Incident: France A343 at Douala on Nov 28th 2017, engine shut down
in flight, reports of fire in Cameroon media
An Air France Airbus A340-300, registration F-GLZU performing flight
AF-953 (sched. dep Nov 27th, act. dep Nov 28th) from Douala (Cameroon) to Paris
Charles de Gaulle (France), was climbing out of Douala shortly after takeoff
when the #1 engine (CFM56, outboard left hand) stalled prompting the crew to
stop the climb, shut the engine down, dump fuel and return to Douala for a safe
landing. Emergency services attended to the aircraft and checked the
engine.
One Cameroon media reported that passengers observed the aircraft began dumping fuel, then an fire erupted that prompted the crew to immediately return to Douala, fire engines put the fire out after landing. Air France did not comment. This report was taken over by practically any Cameroon media outlet. The report does not mention any noises. An engine stall usually emits a loud bang as well as streaks of flame. |
