Not that it really matters but on the 330 if you lose an engine it only effects one hyd sys. The green system has two engine driven pumps so remains pressurised and the a/c stays in normal law and can do a cat 3A. Your talking about the 320 and even then you don't get a double system failure as the ptu keeps at least two systems running and therefore in normal law. Can also auto land but I think it's CAT 2, haven't flown it in ages.

attention getter...
 

I´m still wondering why this very serious incident attracts so less attention as we´re talking about a double hyd fail, engine fail and supposedly an engine fire (not to mention all the associated secondary failures).

The incident has been dealt with by two former LTU-330-drivers, which makes the incident interesting as well.

I´m not sure if nowadays drivers would have been able to save the day with this redicoulus safety standard established by the LCCs.
And I´m not just talking about 2x2 vs. 4x4 hours Sim per year...


(For the younger colleagues: LTU was activ in the heydays of aviation and the company was well known for an excellent training standard provided towards cockpit AND cabin.)

At the airline I worked for we had PILOTS on flight deck, as far as I know those braving the elements there today are still called PILOTS.

Indeed loc,
one of the disadvantages of Mixed Fleet Flying. You sometimes mix things up.

The A330 stays in Alternate law. One problem less.
Thanks for straightening this out.

Cabus, you are right in General but not in this case. I reconfirm. An engine failure ( uncontained ) with loss of green system on top. Meaning; one engine out and blue + green hyd inop. Just take this as a fact please. Do not see it as a standard Airbus failure. The reality is often different as in a standard sim session.

Indeed. A failure of the LPT.
