F-111 fleet grounded
July 19, 2006
AN investigation into Australia's F-111s begins today after the 26-strong fleet was grounded following an emergency landing in Brisbane by one of the ageing strike bombers.
The aircraft made a belly landing at the RAAF's Amberley base west of Brisbane about 2.10pm (AEST) yesterday after losing a wheel on takeoff.

After circling the air base near Ipswich for almost three hours to burn off excess fuel, the jet came into land, creating a plume of sparks as it slid on its belly along the tarmac.

The 29-year-old pilot had only graduated from the F-111 training course two weeks ago, but his 32-year-old crew member is considered one of the most experienced F-111 navigators.

Defence Minister Brendan Nelson said the grounding of the F-111 fleet was necessary to ensure there was nothing structurally wrong with the planes.

Air Marshall Geoff Shepherd said it was the first time a wheel had ever fallen off an F-111 in the 30-year flying history of the planes in Australia.

He said there were still no clues as to why the wheel fell off as the jet took off on a routine flight to Tenterfield in northern NSW.

RAAF Amberley's Group Captain Leo Davies believed it may only take weeks for the investigation to be completed.

"Defence's flying safety investigators, Boeing - as the primary contractor for F111 maintenance - and a Melbourne-based team of engineers will head the investigation," he said.

"They will determine what happened and also assess how much work needs to be done and the time frame to get the aircraft back in the air again.

"They should make an assessment over the next few weeks."

Eight F-111s have crashed since they began operating in Australia in the 1970s, killing 10 crew.

Ape lak kena mengena pilot kurang pengalaman dgn wheel tercabut. Bukannye dia yang pasang wheel tu. Kalo nak kata dia tak buat proper pre-flight inspection tu mungkin la. Maybe tak sepak sket tayar tu ke...

6 Squadron Pilot, Flying Officer P. Komar
I Squadron Navigator, Flight Lieutenant M. Warner
Standing in front of RF-111C aircraft they successfully landed with the wheels up after losing a main wheel on take off.

satu soalan..apsal diaorang choose to bellyland on tarmcac i/o tanah macam kita punya pc-7 selalu buat

Fighter tu kan berat and higher approach speed. Kalo belly kat atas tanah berumput, ada risk skid lebih sket. Dkt atas tarmac, tinggi sket geseran dia. Cepat sket berenti.

bukankah sebelum terbang dia kena check dulu situasi kapal terbang tu,
mana-mana pilot memang akan buat rutin tu

Ko penah pi airport tgk pilot buat pre-flight inspection tak? Mana ade pilot tu pi mencangkung kat tepi tayar pastu pulas nat try tgk longgar ke tak... setakat tgk je la... diorg trust maintenance ppl do their job.

Especially military. Setiap jet or kapal terbang tu ade crew chief sendiri yang akan pastikan pesawat tu OK and clear for flight. Pilot just setakat buat surface check je. Dia trust crew chief dia dah make sure aircraft tu clear. Kalo setiap flight nak buat detail inspection, enemy aircraft dah overhead pun maunye friendly aircraft tak fly lagi...

So... aku punye opinion... pilot tu green lagi ke ataupun dah coklat susu ke, takde issue. Just my opinion... Tu pun tokleh nak salahkan maintenance krew gak. Material fatigue pun kena konsider gak...
