Fuel Leak after take off

[rod1987]

Could I get some help from someone. I know it must be a simple silly mistake so could someone tell me how to avoid it.
After take off, as i approach crusing altitude, a major fuel leak occurs in the right tank. I thought at first I was applying to much thrust
power but after testing this theoy out I was wrong. I followed airspeeds very carefully and I cannot reach my destination and am forced to
divert. It has happened both with the 747 and 777.

Could somene please help me out???

Are you buying old cheap aircraft that there is no information n if the previous owner took care of the maintenance?

Is this also happening after you reload the aircraft? How many times in a row is it happening?

Ive had a string of bad luck with failures with fuel leaks in old aircraft with a lot of hours. Almost put my FsP company into bankrupcy lol,
but luckily I had a long string without failures

if I have any failures with my new company, I wont have a pot to **** in since I have done what I said I wouldnt do. Bought an aircraft that
left me with zilch in my FsP bank

A fuel leak on takeoff destroyed a Concorde. :-(

Had it happen on a 777LR, just as I was trying to make a distance record. 20 hour flight in real time.

Hey "Rod", I know you're new here, but there's no need for double post (the one here, and this one:
(404: The post of this link doesn't existe anymore)). Just as many people will see your post if you only post it once. Consider
this a warning!

[Mattyboom]

Maybe he wanted to post a new topic, considering rules says you must stay on topic....

Maye you were just a little hash: "Consider this a warning!"

Thats not to friendly

Thats a bit of an understatement and factually inaccurate. In the case of the Concorde, the fuel tank on the wing was hit by a significantly large
piece of rubber from a shattered main wheel which was damaged badly by a piece of metal from a Continental DC-10, which caused a ripple in the wing so immense that fuel was shaken about in the wing so violently, it leaked from the vent in the wing and sparks were created from the shattered landing gear which ignited the fire, but it wasn't this alone that caused the Concorde to crash.
The engineer was quite neglagent in shutting down the left engines without the Captain's approval and without reaching v2 which is the speed at which you must be at or above before shutting an engine down after takeoff. And it was this that gave Concorde such a lack of power and what caused it to eventually stall and thus become uncontrolable and unfortunetly crash. So there is a chance that the Concorde could have returned to the airport safely without further incident.

So I'm a funny guy now? Like a f*cking clown? Do I f*cking amuse you? (If you've seen GoodFellas you know what I mean ). You're
new here buddy. Sure, I like a friendly and playful atmosphere, however try not talking down to me. I'm not going to waste my time with
you. Who the hell are you anyway?



That was a warning. Just a friendly, heads up reminder. That's all I was giving you. Then you decide to post double again here:

(404: The post of this link doesn't existe anymore)


I'm not going to start a fight, I'm just telling you (not asking) that you do not need to post double anymore. It uses precious forum space,
and is just downright annoying.

Thanks

I like your reaction DBE.... I had a feeling you would have posted something after I read that comment!!!!

What does him being new change?

He read the rules, which require people not to post off topic, the first double post was fine, he posted a new topic regarding his problem.

I don''t know about the second time, that doesn't concern me, it just seems your wanting to pick on someone.

So what, he posted one post, in another thread, a very small space on the page, then decided he was going to follow rules and post a fresh topic so
the other one would stay on topic.

Read the rules yourself, then you can probarly be a better moderator.

[SWAFO]

Perhaps everyone (including myself) is just over-reacting to this? How 'bout we forget the whole thing, and call it a day!

I just didn't like the fact that he double posted once (even though the first time was acceptable if you wanna go by the rules), yet then he
did it again! Posting the same message twice on one thread! That irritated me, and I stated it. Not a problem. I can move on. I won't
lose sleep over it, I promise

That's over now.
