While in-flight from Singapore to Adelaide (Australia), the pilot of QF 52 (Qantas Flight 52) noticed a warning signal mid-flight indicating a problem with a part of the hydraulic steering system. It later touched down without incident at the Brisbane Airport, despite problems with its steering system. Ambulance and fire crews were on standby when the plane landed but it appeared to touch down safely. The aircraft was towed to the international terminal.
