Transair 737 crash crew believed both engines were failing
Air-ground communications from the crew of a Boeing 737-200 which ditched off Honolulu on 2 July indicate the pilots were dealing with an engine failure and believed the other engine was also on the verge of failing (www.newsbreak.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Old aircraft.......the idiots at Seattle Times compared it to the MAX crashes.smh
Yes.. Very Very old! That was a 70's/80's Vintage.. Maybe older... I still like them more than the CFM birds!
Gates and the Times won't be getting off that gravy train any time soon. Plane was delivered in 1975.
1 Certified Engine Failure and the other close to going... Very interesting.. I would love to track the maintenance records on this one. Good read!
I’d be interested in the last time the engines were overhauled and whether or not they could make rated thrust? Another question could be aircraft configuration while attempting a return?
Probably about 2 days before it was accepted by them!
a 70's/80's vintage airliner is not old, for many of its currents parts are much newer than that. Brings out the Sherlock Holmes in me: question. For an aircraft that just recently flew successfully, what new was added to said aircraft that both engines require, that may have caused both engines to underperform and fail??? So very glad both pilots survived an ocean landing. I want to hear their story in detail. An emergency ditching in the dark: excellent skill shown here. congrats guys.
