ynwa, welcome to PPRuNe. Be advised that non-events, such as this, are generally met with derision. It's nothing out of the ordinary and doesn't merit a post. It won't be the only a/c today that shut an engine down and made a precautionary landing. Worldwide, it probably happens several times a day, every day.

"EgyptAir warned to improve safety or face EU blacklisting.
London 17Jul09
EgyptAir has been warned so many times that it risks inclusion on the European Commission's blacklist of banned airlines unless it addresses serious concerns in several areas of its operation.
In a detailed assessment of its recent blacklist revision, the Commission states that 75 inspections since January last year turned up 240 individual safety findings, including 69 in the highest of the three classifying categories.
The Commission expressed "serious concern" to the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority in May 2009, regarding "systemic safety deficiencies" at the flag-carrier.
It says the "Persistence of Serious Findings" in areas such as airworthiness, maintenance, operations and the safety of cargo on board has prompted a request for monthly reports, from Egyptian authorities, on implementation of a corrective action plan.
EgyptAir submitted extensive documentation detailing remedial action during June, says the Commission, and made a presentation to the European air safety committee two weeks ago!!
As a result the Commission says it is not blacklisting the carrier "at this stage".
But it adds that it has "urged" EgyptAir to provide "without delay" for the sustainable resolution of the various findings, "failing which, appropriate measures will have to be taken"
Inspections of the airline are to be intensified and the air safety committee will review the carrier's position in November 2009. EgyptAir could not immediately be reached for comment,please some one have to do something before a disaster could happen again at any time,maybe Boeing & Airbus
