At 09:15, while descending through 15,000 feet (4,600 m), the low oil pressure indicator on the TriStar's number 2 engine illuminated. [2] The flight engineer noted that the oil pressure on the #2 engine was fluctuating between 15 and 25 psi ; the minimum pressure required for normal engine operation was 30 psi. [ 7 ]
Following an engine shutdown, a precautionary landing is usually performed with airport fire and rescue equipment positioned near the runway. The prompt landing is a precaution against the risk that another engine will fail later in the flight or that the engine failure that has already occurred may have caused or been caused by other as-yet unknown damage or malfunction of aircraft systems ...
Flight 9, a Douglas DC-2-172 (NC14979, Ship #330), crashed while on approach to Chicago Municipal Airport in strong winds while flying on one engine; all 15 on board survived. The left engine was shut down due to unexplained oil pressure problems.
In cold ambient conditions the friction caused by viscous engine oil causes a high load on the starting system. Another problem is the reluctance of the fuel to vaporise and combust at low temperatures. Oil dilution systems were developed (mixing fuel with the engine oil), [8] and engine pre-heaters were used (including lighting fires under the ...
In recent years the airport has had an increase in non-Delta flights, both due to the rapid population growth of Metro Atlanta and the airport's prominence as a major hub. Since 2015 the airport has seen growth from low cost carriers such as Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines. Spirit also established Atlanta as an operating base.
Just Stop Oil supporters who blocked departure gates at Gatwick Airport have been arrested and are being removed, the airport has said. Seven people entered the South Terminal at around 8am and ...
Donald Trump has promised to "drill, baby, drill" to halve energy costs, a plan that sends shivers through the governments of emerging market oil producers anxious about dollar earnings and fills ...
Indications of low oil pressure may be that the warning light is on, a low pressure reading on the gauge, or clattering/clinking noises from the engine. Low oil pressure is a problem that must be addressed immediately to prevent serious damage. The leading cause of low oil pressure in an engine is wear on the engine's vital parts.
