A319 FO windshield blowout

Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633.... 14th May.

Chongqing to Lhasa.

FO windshield blowout at 9200m (30,100'), and looks like a severe FCU 1+2 failure also ! They diverted into Chengdu.

The safety altitude around where it occurred is 22,100'. The crew will have been High Altitude Airport trained since destination was Lhasa, Tibet.

Thoughts with the crew and wish them a speedy recovery. Well done for a safe return.
