The Logbook: A380 Wake Turbulence Beats Up Saab 340
• The Australian Transportation Safety Board released their final report today about a REX Regional Express Saab 340Bthat took a beating while on approach to runway 34R in Sydney a year ago. It happened after having been caught in the wake turbulence of a Qantas A380 that had just landed on the parallel runway 34L. While descending through 2,400ft, the aircraft took a hard 52 degree roll to the left, an 8 degree nose-down pitch, and then rolled 28 degrees to the right. The pilots managed to regained control of the aircraft and landed safely with one passenger injury. [AvHerald]
