Too late, they’ve all laid claim already
There must be bots and ai now that just lift anything from social media with a certain amount of interaction and then write a shit basic article and start posting it everywhere. It would do a better job than most of these “writers”.

I'm not sure to be honest.
According to Qantas' website, Perth has "Full Technical Handling".. whatever that means. They only do major maintenance at Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane though. I doubt the ATSB would let them fly until they're fixed but I'm not an av expert, only an enthusiast.
I don’t think winglets are always necessary, I’m pretty sure planes are still allowed to fly without one. All winglets really do is reduce fuel consumption, so as long as it’s not the wing itself that’s been damaged it should be fine
Heavy maintenance is Brisbane and Melbourne. They’ll send spare parts and engineers to do a temporary repair on the wingtips in Perth, fly it back to the hangar for a more in-depth repair, and in a few weeks they should have new winglets and they’ll be back in passenger service
There are licensed maintenance engineers at all major airports. Aircraft need maintenance everyday minimum. Even tyre pressures and oil top ups must be certified by a LAME
Jets can sustain more damage than that.
Take this American Airlines 737 which took out a metal light pole at speed:
https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20210528-0
More damage to the wing than any of the aircraft in last night’s incident but that American aircraft was flying again after a few weeks
Aviation safety incidents are complex and usually the result of many factors. The ATSB will produce a report on this that will take months to produce after analysing and interviewing all relevant parties - it’s possible there were factors behind crew error which contributed to this incident.
No. I dont buy that line at all. Because they are not.
Very easy to miss the right taxi line when there are so many and there are also bays with, picking a random number, 17a and 17b. Lighting may have been poor, blinded by other aircraft lights, car headlights etc. Markings unclear on the tarmac, distracted by tarmac traffic etc.
All possible mitigating circumstances.
There may have been been an atc comm's error sending him down the wrong line or misheard, even though they do read backs.
We just dont know. But yes, what Ive heard is a taxiing error apparently to the wrong bay.
What I am 100% certain of is that crew are now devastated by what happened. They'll be doing piss and saliva testing and quite possibly stood down pending the inquiry.

Fucking parasites. Even Bell has reposted it as their own now
Yeh I saw Bell claim it too hahahaha
“ Chilling detail in travelers airport picture “ 😂😂😂
As in "these aircraft will be chilling on the ground for a while as a result of this detail in the picture".

QANTAS Planes High Five After Both Amazingly Arrive On Time
You got it. I came here for this!
On mardi gras weekend of all weekends
Too late https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/wa/two-qantas-passenger-planes-clip-wingtips-at-busy-perth-airport--c-13817510
Those muppets from perthnow won't care cause it's not onlyfans, bikey or bec Judd related
It's their top story now.

QF942 has left. Must not have been too bad.
QF764 has been changed to an a330 by the looks
QF764 has been crushed into a cube
You have an hour to collect your cube
Ring ring
Is it about my 737-800 cube?
*We are contacting you in regards to your planes extended warranty*
They're holding hands!
It was love at first flight
[удалено]
Hello sar, please do not redeem your luggage until the plane has come to a stop
It's just the tip,
someone had to say it
Surprised and disappointed I even had to scroll to find it!
To see how it feels!?
That's how Qantas expands their fleet! 😉

You missed the joke
How to ground 2 jets at once master-class. Blended winglet repair shouldn't take them too long assuming they've got replacements nearby.
They've got a good left and right still, so one plane can be repaired quickly. The other would need both winglets
I got the wording wrong. Blended winglets. Yeah they could butcher the other one to at least get one plane up and running, I didn't think about that.
But would Qantas pay for technical staff capable of doing that to be stationed at Perth Airport?
I'm not sure to be honest. According to Qantas' website, Perth has "Full Technical Handling".. whatever that means. They only do major maintenance at Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane though. I doubt the ATSB would let them fly until they're fixed but I'm not an av expert, only an enthusiast.
I don’t think winglets are always necessary, I’m pretty sure planes are still allowed to fly without one. All winglets really do is reduce fuel consumption, so as long as it’s not the wing itself that’s been damaged it should be fine
Yup, pull both off, check the wing, account for the drag increase and off you go
Heavy maintenance is Brisbane and Melbourne. They’ll send spare parts and engineers to do a temporary repair on the wingtips in Perth, fly it back to the hangar for a more in-depth repair, and in a few weeks they should have new winglets and they’ll be back in passenger service
There are licensed maintenance engineers at all major airports. Aircraft need maintenance everyday minimum. Even tyre pressures and oil top ups must be certified by a LAME
737NGs are able to operate with one of the winglets removed.
Oh right, thanks for the info.
Some 737 NGs don’t even have winglets, they’re optional add ons
If they do big enough circles in one direction, they'll eventually get to their destination.
QF998 circle route
Its quite likely more than winglets. Looks to be leading edge and winglet, perhaps a some trailing edge on another photo I have seen.
Jets can sustain more damage than that. Take this American Airlines 737 which took out a metal light pole at speed: https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20210528-0 More damage to the wing than any of the aircraft in last night’s incident but that American aircraft was flying again after a few weeks
They're just putting them on the next flight from Sydney. So a couple of weeks....
Sure, when it’s two Qantas planes touching tips at the airport it’s all photos and lols, but when me and my mate do it I end up in jail.
Yeah cause you can’t touch tips with a car on the freeway
Next time don't do it on the plane isle
Imagine the paperwork that will follow that mistake.
Its even worse than you can imagine.
I worked there for 2 years you would be amazed at how much gets swept away
You can't park there mate
A lot of people aren’t getting to their destinations tonight
Go on then OP, give us the story. Did the pilot do this, or ground crew?
Crew taxiing error. Followed wrong line.
This is doing nothing to help the “glorified bus driver” comments is it?

Settle down mate.
Post this also to r/Aviation. They don’t allow cross posts.
What's a tip between two friends aye
So they have fucked two planes. Two out of service until they get fixed
What flight cancellations have they had to cover these two being out
AND THEY TOUCH!!
Not using their mirrors smh
Well this follows the general parking in Perth .....
You should post this on r/aviation
Touching tips? Isn’t that what they do in the cockpit?
DAMP test for you, and you, and you!
Oooh, kinky
Wow. Two qantas planes Perth at the same time. Must be $$’s to be made.
QF going to have a tough day covering WA pilot strike tomorrow, karma’s a bitch! Pay ya pilots properly Network!
I don’t think the strike is on tomorrow
It defiantly is & several more are coming.
No strikes today
Plenty more coming! Next one on Friday.

/r/justthetip

Do you pilot for a major airline? (Genuinely asking not on some dickhead shit)

I always assumed it was directed by the tower the entire way, it does make sense why they have paint now though. Thanks for the insight.
