RYR possible engine failure at BCN

[alpha.charlie]

Ryanair FR6874 has just made an immediate return to BCN due to apparent engine failure.

Seemed to depart off 25L and then fly a left hand downwind to land 25R. Squawking 7700

Thank god there are people out there keeping an eye on this for me

Sounds like a job well done by the crew....... Now just how long will it take for the forum to turn this incident into a RYR bashing thread ?

Ryanair FR6874 has just made an immediate return to BCN due to apparent engine failure.Those apparent engines are always troublesome - give me a real one any day.

[FLCH]

As long as it doesn't go "off piste" I'm not bothered.

[barit1]

I wonder if they ever train the crew to handle an apparent engine failure? :rolleyes:

[philbky]

Sounds like the crew did what they were trained for and paid to do as crews around the world do well whenever this happens. Not that the truth will stop the Ryanair bashers, especially here in Ireland.

[alpha.charlie]

looks like they were struck by apparent birds...

[hans brinker]

At least the birds are allowed to strike, (although if it ended up in the engine it still got fired)

At least the birds are allowed to strike


Apparently they were of an Iberian plumage and on the protected species list.

Not those Spanish Ruddy Ducks again surely?

It appears the same frame (EI-EKW) had an apparent flaps failure en route LUZ last year and ended up diverted to WAW for an apparently high-speed, long rwy landing...:hmm:

[Deep and fast]

Jeez this aircraft suffers from a bad case of the apparentlys

[safelife]

Apparent flap? That is the amount of flap you thought you had, then?

[AnAussieNut]

The birds weren't the only things striking.:suspect:

Ryanair ? Bird Strike ? Oh yes, they had one of those in Ciampino once didn't they . . . . funny though that no report can be found on the website of the Italian accident investigators . . . however, I see in their inflight magazine they have an "unblemished safety record". . .so , I guess I just imagined it.

Ryanair bashing ? nope, assuredly not (I use them several times a month as a fare paying passenger) but, there are quite probably some safety lessons from the untraceable CIA accident that the rest of the aviation world could learn from.

Careful Capt play station.

The CIA accident was an unfortunate event that was exceptionally handled by a very well trained crew. The Captain did a great job landing as well as he did!

[Jwscud]

It says more about the impenetrable bureaucracy of the Italians than anything else as far as I can see.

ICAO? Accident reports? EASA? Italy ignores them all. Don't try asking for a visual either...

[jxf63]

The CIA was involved ? Goodness me :eek::eek:
