Ladkin RVS Group, University of Bielefeld ladkin at rvs.uni-bielefeld.de November 18, 2004 1 The Flight On 24 August, 2001, Air Transat Flight 236, an Airbus A330-243 aircraft was ying from Toronto to Lisbon over the Atlantic Ocean at 4244N/2305W when At 05:48 UTC, when the crew ascertained that a fuel leak could be the reason for the possible fuel loss, an emergency was declared to Santa Maria Oceanic Control. Since the occurrence, on 29 August 2001, Rolls-Royce issued a World Wide Communication The transferred fuel was lost through the fractured fuel line, which was leaking at about one gallon per second. This map shows the airport of departure and the intended destination of the flight.

Emergency landing of Air Transat Flight TS 236 on August 24, 2001 Background document for journalists In August 2001, an Air Transat aircraft flying from Toronto to Lisbon, carrying 293 passengers and a crew of 13, suffered a serious fuel leak. The Airbus A330 ran out of fuel due to a fuel leak caused by improper maintenance. Micro-summary: Following an undetected fuel leak, this A330-243 had to dead-stick to a successful landing. Because the anti-skid and brake modulation systems were inoperative, the eight The investigation revealed that the cause of the accident was a fuel leak in the #2 engine, caused by an incorrect part installed in the Pilot error was also listed as one of the lead causes of the accident (for failing to identify the fuel leak, for neglecting to shut down crossfeed after first engine flame out, as well as for failing to follow standard operating procedure in possibly more than one case). Eight of the plane's ten tyres burst during the landing. Air Transat flight TSC236 was planned to depart CYYZ at 00:10 UTC1, with 47.9 metric tons of fuel, which included a 5.5 tons over and above the fuel required by regulations for the planned flight; the actual take-off time was at 00:52 with a reported 46.9 tons of fuel on board. Nevertheless, the pilots returned to a heroes' welcome from the Canadian press as a result of their successful unpowered landing. Air Transat Flight 236 was a transatlantic flight bound for Lisbon, Portugal, from Toronto, Canada, that lost all engine power while flying over the Atlantic Ocean on August 24, 2001. Air Transat Flight 236 took off from Toronto, bound for Lisbon on August 24, 2001. A flight miracle in 2001 shocked the world when a plane managed to land without fuel or engine power.
At 06:26, when the aircraft was about 85 nm from Lajes and at an altitude of about FL345, the left engine flamed out. An engines-out visual approach was carried out and the aircraft landed on runway 33.
