OO-TCC behoorlijk beschadigd ... / severe damage for OO-TCC
Vandaag is de OO-TCC behoorlijk beschadigd geraakt. Het toestel werd van de pushback losgekoppeld, maar men had vergeten blokken achter de wielen te zetten. Het toestel zou een behoorlijk eind achteruit gebold zijn en tegen een passagierstraop to stilstand gekomen zijn.
Een groot deel van de elevator is weg en de vleugel zelf is ook beschadigd.
Lufthansa, die het normaal onderhoud doet, mag dit niet repareren. Daarom is het toestel nu doorverwezen naar Sabena Technics.
Volgens bepaalde bronnen zou het toestel ook bijna 2 DHL 727's meegenomen hebben in z'n dolle rit ...

Don't dream your life, live your dream !!!
Sounds like TC can't use this aircraft for some time now.
Maybe they can lease another A320 for the time this aircraft is out of use.
Below a short translation of the topic in English:
Today Thomas Cook OO-TCC became damaged after the plane was dismounted from the pushback truck.
Due to the fact that there where no blocks behind the wheels the plane started to roll.
The plane drove into a passengerstair that stopped the plane.
A large part of the elavator is gone and the wing itself is also damaged. Acording to some sources also 2 DHL 727's where almost hit.
Best Regards,
Yvo

a few clarifications :
-TCC was to be towed to bay 302 with noselifter (= one man operation) as no ops today
- when a/c was lowered from noselifter, it jumped over the chocks and ran into the airbridge of bay 341
- it also ran into a DHL 727 that was parked there as well
- as nobody in cockpit, no brakes were applied
- the insurance will love it

Poor B727 of DHL and of course sad for OO-TCC as well
Has anybody the registration of the damaged B727 ? and can someone tell me why 2 B727's were parked at the C-Pier Does need more space in fromt of their hangars or were the B727's waiting to get some maintenance done by SN Technics.

OO-TCC Dream ! Minor repairs
Beste,
De schade is best te doen.
Enkel een repair op enkele onderdelen.
En een structurele inspectie op de stabilizer + right wing + spars.
We namen Sabena Technics i.p.v. LHT (Lufthansa Technics) gezien
Sabena Technics meer manpower en ervaring heeft in dit soort repairs.
Een team van Airbus zal morgen of vrijdag een structural inspection doen.
Naar schatting, 10 dagen out of ops.

re
To Thomas cook:
10 day out of operation? Sow does thomas cook take an exchange plane or not?

Oki, sorry didn t know that only English was required here.
No problem, will continue in English now.
Yeap, +/- 10 days out of ops.
No extra planes needed.
Back-up will be provided by PEGASUS Airlines.
They did already some wet-lease in when required due to extra flights (due to SLR Bankruptcy).

Dear,
The repair is rather small.
Only some replacements of elevators or repairs ?
An extra structural inspection by Airbus is required on the stabilizer + right wing + spars.
We took Sabena Technics in stead off LHT (Lufthansa Technics)
due to the fact that Sabena Technics will have more manpower
available and back-shops to perform repairs/replacement of
parts (elevator, aileron).
SNT has also more experience in this kind of repairs then LHT BRU.
A team of Airbus will perform on thursday or friday, depending on availability, a structural inspection of the damaged parts and surrounding
zones, areas.
Estimated downtime (TAT) : 10 days

The questions raises again if such manoeuvres should be allowed to be done by only one person. In this case a second person in the cockpit could have hit the brakes immediately.
Yep, that'll be a nice one for them. I suppose the guilty employee will be severly reprimanded (or fired for gross negligence)744rules wrote: ..
