Corsair

RE: Corsair

Apologies,it was an A330-200.

Saab2000,
Corsair, does not have an A 340-500/600 just yet, so it is impossible that the fire alarm was on a Trent engine 🙂 It must have been the CFM56 engine of the A 340-200/300 that had a fire alarm!! 🙂

RE: Corsair

Hand87_5,I have some more info for you:
It made an emergancy landing at ORY after a fire alarm on a Trent engine rang.Many witnesses say the plane had difficulties coming back and was flying at 300 meters high maximum,terrifying local residents.
Experts are beginning to say an overload and heat were the cause of the difficulties of the plane.

RE: Corsair

oppps…..it´s a Corsair plane…not Crossair. I got confused.

RE: Corsair

What´s going on with Crossair lately?.

RE: Corsair

Here you go,i’ve translated it from a French site so some of this may not be correct.

The aircraft at very low altitude had just taken off from Orly.Due to techincal problems it made a half-turn back for Orly on Monday evening.It was noticed by the inhabitents of a town called Brunoy how were concerned by the noise this aircraft was making,
At 19H30,the scheduled departure time of the aircraft,a significant number inhabitants of Brunoy went in to the streets because of the noise, wondering what was happening.A local resident said,”The plane had obviously got a problem with its engines,”It is indicated that this plane was a Corsair A340 (CRL910) bound for Saint Denis de la Réunion. The plane, “upon an exceptional technical problem”, followed a half-turn little after its takeoff to return to Orly, according to airport sources which did not give more precise details.
