The No2 engine vibration monitor was showing excessive reading of N1,which the copilot read as NO1 engine. And the Capt of total 20000hrs didn't bother to check and shut down No.1. During restart at 2000ft thanks to Airbus they got alpha floor in Boeing they would be dead. Managed to restart asked for immediate Landing without much preparation. When vectored made a meal of it had to goround and landed safely if you can call that second time around. Some guardian angel who's duty time was not over must have taken mercy.
Vilas,
Dig into this matter.
There are a lot that they have not covered and has been hidden.
This is not all the truth.
Company management are good at hide the truth but keep asking and you will be surprise.
You said: Some guardian angel who's duty time was not over must have taken mercy.
Yes it was, In the flight it was called EXPAT. Yes An Expat was traveling on this flight as a passenger and he is the one that Saved the day.
Flight G8-338, VT-GOS with 164 passenger and Multi Million dollars Aircraft(Airbus 320) with bunch of ancient people between building on the ground should of crashed , if it was not because of what this expat did.
Go back and dig and ask question from the other pilots and personal that they have been working at the time and they are still there and they will tell you that this is truth.
