Quantas flight declares mayday
Lands in single engine. News people made it sound worse than it was. 737s can fly on one. Interested in seeing what cause the loss of engine. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Yes, the news dud make a big deal out of what turned out to be a non-event, but those of you criticizing the flight crew were not there, in the Captains seat.
How hard it is to spell the name of any business correctly.
Everyone has a smartphone in their pocket, and most continue to be stupid; it is worse when it is published.
QANTAS; Queensland and Northern Territory Air System.
I don't know who Quantas is. (even my spell checker picks that variation of the name up as being misspelt)

Your right that it is Qantas (without the U). However, they were originally Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited.
Another Over Exaggerating flight crew...
I am surprised that a Mayday was issued based on something that happens frequently throughout the world. Take a look at the website Aviation Herald and it seems almost every day somewhere in the world a twin engine airborne plane loses an engine. No big deal.
Yes and sometimes they indicate the pilot declared an emergency, and sometimes they don’t. The airport will treat thus as an Alert Two, so while it may not be the drama of a bad movie, it is still a non-normal event. More than once I’ve been on a flight when we had 1 engine out, with 7 still running and declared an emergency.
“Seven still running”? What kind of airplane is it, Todd?
I was a navigator in B-52s.
