellow:

You reckon that might have contributed towards the engine pod strike incident ?

When SQ first started operating the A380, the pilot familiarisation phase included flights to JHB and KUL. So this route by KE is considered to be reasonably long for pilot familiarisation.

SIA's A380 deployment to Johor Bahru Senai Airport was strictly for crew training involving many touch and gos, landings etc.

 

The deployment to Kuala Lumpur was similarly for a combination of crew training, familiarisation and also to ensure KLIA is a suitable alternative airport.

 

Both deployments do not carry commercial passengers, unlike the KE aircraft which are carrying passengers.

 

SIA's actual first commercial flight was SQ380 on 25 October 2007 from Singapore to Sydney and back the next day.
