ENGINE FIRE ON TAKEOFF | Air Canada B777 Emergency Return to Toronto!

05/JUN/2024
Air Canada B777 performing flight from Toronto to Paris was lifting off on takeoff when the right hand engine caught fire forcing the pilots to reduce power on that engine declaring a PANPAN to return as soon as possible.

[@m4nu507]

People wondering why just a PAN PAN and not a MAYDAY, comes down captain judgement, if it’s not an imminent life threatening situation there’s no need for a MAYDAY call. By the looks of it was just a compressor stall, you can hear the pilot tell atc that hey had to reduce thrust to control the compressor stall on that engine, no engine shutdown at that point. Can’t tell if they landed single engine but doesn’t looks like they shutdown that engine at any point. Biggest threat seemed the weather, runway wet, overweight landing with all that fuel going to Paris and no fuel jettison done, brake temperature after landing and most likely a bit of asymmetric thrust depending how much they had to reduce the thrust on that engine.

If a Boeing 747 loses an engine it may not even be a pan pan depending on the airline.

One question - don't they have to dump fuel given they were flying to Paris. Should have been a very heavy landing?

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

Yes, I believe they had to fly a holding pattern to dump fuel (2/3 of the way through this video AC872 got told to hold just outside the Runway 23 localizer, so that they weren't overweight when they were ready to take everybody back to Pearson.)

[@VASAviation]

Not necessarily if they were already below their Max Landing Weight. Or they can just perform an overweight landing (landing above the max weight permitted).

[@VASAviation]

[@cessna177flyer3]

Twin engine transport category airplanes are certified to fly on one engine, so there is no rush to land immediately. The crew needs time to complete the checklist for the non-normal (compressor stall) and determine what other systems might be affected. They may need to re-configure the airplane for single engine operation (eg. Start the APU, etc.). Then they need to compute the landing weight in order to plug it into the computer to compute the landing distance. Based on that, the crew then decide which airport and runway will result in the lowest-risk landing based on things such as runway length, and weather, to include winds. If the crew decide to utilize autoland, wind limits and system limits must be reviewed and briefed. If the crew decides to dump fuel, that checklist needs to be run and the dump needs to be coordinated with ATC. If an overweight landing is determined to be the best course of action, there is a checklist for that as well. Then the approach charts need to pulled up and the approach needs to be loaded into the FMS and briefed by the crew. Then the crew needs to run the IN RANGE, APPROACH, and BEFORE LANDING checklists. All this while communicating with ATC, the Cabin Crew, and Dispatch. It takes a while.

Not particularly, handled exactly as it should have been which meant no-one was harmed, just delayed/inconvenienced. Doesn’t look like a developed fire, more like a compressor stall. If it was a fire then they’d discharge the extinguisher to put it out, and they were never far from the airport/help. Doesn’t seem particularly dangerous at all, maybe alarming for passengers but I’ve no doubt the crew will have communicated and reassured passengers. Still far more likely to die on your way to the airport 🤷‍♂️

Crazy how this happens after Boeng tries to silence whistleblowers on quality control.

Nothing to do with Boeing haha

[@SpinWave]

Boeing planes are jot reliable. Enough is enough. way too many mishaps for a safe industry. a in depth review is severely needed. this is not a game of greed. Hundreds of lives are st stake in every flight

[@EdOeuna]

The engine is made by General Electric. Nothing to do with Boeing.

Another reason not to fly air canada! The worst airline in the world!

[@HWFlussy]

No real surprise there, 1 it's a Scare Canada flight and 2 it's a Boeing, so 2 strikes against it.
