Monarch A321 Engine Failure.
 

From ITV CEEFAX :-

A passenger jet has made an emergency landing at Stansted Airport after the pilots reported engine trouble.

Rescue crews were put om full alert as the Monarch holiday flight bound for Teneriefe diverted there a few minutes after take off from Luton.

Police said the Airbus A321 with 319 passengers on board landed safely 20 minutes later with no injuries.


Well done to the Monarch crew! Glad it all went well.

Eff Oh.

319 Pax? another good load then... :D

I guess 219 pax would be closer to the mark.

Awaiting further media reports....

D'OH! :D
Quite right, finger trouble sorry! :o That should be 219!
Eff Oh. :D

Thread is entitled "Monarch A321 Engine Failure" - we know that to be a fact?

Any more details why it failed ?

Was it CFM or IAE ??

V2500 engine Monarch A321 G-OJEG.

TAILCHASER:- Gimme a break!? I had thought that the title was wrong just after I posted it. However I thought that no-one would be sensitive enough to point it out! NO is the answer to your question! I dont know if it was a failure!

Do you want me to change it, until we find out he facts? I will if it causes anyone any problems.
Eff Oh.

BBC News article can be found here:

Airbus in emergency landing

It is an accurate report of the events.

Seems the punters were rescued by Cougars big cat !! ;)

Sorry Viking, but could you translate that into English please, or did you have to be there? ;)

I will translate for you WTHWT!! The passangers were taken to the terminal re-boarded on a Cougar (BIG CAT PAINTWORK) B727 and flown to their destination. UNDERSTAND NOW :D :D :D :p :eek:

Max Steel,
B757 big a/c with black and yellow on it. I can give you the reg for your book if you want. :D

Now it makes sense ;)

That reminds me, I was sitting at 26L hold @ LGW a couple a weeks ago and saw Cougar's Big Cat on short finals. He then proceded to make one of the WORST landings I've ever been lucky enough to watch. I've never seen anyone bounce a 727 before! Even ATC made a comment it was that good! I've done a few cruchers before, but witnessing that was classic.

Anybody here going to be brave enough to own up to it? :)

Quote from the BBC: "The aircraft was an Airbus 321, a different type of jet to the Airbus A300 which crashed in New York on Monday."

In fact the A321 is a different type of jet to many other well known jets that have crahed :p

Reference rough landings:

If everyone walked away I'll be happy to own up to it! :cool:

Sadly this was one occasion Cougar's Big Cat was unavailable to help the stranded TFS passengers. Someone else took them on Holiday. :(

I thought that Cougar was a cargo outfit. Were the pax containerised? :D :D

Regards le loup garou

Why does the BBC have to resort to tabloid style reporting when an Airbus is involved in an accident? The article on Airbus reliability, where past accidents are listed by date and location, conveys the message to the uninitiated that the Airbus is an unsafe product. It fails to mention the fact that in 29 years of Airbus operations, there have been 15 fatal accidents, 14 out of which have been attributed to pilot error. The last accident involving AA 578 is the only one that may prove to have been caused by mechanical failure. :(
