Please explain – Nah, don’t bother.
There, in half a dozen short, accurate sentences the ATSB report is complete – so why all the fluff and nonsense about flight crew actions – they followed SOP – end of. So how can this be a ‘final’ report? This ‘report’ is fatuous and contributes SFA to the overall safety of the SAAB fleet. We really need to know why there was a lack of lubrication to the #4 bearing. There are lots of #4 bearings in service.
All this bollocks about what the bloody flight crew did is, IMO, deliberately drawing attention away from the radical cause of the incident; I wonder why ATSB has taken to salting their puerile, trite little offerings with this type of non essential rubbish. Captains comments – WTD – why publish that? What purpose can it possibly serve? A straight forward engine shut down and return to land; surrounded by umpteen miles of fluff and little substance.
Please explain how this report can be considered adequate; let alone ‘final’. Bucket please.
Toot – bollocks – toot – bollocks – toot, toot, toot…..
Quote:There were no injuries, while the aircraft suffered minor damage.
The ATSB report said an initial engineering examination found the number four bearing on the right hand engine failed.
“The bearing failure allowed the high pressure compressor to move off-centreline within the engine. This caused further damage and led to complete failure of the engine,” the ATSB said.
“The damage to the failed bearing was consistent with overheating due to a lack of lubrication. At the time of the release of this report, the reason for the lack of lubrication to the number four bearing had not been determined.”
The ATSB said the engine manufacturer’s engineering examination of the failed engine was not completed at the time its final report into the incident was released.
The Saab 340B is powered by two General Electric CT7-9B turboprop engines.
