MAX med problemer etter lagring - Curt Lewis

 

Det er ganske åpenbart at det kan oppstå problemer under langtidslagring av en ny type fly. Vel, ikke helt ny akkurat, men motorene er neppe av en type en har særlig erfaring med etter langtidslagring. Det er saken. (Red.)

Incident: Canada B38M near Tucson on Dec 22nd 2020, hydraulic fault and fuel imbalance, engine shut down in flight An Air Canada Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration C-FSNQ performing positioning flight AC-2358 from Pinal Airpark Marana,AZ (USA) to Montreal,QC (Canada) with 3 crew, was enroute when the crew received a left engine (LEAP) hydraulic low pressure indication. The crew worked the related checklists, consulted with dispatch and maintenance, and decided to continue to Montreal. A short time later the crew received indication of a fuel imbalance from the left hand wing, shut the left hand engine down, declared PAN PAN and diverted to Tucson,AZ (USA) for a safe landing on runway 11L about 80 minutes after departure. The Canadian TSB reported the aircraft was brought to a stop, inspected by safety vehicles and was subsequently escorted to the apron.
