Safety Concerns Prompt Urgent Directive Over Dual In-Flight Shutdown Risk
European and US regulators have issued an urgent directive warning of potential safety risks associated with oil pump concerns on older A330s and 777s equipped with Trent engines. The directive orders the de-pairing of these engines to prevent the risk of dual in-flight shutdown. This move is likely to impact operators of these aircraft, who may face increased maintenance costs and potential disruptions to flight operations. The directive was reported by FlightGlobal.
