The List Gets Longer

A Northwest Airlines flight bound for Minot, N.D., aborted takeoff Monday when flames were seen shooting from an engine, KSTP-TV reported.

The DC-9 aborted takeff about 9 a.m. No one was hurt. Passengers exited the plane after it was towed back to the gate, airport spokesman Patrick Hogan said.

"It was basically just an engine failure,'' he told The Associated Press.

Northwest spokesman Kurt Ebenhoch would not describe what led to the aborted takeoff. He said the flight's 64 passengers were placed on another flight to Minot.

Northwest has been operating with replacement mechanics since union mechanics went on strike in late August.

On Sunday, the Star Tribune reported that FAA inspection reports filed during the first month of the strike showed several examples of mistakes by the replacements. Northwest said it remained confident in the quality of the mechanics' work, but the airline has acknowledged that it conducted "refresher training'' for replacements to make sure they're properly documenting their work

......and a certain poster to this board will say that its "normal" and these things happen daily to all airlines at all airports. I hate to say it, but NWA has surpassed The Law Of Average with incidents. yep just another "normal" emergency!

Just maybe PTO should have checked the intake(front part of the motor where the air enters ...PTO) for that dead bird even though as he stated its the FO's job.

DEAD BIRD are you putting DEAD BIRDS in the intakes again?

DEAD BIRD do you find it interesting that the FAA is no longer concernd with the SCABS maintenance skills but is concentrating on the paperwork.

 

[robbedagain]

why would the FAA be no longer concerned about the maintaince procedures now and focus on the paperwork? the way NWA has been lately, they are a disaster waiting tohappen and if the FAA took their concerns off one thing, it will cost them dearly just like the souls on board the fateful flight. hopefully it wont happen though.

The FAA is satisfied with the way that the scabs are performing the maintnance on Northwests fleet. The only issues that they can now gig us on is the paperwork. The guys are learning the system and are improving everyday. It won't be long you will see the FAA reducing their numbers here.

I was wondering why the plane had to be towed from the runway? couldnt they have taxied from the runway to the gate under one engine running?

Hey PTO (SCAB),

With SCABS like you, the FAA needs to increase their inspections by 110%!

SCAB-SCAB-SCAB-SCAB-SCAB-SCAB-SCAB-SCAB-SCAB-SCAB!!!

Why are there multiple fire bottles attached to every engine on every aircraft?

in case of an engine fire! it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that out. all jets have that in each engine. in fact they have at least 2 of them.
