Pretty simple. Go full throttle and don't retract them. I have been told that's not possible, it's protected, but who knows. It may have been a wing strike then ? It will all come out in the wash 😉 It is kind of peculiar. I've always been used to hearing Airbus's flight protection systems under normal circumstances prevent the pilots from accidentally pulling manoeuvres that might cause structural damage. Seems like the pilots did just that here. No protection for this? |

Wow how do you damage the flaps doing a go around ? Most probably, after an overspeed (for the selected flap setting) a check had to be performed. That the aircraft was immediately returned to service suggests no dammage was found. |

BA's first A350 damaged in ground shunt with Emirates 777 By David Kaminski-Morrow14 April 2020 www.flightglobal.com/safety/bas-first-a350-damaged-in-ground-shunt-with-emirates-777/137875.articleBritish Airways’ first Airbus A350-1000 has been damaged in a ground accident which also involved an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER at Dubai. Images circulating on social media indicate that the trailing edge of the A350’s left-hand horizontal stabiliser struck – or was struck by – the left-hand elevators of the 777. |
