Das Abwracken des 346 war vermutlich eine einfache Kosten-Nutzen Rechnung bezogen auf den Wiederverkaufswert (= keiner). So viele A340er fliegen ja nicht "second hand". Da dürften die Chancen bei nem 333 besser stehen.
Na ja, das Flugzeug war nur ein Jahr alt, und sollte in den Büchern mit einem deutlich dreistelligen Millionenbetrag gestanden haben.
Hier sind die Schäden des Fliegers:

- the left main gear strut was broken at the base separating from its wing attachment. The wheel bogie beam was broken, hydraulics lines and electrical harnesses were ruptured, the lower articulation link was broken into three pieces.
- the right main gear strut was bent outwards by about 5-10 degrees and showed the hydraulics lines and electrical harnesses ruptured, the lower articulation link was broken into two parts.
- the body gear remained in its position fully extended and locked.
- apart from the damaged wiring harnesses there was no evidence of damages to the brakes
- all tyres except number 6 deflated
- the left main landing gear damper separated from the aircraft upon impact with the localizer antenna
- the engine pylons 1 and 2 (both left) were deformed by torsion to the right
- the left wing had a crack at the lower surface resulting in a fuel spill. Several rivets detached. The upper surface showed a fissure in the area of the left main landing gear support.
Man hätte wohl eine komplette Reparatur entwickeln müssen. Ich glaube A340 wurden sowieso nie so richtig repariert.
