Boeing 737-8 Max engine issue forces emergency landing

Air Canada pilots reported the problem while test-flying Boeing's troubled jet. It's the latest setback for the model, which had been banned following two deadly crashes.
Air Canada Boeing 737 Max
A 20-month flight ban on the Boeing 737 Max was recently lifted by the US
During a test flight between Montreal and Arizona, an Air Canada Boeing 737-8 Max suffered an engine issue which prompted the pilots to make an emergency landing, aviation websites and the Reuters news agency reported on Friday.
Regulators across the world previously banned the plane due to its involvement in two deadly crashed in the past three years. The 20-month flight ban imposed by US authorities was only lifted last month.
The pilots testing the plane on Tuesday received an "engine indication" shortly after takeoff and "decided to shut down one engine," an Air Canada spokesman said an emailed statement to Reuters.
"The aircraft then diverted to Tucson, where it landed normally and remains," the statement said. The incident took place earlier this week.

Boeing - Deadly Assumptions
Belgian aviation news website Aviation24.be reported that the crew received a left engine hydraulic low pressure indication and declared a PAN PAN emergency — which signals there is an urgent problem but no immediate danger — before diverting the flight.
Major aviation disasters
The Boeing 737 Max was given the approval to resume US domestic flights late in December after software upgrades and additional pilot training. It is already back in service in Brazil.
Canada has yet to approve the revamped plane for passenger flights but has permitted test flights.
The two fatal crashes occurred in October 2018, when a Lion Air 737 Max nosedived into the sea off Indonesia, killing all 189 passengers and crew on board, and in Ethiopia in March 2019, when an Ethiopian Airlines flight came down southeast of the capital, Addis Adaba, killing all 157 people aboard. Both crashes happened shortly after takeoff.
Canada was one of the last countries to ground the model after the second crash.

This is what happens when FAA hands over checking QC and testing to Boeing itself.

FAA (and NHTSA) are just as much to blame as Boeing for this fiasco.

Damn the Boeing leadership for getting greedy and playing hooky with the jobs and livelihoods of good honest Boeing workers in Seattle.

FAA are under boeing pressure to do that. Boeing influence are far powerful in US than we can imagine.

In Boeing factory, the whistleblower who is former inspector of Boeing, told the media that, Boeing hired people from Subway, and those subway staff hammered the screws in.

Imagine the U.S. media frenzy if just a single instance of a single issue of this huge scandal had been reported about CASC.

Another rush job to earn profit at expense of safety.

Made in China plane is safer than made in US Max, flying coffin.

What made in China aircraft are you talking about?

The Aljazeera report is shocking on the 787 to say the least. "Dreamliner not build to fly but to sell" from a Boeing worker. With the 737 Max 8 we already knew the problem won't be fixed within Months, the ban has been in effect for almost 2 years now only a crazy low cost Brazilian carrier resumed it before the American Airlines. China is rightfully not lifting the ban. Boeing continuing destroying itself, better fly Airbus and Comac, i put more trust on the future C929 where schedule is not prioritized over quality. China and Russia must never make that kind of mistake with the introduction of this new challenger.

I m very, very nervous about this plane. Boeing being a big shot and with too much at stake will try to push for resumption of flights. On the other hand, what Boeing did initially compromising on quality of the plane to beat competition and cut cost will keep haunting us or might event take a few more lives, God forbid.

I m very reluctant to fly this plane.

Bless the ignorant. Where is made in India passenger jet that meet international safety standard? Zero... :lol:

:rofl:

You must think we are rubes here on PDF by comparing ARJ121, which is barely operational, to a 737, an aircraft with a long legacy and one of the world’s best-selling aircraft.

Plus, the ARJ121 is powered by GE engines and equipped with Rockwell Collins avionics. Perhaps should ground the aircraft and replace shoddy American components with superior Chinese technology.
