SarkinYarki: GE does manufacture engines for Boeing commercial airplanes . I think what you should explain is why most airline around the world have grounded 737 .that model is so epidemic to engine failure ,I am not saying engine failure don't occur in other planes . And it has follow the same trend of failing after take off . |

Jarus:When they lost the first engine, first officer suggested to the captain to get the flight engineer to evaluate the issue. The captain declined that they can resolve it themselves. He asked the first officer to increase the rate of descent which the first officer objected to but still carried out the command. Then they lost the second engine. If they hadn't increased rate of descent, I feel they would still have been able to glide to the airport when the second engine went out 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kaycee9242:wrong. Most planes have 2 engines. The 4 engines planes are the 747's, A380's, A340's. They are not categorised by local or international. Infact the twin engine planes have the longest range now. 1 Like |

Electronzeez: Boeing deploys GE engines on just it's 747 , 767 ,777, 787 models but on other models it deploys Pratt &Whitney's , Rolls Royce, EA and CFMs... 787 uses either rolls Royce engines or GE engines , 737s have used Pratts , have used EAs and now later models CFMs. The CFM leap engine was what caused the displacement of the 737 max airframes aero dynamic balance so much much they had to deploy MCAS automatic trimmer software that caused both crashes .

petitejolie: He noticed that one of the engines was not thrusting properly when he left Abuja but ignored it because he had a flight to catch that evening to the US where he also had work to do so he risked it , yes one engine can complete a flight but it's very risky like he eventually learnt on that day . |

Kaycee9242: Most long haul commercial jets have just two engines the 767 A350, 787 , 777 all have just two engines . The only commercial jetliner you will see with 4 engines today are the A340 , A380 and 747 2 Likes |

sofiscatedmoron:U are right but its risky on 737 as it only has 2engines unlike Boeing747 and Airbus380 |
Re: Air Peace Aircraft Develops Engine Failure Mid Air by LordPsalm(m): 9:42am On Nov 06, 2019 |
I know its scary when u hear the pilot announve that u have lost an engine mid-air especially on a 2engine aircraft. But that's still a PAN PAN call not a MAY DAY which is a dangerous call. So its easy to locate the nearest airport and declare emergency landing on one engine. The worst call that u should be scared of is BRACE whuch means prepare fir crash/impact. |

Re: Air Peace Aircraft Develops Engine Failure Mid Air by Reference(m): 9:49am On Nov 06, 2019 |
Good job. Detect an anomaly and take immediate action. Some airlines and pilots will continue on, downgrading the risk to their peril. |
Re: Air Peace Aircraft Develops Engine Failure Mid Air by Reference(m): 9:54am On Nov 06, 2019 |
LabDNA: What do you mean by this.? What procedure could gave stopped an engine failure.? Without knowing the cause of the failue what checks could have been made to prevent this. There are hardly any cases of pilot error leading to an engine failure. The problem has never been the failure but the reaction to it which in some cases has worsened the sitiation. |

Re: Air Peace Aircraft Develops Engine Failure Mid Air by Reference(m): 10:01am On Nov 06, 2019 |
sofiscatedmoron: Are you nuts. An engine failure is a serious emergency and a request to land asap should be initiated. Modern jet engines are very, very reliable so when one fails it means something serious has occured most likely not in or with the engine itself but with adjoining systems commanding fuel flow or electrical power. If the engine itself fails every bolt and nut will feel the impact. |

michaelwilli: I remember the incident quite well and then I attributed it to pilot error because he flew with one engine for 'quite a while' before the second engine failed. My question then and I say so now is that: Yes, a twin engined or even four engined aircraft can fly and land safely with one engine operating but, BUT only if the pilot knows exactly what caused the engine to fail ...or lose thrust. And I wil say to pilots. If you donot know what caused the engine to fail then declare an immediate emergency and put the bird down asap. He had Akure, Ibadan airports to do that bit for some reason decided to continue on to Lagos which proved a bridge too far. Pilots flying in Nigeria should be conversant with ALL airports and airfield along their corridors/airways be they operational or not. It could jùst be a life saver. If for instance you have a fuel flow (blockage), fuel contamination (popular in the 90's in Nigeria), fuel pump failure (electrical) and one engine goes out as a result, you have no engies because it is just a matter of time before the other(s) die. It will not matter whether the aircraft can fly with one engine or not. The key is: what caused the engine failure. If I am a pilot I will not hang around to find out or continue stupidly to my destination, company image or not. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Jarus: You have mind o Oga Jarus, reduce flying abeg. That shiit is tooo scary for me, I hate the experience....I flew from Lagos to PH, den PH back to Lagos recently and it was a really nice flight but then, my mind wasn't at rest. The only reason I flew waa because my car wasn't in good shape at that time and then, I was scared of the PH route. Flying is cool and very fast but then, putting my life in the hands of a fellow human is too scary for me, I was pessimistic all through the flight and I felt really sad thinking about how the Passengers of the ill fated flights would react knowing that, they are dying. That big metal object coming down from the sky to bust into flames is too sad an experience. 1 Like |
