Qantas plane makes emergency landing at SYD

Contained doesn't mean that it didn't throw bits of metal, only that they came out of the exhaust.

Agree, I was responding to an earlier post (quoted) saying it was uncontained, I have heard reports a tyre may have failed.

According to flightradar24 - its VH-VYH - that is an 19 year old 737

reasonably non-sensational report from ABC on utube.
decent vision showing the aircraft stopping at end of 34L for inspection before taxiing to terminal.

Agree the reporting on the incident by ABC online is reasonably circumspect, but the opinion piece from a veteran ABC journalist who was on board the flight read a little more emotively than perhaps I’d have expected from someone who describes having taken hundreds of flights in a variety of contexts over 4 decades

Question for @AviatorInsight or @jb747

Is the engine out procedure different depending on which engine?

In this case it was #2 and they maintained RWY heading at first, then a left turn.

Would the opposite have happened if it was the #1, or is the procedure the same?

Gave me a chuckle

Back to being serious though, I did notice how high that grass was and wondering why it has been allowed to get that way. Lack of maintenance it seems

ATC advised them to simply maintain runway heading on the comms. They then asked later on what they wanted to do next, which was return left circuit on 34L

It doesn’t matter. It’s the same procedure. Our procedures off runway 34L/R are to maintain runway track until we reach the minimum safe altitude and then we can ask for vectors to go somewhere out of the way to do checklists.
