PIA Incident at JED / OEJN

[kingair9]

German aviation magazine Aero is reporting on their website an incident with PIA 743 at JED/OEJN.

http://www.aero.de/news.php?varnewsid=4057

According to the article, already on Monday after t/o at an altitude of approx. 1000ft engine parts starting separating from one engine and a fire alarm was caused. Upon landing about 20mins later some (report suggests all) tyres blew.

There are also reports that upon landing all engines were out.

One board 412 pax and 12 crew.

Well, Aero is the "tabloid" of German aviation magazines, so better take everything with a pinch of salt there - but I have not seen anything about this incident here at pprune - or have I missed it? If yes, please excuse and close this thread.

Saw this in the Bahrain Tribune (via A.net):

Not the best written article (all four tyres flat?!), but confirms the basics. Acft seems to have taxied off under its own power.

From the Bahrain Tribune
The runway was clear because the plane landed at taxiway.

from the Tribune article

The runway was clear because the plane landed at taxiway.

Surely thid doesn't mean they landed on the taxiway does it?

Whats been said is correct....Taxiway B has been temporarily renamed as 34R....34L is used for T/O.....34C for landing .....34R is over on the military side but is under repair....thus the taxiway B which is adjacent to 34R is being used as 34R which is where he landed....also 4 tyres blew on landing.

did the tyres really blow or just thermal due to a
overweight/heavy landing :confused:

maybe they mean all four bogies rather than all 4 wheels

[Nippon1]

I suspect it was a heavy landing as he would have been under max landing weight......he was returning to KHI.

I was able to see at least 4 flat tyres as we taxied past
