Word on the grapevine is that another TriStar has a slight problem in Douala, specifically 9G-BSM with high vibs on number two and another unspecified problem with number one.
Strangely enough (or maybe not) many of these operators do not embody any type of long term storage program when these airplanes are between 'assignments' and of course on the first couple of flights (or in this case, one) severe problems develop.
High vibes on number two is usually cured with a fan clapper lube and/or trim balance of the fan, but some don't know how to do this either.
What a shame.
