PHOTOS: United 767 Loses Underside Panel Mid-Flight
On Thursday, August 26, 2022, a United Airlines Boeing 767-400 performing flight UA 23 to Dublin (DUB) lost one of its main underside panels during its departure from Newark (EWR). After hearing the loud bang - the sound of the panel flying off the aircraft - the pilots decided to continue to Dublin, where the flight made a safe but late landing. Upon a closer look at the damage, it was found that the right underside panel next to the landing gear was the source of the commotion. (aeroxplorer.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think that IF I had been the PIC on that flight Deck? I would have made a fast return back to EWR? but I guess that the crew made the choice to continue and it all ended well and safely. Wonder where that panel landed?
It’s Newark. Finding that panel will be like finding a needle in a haystack
He still should have returned! that was damage to the Aircraft... They heard the noise and should have played it safe... I work in maintenance. Crew made a bad error and was flying over water... Suppose things turned much worse 1/2 way enroute!
A homeless person is probably using it for a roof in his new man-cave.
Another report at https://avherald.com/h?article=4fd84d2d&opt=0 states that “…..climbing through 16,000 feet…the crew heard a Los bang. In the absence of any abnormal indication the crew continued the flight and landed safely on Dublin’s runway 28L about 5:40 hours later.”
Track from Newark to Dublin heads northeast along the coast before heading out over the ocean from Nova Scotia or Newfoundland. Plenty of suitable diversion airports along that course available if things had deteriorated.

It would serve you well to think things over before posting.
Idiot. (You, not the captain)
