BC Tam 2 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 Apparently a MH flight en route BKI/KUL yesterday evening suffered engine failure and 'electrical disturbances' and had to return to BKI. Anyone able to confirm this and furnish details ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry Ang 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, my friend was one of the fortunate passenger. He was saying something like engine was vibrating or something. Not sure the whole story was. Will ask him tomorrow & get the details of it too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 B772 MRC doing BKI-KUL leg; I think a/c was from NRT. On climb approaching FL350 engine number 2 suffered higher vibration than normal. Engine was operated at idle and air turnback was made towards BKI. Approaching BKI the vibration gets worse and the engine was shut down. Aircraft was landed with single engine. Not sure if any fuel was dumped. The crew pax back to KUL with me today; the incident was told to me by the operating captain. Due to the incident MH sends in a B744 to BKI today. BKI spotters look out. The engine of MRC needs to be changed. A cargo aircraft will be needed, who knows what will carry the engine to BKI. Could be something very special....

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 Weehee... Interesting... What was likely the cause? Does MH have to pay for the engine itself, or is it insured? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mokhzani 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 I once sembang-sembang (talk) with a MAS ground engineer once, he told me (somehting like this) that this RR engine has certain limitations which in terms of power output must not be exceeded or it will cause a lot of problem. And that its not 100% reliable. Is this true.... ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 every engine has limitation. All we need to do is just like taking care of our "Car Engine"... Car is on the road, on the Ground..engine dies, car stop. Plane once inflight, IF "one" engine idle, or shutdown..still can fly with one "other" engine. No problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilber Tan 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 haiz..i think MAS B777 have engine problem. look at this one This photo is taken at Stockholm Arlanda Airport - ESSA Sweden remarks: About ten seconds after take off from runway 19R a lot of smoke and debris (the thrust reverser cowling lost pieces of fibre glass and insulation) comes out from engine #1. The 777 keeps on climbing and after what I heard on the scanner they didn't get any indications at first in cockpit, it was the tower that noticed them that they were trailing smoke. After a couple of minutes the pilots discovers problems with the engine and decides to return to Arlanda after dumping ~65 tons of fuel over the baltic sea.

Actually from what I heard, the person who took this photo called the authorities, who then informed the CT, who then contacted the pilots. Anyway back on topic, I agree that MH is having a problem with B777 engines. Isn't this now the 3rd incident in recent years? In any case, the 777 is still my favourite A/C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 It seems like BKI is not a good place for plane engines... We had two planes grounded (one MH and one Korean) there not too long ago... Now we have another MH 777 experiencing engine failure there... Anyone suspect some foul play or perhaps there is some weird magnetic field around BKI that would interrupt with engine performance?

Even CFM56 also has limitations. haiz..i think MAS B777 have engine problem. look at this one This photo is taken at Stockholm Arlanda Airport - ESSA Sweden This incident are not directly an engine failure.
