If; and I do say IF, the aircraft was shaking so badly that it (allegedly) threw a hydraulic pump (vibrating so badly as to sheer the studs or loosen the nuts) then the very least of the problems would be a marginally ‘overweight’ landing at Learmonth. Honestly; we have to question, yet again, who was actually in command. The loss of a hydraulic pump – due to vibration – would, I hope, be noticed by the Airbus ‘electronic’ control (hint).
But, as they say in the classics – you were not in the saddle, holding the reins. I expect we’ll have to wait the mandatory three years for the ATSB to get off it’s collective; provided the politics of safety don’t get ruffled – again.
You’ve all heard the one about a King who’s son wanted a cowboy outfit for Christmas – and the king bought him a low cost carrier.
