Aer Lingus Engine Problem
From RTE News Dublin
Aer Lingus flight experiences engine problem
Friday, 14 May 2010 09:31
Aer Lingus has confirmed that a flight which left Orlando at 6.25pm local time yesterday destined for Dublin developed engine problems shortly after take-off.
The plane returned to Orlando and landed safely. There were no injuries.
Passengers were accommodated in a hotel overnight.
Engineers are evaluating the engine to try and identify the source of the problem.
Aer Lingus says there is nothing to suggest any connection with volcanic ash.
If the aircraft is serviceable by 6.25pm local time this evening, it will be used to bring the passengers to Ireland.
If it is not serviceable, Aer Lingus will use a different aircraft.

Seems indication of oil loss from #1.

Not quite sure why it should affect their ETOPS, or are you saying that no twin engined aircraft should have ETOPS capability.?
As long as it is able to reach land in the event of an engine being shut down within a designated time and distance [can't remember details,] then no problem.
Remember that BA 319's fly the Atlantic every day from London City., via Ireland. A.330 has MUCH longer range than that.

JEM60, where a powerplant fails an operator with 180mins etops can be reduced to say 120mins by the regulatory authorities pending investigation especially by the powerplant manufactuers namely GE here in this case. Its not as happy days as you think.
lots of distractions from the cabin calls I hear as they are securing the engine.

ROGER, ARE YOU DECLARING AN EMERGENCY?
'Pan'?
Most likely the US air traffic controller would think you were referring to a frying pan.
Get used to it, folks, it ain't likely to change anytime soon.
PS: the same for the local altimeter setting (QNH)....it will be in inches of mercury.
When you are as large a country as the United States, you can do as you like.
And, we generally do.

How do you explain 10-1-1 (b) in a document produced by the FAA for US ATC?
Chapter 10. Emergencies

It is generally ignored at the local tower/tracon level.
IF you want expedited handling in the USA, one needs to say....we are declaring an emergency.
IE: go with the flow if you want assistance.
NB.
I have done so one time only, an engine fire in a DC-3 just after takeoff, long ago.
When the controller hears 'emergency', magic things happen.
Other air traffic is re-routed.
Fire and rescue services roll on command.
And, most important...the air traffic controller clearly understands that you desire urgent assistance.
Mayday?
Pan?
A waste of time in the USA.
Don't like this arrangement?
Fly somewhere else.
If US air carrier pilots have to put up with some of the nonsense served up by the UK air traffic control (as just one example, very late landing clearances at LHR), then UK aircarrier pilots will just have do as they are told....here.

Bizarre to say the least.
