New problem hits Qantas A380 engine

Air-safety inspectors are investigating oil problems with an engine on a Qantas A380 superjumbo after pilots decided to reduce its thrust to idle about two hours out of London.

Oops..........

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said an engineering inspection later found that an external oil line on the engine had not been correctly refitted after it had been removed for testing.

You'd have thought everyone would have been especially meticulous with those engines at the moment, checking everything again and again.

i wonder how long it had been improperly connected and so which country the check occurred in??

anyway, hopefully its a one off incident as i especially booked to fly on one of these in May...
