July 9, 201213 yr Not sure you remember the QF A380 which had an engine blow out on departure from Singapore...the big Bus suffered massive damage from the debris... Just saw this announcement... Quote...My book about the QF32 flight, aptly called "QF32" and published by Pan Macmillan is finished. The book will be formally launched by the media on 21 July and the book will be available at the end of the month. The dust cover looks good, except that the publisher wanted my photo on the front - not what I wanted, but so be it. The book can be ordered from www.QF32.Aero(delivery world wide), Amazon (electronic only) or any Australian bookshop. I have signed all books that are purchased from www.QF32.Aero There's absolutely no pressure to purchase a copy - I just wanted to let you know that the book is out and if you're interested. Kind regards Rich Richard de Crespigny A380 Captain.... ................. end of quote It should be a good read! Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
July 9, 201213 yr If I was the Captain on that A380, and I survived to write a book about it, i would think highly of myself too. Will, maybe the mods can move this too hangar chat forum.

July 9, 201213 yr Author I agree on both counts. Dont see anybody chastising Sullenberger for his public appearances, it is good to read about feats like these, i for one have pre-ordered my book, cant wait to read it. Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
July 9, 201213 yr I personally know Matt who was First Officer on-board that flight through my other friend who's a Second Officer on them. He and all the crew have an amazing/scary story to tell. I'd recommend watching this program on Youtube if you're interested and not seen it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGiITFlaafI - Luke Pabari
July 9, 201213 yr Its very interesting how they couldn't find a way to stop the engine for that long. [color=#a9a9a9][size=1][size=4][img]http://forum.avsim.net/public/style_images/flags/rs.png[/img][/size] Lj. Prodanovic[/size][/color]

July 12, 201213 yr It is a very interesting piece of reporting...here is the full episode...worth watching http://youtu.be/q6yCiqfKsSE That was very interesting! Thanks for that! There is an art . . . to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss
August 6, 201213 yr I read it in the back of a 73 bus over the weekend. It's worth a read for those who like flying their sim heavy metal around. Mike Dryden
August 7, 201213 yr Looks good, will have to get a copy! Regards, Duncan MacKellar UFLY737 London's Premier Flight Simulator Experience - www.ufly737.com
August 17, 201213 yr Author I've just finished reading it... wow....gotta say my views on the A380 have changed....what a machine! To have been so controllable after suffering a staggering amount of damage is almost beyond comprehension. Sent from my GT-P5100 using Tapatalk 2 Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
