Tool Found In Qantas Airbus A380 Engine After 2 Months Missing

[@michaeloreilly657]

The biggest problem isn't the tool in the engine. It's the tool working on it.

[@danielbrown4133]

Off shore maintenance?

[@benwilson6145]

The problem is not the tool, its the fool who left it

[@ThePaulv12]

Swiss Cheese model would suggest the goose who left it there was one slice of the cheese. What the other slices are is what I'm more interested in.

[@michaelreeves8164]

The only tools QANTAS use are left behind at the check-in desk.

[@JC130676]

The biggest problem isn't the tool working on the engine. It's that it took 2 months to do the job.

[@gwynt909]

That is just plain negligence on the part of the mechanic AND his manager. When my brother worked at Cairns Airport he made sure ALL tools were present before he signed off on any repairs and maintenance.

While Airbus found the spanner, the competitor is still looking for the bolts, my opinion is that gaffer tape is definitely the plane best friend.

[@CheapBastard1988]

Airbus didn't find anything, nor was Airbus responsible for the tool that was left behind. The maintenance organizations hired by Qantas are.

[@gungadinn]

Speed tape, not gaffers tape. Gaffers tape is used in photography and videography because it''s easily removed. Aluminum speed tape sticks and will frequently remove paint when removed.

Tools used on Western aircraft are usually imperial. Yes, even Airbus uses imperial nuts and bolts. Only cabin fixtures sometimes require metric tools, but not often.

[@Jul676869]

Glad nothing happened…

[@dukwdriver2909]

And the person that found, reported and had the debris removed gets no credit in the comments. Typical.

[@YuckFoutube-e1z]

I get no credit for doing my job either...

[@darylovaltine]

All tools and tooling must be returned before the aircraft is released. There are shadow boards and store lists that must be checked before the release is given this means they KNOW the item was somewhere in the engine and made the decision to release the aircraft anyway

[@olddog-fv2ox]

All tools are tagged, if anything is not returned your tag remains in its place

[@margaretarross1712]

The best explanation for the length of time delay is that maintenance checks are not being done.

[@MartintheTinman]

I'm always miss placing my tools when I'm stoned too

[@stevecagle2317]

Starting to wonder if A&Ps need to do what Operating room nurses & techs do and keep track of every instrument and sponge count during surgery. You don't close the patient until instruments, sponges etc. are accounted for.

[@kenoliver8913]

They are supposed to do exactly that - the plane is not set to go until every tool used and and every part is accounted for. Something went seriously wrong with procedure at Qantas. And at Boeing too - where did those missing bolts go?

[@joeyk9578]

I thought the same thing but wondered weren't they supposed to be doing that?

[@theChickenstones]

Stop making sense....

[@DJAYPAZ]

They do that on aircraft carriers also.

Alan Joyce has trashed the Quanta’s brand.

​@@troyo1992correct, it should be spelt Quantass

[@dionchandler2658]

How does this occur, with such strict accounting for tools in aviation maintenance. If it can't be found, the work is pulled down until it is found.

[@kingdomfor1]

Yes exactly, if you have been using the tool on the engine , and you can't find it , the plane doesn't leave until you do find it.

[@satunnainenkatselija4478]

What if they don't count the tools? Doesn't Boeing give away tools with every airplane? Do I remember rightly that in the investigation of the salt in filter incident they found tools in the fuel tank?

[@utha2665]

@@kingdomfor1 Exactly, but then you get patients that have had instruments left inside and sewn back up. Someone wasn't following procedures in both cases. I hope the employee and their supervisor are no longer working there.

My guess it was wedged or secured in some part of the housing.

[@ambydaly5713]

All tools should in future be identified and logged out of the stores and booked back by the concerned fitter to ensure no repeats of this incident.
