Description:

CZ 06 329 EN

On July 19, 2006, the AAII was notified by the operator of a serious incident involving the OK – CEC airplane during its take off from Rijeka Airport (LDRI). When the plane was taking off, the left engine experienced an uncommented shut down (IFSD), ejecting hot metal parts. As the speed was higher than V1 the captain decided to complete take off with one engine only. The separated hot metal parts of the engine set the grass surface of LDRI aerodrome on fire, putting it out of service for 50 minutes. Since the captain could not land safely at LSRI, he accepted the offer by ATCO LDRI to make a safety landing on the nearest airport PULA (LDPL). The flight ended safely on the alternate aerodrome. There were no other damages to the aircraft and no passengers were injured during the incident.
