sanukjim Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think it says something that the plane was over two hours into the flight when the trouble was spotted, and they flew all the way back rather than land somewhere closer, Lack of confidence in the options?

khaosai Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Will be interesting to see the actual facts the crew were faced with and which most likely determined their decision making. Was it oil or fuel related. The company stated an oil warning indication. Oil pressure, temperature and quantity are secondary engine indications on the B777. There is no warning for oil related issues. A reducing oil quantity will cause the secondary engine indications to pop up automatically. At this stage there is no action required from the crew. Airmanship will however dictate a plan of action in case the situation worsens. Low oil pressure is caution message and requires the engine to be shut down. High oil temperature is an advisory message and requires the thrust to be reduced to try and reduce the oil temperature. If that doesn't work over a certain period of time then the engine needs to be shut down. Once an engine has been shut down the crew should divert to the nearest suitable airport in terms of time. The definition of suitable does however vary from crew to crew. Weather will be a factor in that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
