Emirates flight makes emergency landing in Perth

[oz_mark]

A large contingent of fire trucks was called to the landing of an outbound Emirates plane which was forced to return to Perth International Airport today.

It is understood the Airbus A340 called an in-flight emergency to air traffic control about 30 minutes before the plane returned to the airport about 8.45am this morning.

Australian air safety investigators will examine whether radio transmissions from a naval base interfered with a Qantas Airways Ltd. jet's computers and caused the aircraft to nosedive last week.

Seems the base, operated by Boeing (coincidence - I think not), has a taste for Airbus'. I'm sure that in the wash it will come out the burning smell came from targeted VLF transmissions slowly cooking the A345.

Maybe Qantas looked after the aircraft whilst it was in Perth, on behalf of Emirates

Qantas provided catering and this was the cause of the burning smell. Clearly another example of how outsourced work is dangerous to all airlines

OK - now all electronic devices both on the ground and in the air should be banned to ensure safe air travel for all.

Given that no-one was injured, this is a "normal" occurrence in the airline business I am just trying to work out what will be reported next.

"Car fails to start in simongr's garage, mechanics called and replacement battery was installed. Early investigations point towards a door being left open overnight and the battery being 5 years old"

Sadly I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee - struggling to get approval for a new car due to babysimpending... SWMBO seems to think the small creature will need clothes and other associated paraphernalia...
