QANTAS A380 Emergency LHR

ABOUT THIS VIDEO

A QANTAS Airbus A380 becomes involved in an emergency situation when a problem with the front landing gear is discovered.

The plane aborts its first landing attempt, performs a go-around and then lands safely on runway 27L at Heathrow Airport. Once on the ground the huge plane is unable to vacate the runway due to loss of steering - however she is eventually towed to Terminal 4 where the problem is rectified.

She later takes off for her 23 hour return trip to Sydney, Australia.

In a statement to The Australian QANTAS confirmed that the aircraft did a go around at 1900 feet and the Captain requested priority clearance as a precaution following a cockpit steering system fault message.

The problem was resolved on the ground within 80 minutes. QANTAS also made it clear that there was no risk to safety and all actions where precautionary.
