what happened to that pan pan call last night?

[Guest WillMikoyan]

What happened to that aircraft that called Pan Pan last night, when I left it was Bae 146 NJE and i was just wondering what happened to it. there was nothing on the news this moring so i assume it wasn't too serious.

The ole fumes in the cockpit that's no problem according to CASA and the manufacturer.

Seems to have been sorted - at least according to pprune for what that's worth

 

Earlier this morning a National Jet 146 was 40miles out of Ravensthorpe airport in the south west of WA when a fire broke out in the cabin.

The flight crew declared a PAN PAN emergency and returned to raventhorpe, the cabin crew managed to put the fire out before emergency services arrive.

Wouldn't be the first time some of the know it alls on prune got it wrong, if it was a fire you think they'd have maybe done a mayday?

 

These fume problems have been ongoing since the 146 was first produced. There has been action to try to fix the problem but nothing will be done. Crews have been debilitated pax have been affected, I'm sure there are still crew not being able to work from problems with fumes. The fumes are turbine engine oil fumes and are extremely toxic. CASA says no problem. You would think if there is a serious prang with multiple fatalities then CASA would be responsible for not fulfilling it's "duty of care".

No idea but I doubt it, what model was the last incident?

 

 

[Guest vh-tqp]

totally o/t, but hey VH-TJT, another TAA reg, and your avatar looks like a '9. love the camel hump livery, second only to the blue tail / white T.

 

 

[Guest VH-TJT]

Yes it is the first TJT. Wouldn't it be great if Qantas repainted 3 737-800's in the:

 

Blue tail / white T,

 

Camel hump and,

 

Australian Airlines liveries

 

Similar to what other airlines, such as US airways have done.

VH-NJE - British Aerospace BAE 146 (BAE 146-100).

I remember seeing a segment on the Sunday program a few years ago, I remember Ansett only having fumes problems on the -300 146's, but I don't think the problem is limited to only this model.
