Aussie airline gets 2nd scare
Print Edition
A regional Australian airline plane made an emergency landing yesterday after the pilot was forced to shut down an engine, barely a week after a propeller fell off another aircraft mid-flight.
The Regional Express plane carrying 23 passengers was heading to Sydney when a warning light came on in the cockpit, with the pilot managing to safely return to the town of Dubbo, the carrier said.
“We were about 10 minutes out of Dubbo and all of a sudden there was this big loud noise and a shaking of the aeroplane,” passenger Tim Evans told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
“I happened to be in a seat just next to the engine and I saw these flames come out of the engine.
“Then it did another big bang and a shake of the plane and all of these embers came out of the engine and I looked at the propeller and it was clear the engine had stopped.”
