Mechanics left a 33-centimeter service light within the wing of a Qantas Airbus A380. The ATSB disclosed that the jet flew for two days with the work light inside before anyone found it. The 33-centimeter light stayed in the wing during those journeys as the Qantas plane flew.
The Qantas Airbus A380 flew to Texas and back while the work light remained inside the wing. Technicians left the lamp inside the aircraft wing during checks. The aircraft finished its flights to Texas and back over two days before someone discovered the work light in the wing.
