Delta A330 with 3 Incidents in One Week.
N861NW, an A330-200 with Delta, experienced 3 engine problems in the same week with the number 2 (right) engine. (airlinegeeks.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It would be interesting to know - to be fair - what was done to the engine and systems after each incident. This can be either one of those very very rare statistical anomalies, a problem that was not identified so it's a learning opportunity or, simply, stupid and risky decision making by Delta maintenance.
Of course that information is not revealed because I don't think that's the intent of this article. It's very frustrating to me as an aircraft mechanic to see articles written this way.
The informational part of the article reads like he was summarizing Aviation Herald.

The last two paragraphs read like an awkward high school essay attempt to present a profound lesson (maintenance and safety are important. Ya, thanks for the heads up).
I see the plane spent 3 days in Shannon. Then to Detroit and back into revenue service.

@Larry, I agree with your assessment of the article. Given that the author is going to graduate from University in 2018 I am guessing he still has a lot to learn.
What's the intent of the article?
Many would think that it's just for information, but they do it to stir up attention and arguments, really. So people argue and quarrel. What it is, is free advertising for Delta Airlines
Each issue with this aircraft was a different problem unique to itself. The real problem here is the news media playing up the incident and not what maintenance found to be the cause of the issues. Having spent 4 years in the Air Force as and Aircraft Repair I can state that many times an issue in the air will ground test okay. When that happens you test the entire system if you cannot duplicate the problem you cannot fix it. It would be nice to know what Delta maintenance found when trouble shooting and what repairs if any were done. If none were found on the ground and two issues with the same engine caused the loss of service for all most a weeks time I would bet they changed the engine when the plane reached a maintenance base.
The anti-ice issue had nothing to do with the engine and most likely cause was a sensor issue. Wing anti-ice issues drove us nuts as most times they ground checked okay. You would write it up that way and ask for an inflight check. days or weeks would go by without a problem.
