Title: United Airlines 870 tailstrike with pictures
Post by: Cap747 on May 07, 2010, 03:58:16 PM

This report is from AVHerald again, they are pretty fast gathering news here.... :mrgreen:

I have cutout some communications concerning the delay caused by the tailstrike.
Before the 747 landed again there was a helicopter hovering near an Airbus, but was not allowed to fly overhead ect.

Noticable is the Etihad 451 remark saying:
"We heard 10 minutes. We gonna shut two engines down, we need 5 minutes warning for restart it if you're happy with it."

The AVHerald story say's they returned after 80 minutes of fuel dumping, the airplane now will be inspected, see if it can do a ferry flight( maintenance flight without pax) to a place it can be repaired.. have quickly searched for the landing audio, but could not find it yet...

The crew themselves after hearing they had a tailstrike having looked at eachother than boooo (or the more common words f**k) and have to file a report and certainly be questioned by the Australian investigation board.

[edit] here are some pictures of the strike:
