Yesterday was quite eventful for plane spotters at Manchester Airport in the UK. A routine morning of arrivals and departures was dramatically overshadowed by the engine failure of a Thomas Cook Airbus A330-200 during the afternoon. (www.youtube.com) 기타...
Airbus A330 right engine failure causes aborted take off
Thomas Cook flight 314 from Manchester to the Dominican Republic, operated on an Airbus A330-200 (registered G-OMYT) was proceeding well on its departure roll when it experienced a failure of its right engine. The video shows exactly what is supposed to happen in these circumstances, for which flight crews train relentlessly.
It's very cool in the alternate (head-on view) video to watch the rudder kick out and compensate for the sudden asymmetric thrust. Very little deviation from the centerline. I wonder, how might that look on an ice-covered runway? I'm guessing until you're slow enough, it's mostly "flown" with the flight control surfaces as opposed to "driven" with the friction from the tires. In the above side-view video, it seems there is a some momentary wheel lockup from both main-gear trucks. I suppose that's what max-autobrake gives you: system continually working to the edge of lockup, finding it with a little wheel lock, then backing off just-enough. Cool (or, HOT in this case).
I saw the wheels bouncing too. Wasn't sure of that as my monitor is old. Did look like at least 2 wheel hops on the left side though. The whole deal turned out rather well considering the worst case scenario. It's nice to see something work as designed.
From working the Professional Video Industry for a period of time.... that was more luck than skill.... But as in a good game of poker... I will take good luck anytime over skill.
It may have been a failure rather than an impact. I saw a flash as if a metal piece was bouncing around. Didn't see anything moving before that. OTOH camera was a loonng way off.
Joel: so you did see the event. You're right, it could be bird strike or parts failure. I guess a close look at the intake area will tell the story. Feathers or shards.
aborted take-offs are business as usual. 1 out of every 2,000 flights does it for one reason or another every day. That is what you train for, or an engine failure in climbout..
I've had 1 give out before liftoff, it was over before I consciously noticed. Rudder comes out, both engines to idle or reverse & brakes to max, check co-pilot for stunned look. 3 seconds feel like 30!
Marcus you must live in a different world, i flew heavy jets for 25 years and an aborted take off is definitely not business as usual.One of the most dangerous and difficult tasks you can perform . The guys at Thompson did a fantastic job
I kinda suspect Marcus lives in the C 172 world, not that there is anything wrong with that. I strongly question his #'s for RTO's per operations. Show me the historical data upon which you base your claim. Boeing did a study on RTO's some years back and came to the conclusion that a go,in most circumstances, at or near V1, is by far the safer choice. A rejected takeoff around V1 is NOT bidness as usual. Having flown transport category jets for some 25 years, hats off to Tim. And after experiencing an RTO in a Lear 35, near V1 a few years back, due to two blown mains on the left side, I know we train for it, I know it is always a possibility, and I pay much more attention to BFL, but I don't want to do it again. And my guess is the Thomas Cook airplane was well below V1, and probably below 100 knts. based on the video time line, though it doesn't start at the takeoff roll. They did what you train for, and did it correctly. Hence, the positive outcome. Believe it or not, to a true professional, it ain't a matter of luck. Though I'll take some any time.
A couple followups. Aborted at 140 kts, engine being looked at, The AAIB have opened an investigation into the occurrence rated a serious incident. A330-200, registration G-OMYT
Thanks goodness the A330 didn't reach it V1 speed, or else the pilot would be flying with on one engine.Also I think the pilot handled the abort take off procedure amazingly.
