Creepy how this happened exactly a year after the first one.

Do other airlines use the Trent 900s on their A380s or is it just Qantas? No other airline is having these problems.

It was nothing like the first incident. It was an oil pressure sensor that failed.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
