Pilots flying a regional Qantas aircraft carrying 97 passengers were warned the plane was in danger of dropping from the sky during two bungled landing attempts.

Another QANTAS bash.

Press LIKE if you want this title changed to "COBHAM Pilots warned plane may fall from sky"

I HATE the news presented in Australia.

Quote: "

The plane was operated by Cobham Aviation Services but was flying under the banner of QantasLink."​

It may be a beatup but if QF are going to assign their brand to a 3rd party then they still have to be prepared to accept the rap if they stuff up.

Think Colgan Air > Continental in the US - driving for greater profits by utilising 3rd party providers with leaner organisations (and standards).

Indeed. If something were to happen to one of those aircraft, then it is the brand on the side of the plane that matters.

Qantas selected that supplier, so one would hope that Qantas would have considered that suppliers credentials.

.... it is the brand on the side of the plane that matters.

....

Fair enough, but does not change the fact that the headline is wrong.

The Captain was certainly experienced with 28,500 hours according to AV Herald

Report: Cobham B712 at Kalgoorlie on Oct 13th 2010, stick shaker on two approaches

......The Australian Transport Safety Bureau report found the drama resulted from the captain entering the wrong data on the plane's weight into the flight computers — an error unnoticed by the co-pilot.

The plane's landing weight was being calculated at 9.4 tonnes lighter than its actual weight......

Pilot error followed by copilot error ?
Many problems are a combination of faults that compound
