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) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
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!
But was #2 in the process of failing? I would have assumed that they could at least maintain altitude, but I, obviously, wasn't there.
That was a tough situation. It's amazing they both survived. What a ride, I'm sure. Wow!

You can listen to the audio between them and ATC on YouTube. They have an engine fail, then as they're configuring the airplane to return they start losing the 2nd engine.
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.
Contaminated fuel?
They were Departing Hawaii, their fuel should be good...
Do they sell better quality fuel there? I don't understand.
