Qantas and WA again

As mentioned a few months back, something strange is going on with
Qantas planes and WA, and it's happening again:

This is getting spooky.

If the HEH base is the cause, then them thar Airbussen must be particularly
sensitive. All sorts of aircraft use Learmonth on a regular (and irregular)
basis without having these hiccups.

** Must be another " Bermuda Triangle" type of thing.

Maybe we ought to call it the " Carnarvon Pentangle " or some such.

The HMAS Sydney went done there, with all hands, back in 1941,

you know .....

What's the HEH base ? And have these incidents been in its vicinity ?

Having lived in Carnarvon, I can believe anything of the place. After
all that is where Wilson Tuckey got his start in politics.

The latest incident was cited by ATSB's release

as 350NM S of Learmonth. From memory that is about 40k south of HEH, so that's
about 690km as the crow flies from the plane to the antenna array.

Where's Tom Moffat when you need him. He was pretty good at coming up

I'm intruiged though. It's low frequency. 30kHz IIRC. I wouldn't normally expect
that to upset computer systems. The wavelength's too long. And I'd expect the
airframe to be a good EMC shield at that frequency. But you never know. Hmmm ... how
much of the A330 body is composites instead of aluminium alloy ?

Add to that the fact that the radiation resistance of the antennas at those
stations is very low indeed, despite their large size. The HEH Tx is about
1MW but the actual far field radiation is only a few percent of that, ie. a
few 10s of KW. That makes it no more powerful, effectively, than a normal
broadcast station.

The antenna array is adjacent the base (at Exmouth), which is ~40km from
Learmonth.

The Exmouth base transmits at Very Low Frequencies. Only an uneducated

controls.

Not necessarily the case. Shielding of the electronics by the aircraft
skin and
frame will be less effective at VLF frequencies, so while I am rather
sceptical
that HEH is the trigger (more on the basis of distance and power levels) I
would
never say never.

Besides, we also have to look at the "French factor". Remember the air
show
crash (different Airbus model) where the software decided to land when the
pilot
clearly had other plans for his day? Some say French logic is an
oxymoron.
It beggars belief that even the most poorly trained designer would leave an
aircraft's controls susceptible to radio fields when we have so many of
them, natural (eg lightning) and unnatural (such as the various facilities
discussed). The news media will now utter the usual pseudo-science that
does so much harm -- eg 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' or
'magnets in blankets proven to cure rheumatism'!

Ad an experienced person would be having a quiet chuckle at your
post. Could you tell me the location of the big hangar where they test all
aircraft for exposure to various EMF? We should be able to see it on
google earth.

Does it? Modern management technique is to regard any employee as "hire
tools" and take the lowest price. It is exactly the scenario that can lead
to susceptible equipment.
