NSW: Qantas plane backfires, aborts landing=2

The Qantas spokeswoman said the plane's captain had idled one of the engines after
technical difficulties.

"As the plane was coming in to land, the captain has felt vibrations in one engine," she said.

"He did a go around, where the plane turns around for a second landing, and pulled
the engine into idle as a precaution."

The spokeswoman said what witnesses thought was an engine fire was sparks as the engine
was pulled into idle.
