SINGAPORE - Passengers on a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight bound for Shanghai on Saturday had a bit of a scare when both engines experienced a temporary loss of power amid bad weather.
The incident occurred at 39,000 ft about 3.5 hours after Flight SQ836, operated by an Airbus A330-300, left Changi Airport.
"Both engines experienced a temporary loss of power and the pilots followed operational procedures to restore normal operation of the engines" said the airline's spokesman.
The flight with 182 passengers and 12 crew on board continued to Shanghai and touched down safely at 10.56pm local time, he added.
The engines were thoroughly inspected and tested upon arrival in Shanghai with no anomalies detected.
SIA is reviewing the incident with engine maker, Rolls-Royce and Airbus.

Read this news this morning and it send chills down my spine. They found no problems with the engine which makes me wonder if SIA will use the plane for the return flight? :o[:/] [:/]

Scary especially for some who takes this flight!

 

I don't like Airbus, Boeing is better

 

The new batch of Airbus purchased around 2 years back already like quite old and noisy, not as good as Boeing ones

For 2 engines to die simultaneously, it is usually nothing related to the engine itself.

 

The possible outcome are:

 

Lose of fuel feed to the engines

Weather conditions (not enough oxygen in the engines to ignite the fuel)

 

It seems that upon initial checks in Shanghai the aircraft exhibit no mechanical issues plus the engines managed to be reignited at lower altitude. This points to me with weather as the likely cause but then we have to wait for investigation report.

 

Previous simultaneous loss of both engines are due to aircraft running out of fuel or the aircraft flying into volcanic ash clouds which results in engine dying due to lack of oxygen to ignite the fuel mix.

Wonder if they made an announcement to the passengers or just restart and keep quiet.

 

If both main engines shut down suddenly, does the APU kick in immediately? Can the on board batteries power all the electrics? Wondering if in such a case, do the lights dim, TV screens go off etc.
