Yet another uncontained engine failure
China Eastern flight MU736 out of SYD for PVG last night experienced an uncontained left (port) engine failure shortly after take off from Rwy 34L at approx. 10:40 UTC (20:40 local) Sunday 11th June, returning safely to SYD after spending some time off the coast before landing. This departure takes it initially out over the inner western city suburbs and they were indeed fortunate the starboard engine seemed to perform flawlessly.
A China Eastern flight from Sydney to Shanghai has been forced to turn around after engine failure caused a mid-air emergency.
The flight can be tracked here: https://www.flightradar24.com/2017-0...x/-33.9,150.93 (please let me know if this isn't the case)
Aircraft details: Airbus A330-243, Reg B-6099, Hex 78045d, Build 2008, Engines 2 x RR Trent 772B-60
'Channel 7’s Sunrise is reporting that residence (sic) in the south-west Sydney area of Macarthur reported a low-flying aircraft and “a banging noise” overhead.'
Thick fog here this morning is affecting flights so I'm not sure if any parts are likely to be found, if any exist.
****There's now audio available of the initial exchange between pilot communicating and ATC to advise them of the issue. ATC ask twice (in order to make sure they've heard correctly), then want a tad more 'technical' information before advising to climb to 5,000 ft whilst continuing present heading;
I'm not convinced the pilot had the slang term for 'broken' pronounced quite correctly or that ATC were too impressed. As we are aware ATC need as much detail as possible in order to organise and render any and all assistance to the pilots. This controller has come as close as he can to a rebuke bearing in mind their predicament. What was said in the crew room afterwards and will be in the following investigations would be interesting to know.

ATSB releases Jetstar tail strike report
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has released its report into a tail strike incident involving a Jetstar Airbus A320 taking off from Melbourne on May 11 2016.
The tail strike, which occurred when a cadet pilot applied an excessive sidestick input during rotation, took place on Jetstar Airbus A320 VH-VGF which was departing Melbourne bound for Hobart carrying 134 passengers and seven crew.
It was the cadet pilot’s first flight as the pilot flying. Alongside him in the flightdeck was a training captain in the left seat and a safety pilot in the jump seat.
The ATSB’s final report, published on Monday, said the cadet pilot applied the larger than normal sidestick pitch input which resulted in a higher than normal pitch rate and the aircraft rotated “significantly faster than usual”.
An interesting comment following the article- should there be some kind of indication in the cockpit of a tail strike? Also that the pilots should have notified ATC once the knew there was such an incident, for the reasons discussed.YSSY2/T-YSSY4 [SBS-1 Basestation w/- SSE-1090 SJ Mk2 Antenna (Thanks Delcomp) ] [Uniden UBCD996T w/- 16 element Wideband Discone VHF/UHF Antenna, and tuned 108MHz-137MHz Airband Antenna] [Trialing a home-brew 1090MHz collinear antenna]

Here's one we can scrub from the database after a crash yesterday afternoon;
The pilot and passenger of a light aircraft escape serious injuries after an emergency landing in a Sydney park, which ended with one wing snapping off and narrowly avoiding homes.
VH-BDB. Just when you're getting used to seeing it on the map!
The pilot of a light aircraft and their sole passenger have walked away without serious injuries after an emergency landing in a Sydney park, which ended with one wing snapping off.
Emergency crews were called to Hoxton Park, in the city's western suburbs, just after 3:00pm after the light plane was forced to make an emergency landing.
It came to rest in trees not far from homes in the nearby suburb of West Hoxton.
Police believe the aircraft took off from Bankstown Airport and was returning after experiencing engine trouble.
Pictures showed the plane badly damaged with one wing broken off, after it attempted to land in an open field.
The two 29-year-old men were on a training flight, with one suffering a minor finger injury, police said.Last edited by fungus; 2017-09-20, 02:31.YSSY2/T-YSSY4 [SBS-1 Basestation w/- SSE-1090 SJ Mk2 Antenna (Thanks Delcomp) ] [Uniden UBCD996T w/- 16 element Wideband Discone VHF/UHF Antenna, and tuned 108MHz-137MHz Airband Antenna] [Trialing a home-brew 1090MHz collinear antenna]
