Just took off from Stdney on a flight to Brisbane on my posky Qantas 767-300 VH-ZXB. I started with 5 degrees of flaps on takeoff as with
all jets, retracted the landing gear, nicely climbing when bang - through 359 Feet, a message says, flaps destroyed as I was going to
fast.
Found the problem. My auto throttle didn't work and aircraft went to 379 knots before I had the speed droping. Was able to land safetly
and fight to live another day. Had a hard landing but as I only had 5 degrees still on the wings, just flared it a little early to wash the speed
off a little andlanded safetly. It said that it was hardlanding, but as it had little or no flaps, the skill of the pilot was
excellent.
Problem solved, no failures at all seting.
