Aer Corps jet makes emergency landing


An Aer Corps jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Kerry today.

The warning lights came on in the cockpit of the Cessna aircraft which had been on routine sea patrol.

This forced the crew to make the emergency landing at Farranfore.

Although one of the main engines was shut down as a precaution the plane landed safely and no one was injured.

Aircraft engineers from Baldonnel are now examining the jet.

And we dont have "Cessna Jets", My guess here is it was one of the CASA's.

this is a little better http://news.ie.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=155061822

Then again the media always blow things out of proportion,I remember about 14 years ago there was an emergency on a spanish charter flight to Ireland.
The headlines on one of the red top rags was we thought we were going die as there was a incident on the acft and wait for it the flight crew did not speak ENGLISH.
I mean ffs english is the standard language in the aviation industry.

Now thats better media.

Is the other CASA still WFU?? If so are the IAC playing with fire by using just one CASA?

About 5-6 years ago Westlife were on an EI flight from LHR which hit moderate turbulence. A few pax thrown around, no injuries, plane descended quickly to get out of it. The next day one of them was interviewed in the Sun/Star, "I thought we were going to die" I knew one of the cabin crew, no big thing whatsoever.

At Kerry too, thats why im wondering are we only Operating on now? Smoke in the Cabin AFAIK.

Yup it was:

28 Apr 2010
An Air Corps aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing today after smoke was discovered in its cabin.

The CASA aircraft, which had been on maritime patrol off the south-west coast, was diverted to Kerry Airport at about 10.55am.

A specialist team was deployed from Baldonnel in Dublin to carry out a technical examination of the aircraft, which landed without incident.

A Defence Forces spokesman said all six crew were safe and well.

Maritime Patrol aircraft CASA "Charlie 252" made a successful emergency landing in Kerry airport earlier today having conducted a precautionary engine shutdown procedure. The six crew, three hours into a routine maritime patrol approximately 100nm off the West Coast were alerted to a problem associated with the engine bleed air system. The nature of the emergency called for a precautionary engine shutdown. The crew then diverted to Kerry where a successful single engine landing was performed. Well done to the patrol crew and to the Air traffic and Emergency services at Kerry on a successful conclusion. An Air Corps technical team is currently examining the cause of the incident. The patrol was the 264th to date in 2010

Right now 252 is still sitting on the old runway at Kerry Airport. I wouldn't want to do any major work on that plane outside in the current kind of weather, just as I left a pretty heavy hail shower came down. Note the tricolour on the tail.

They broke our tri-colour

The tail reminds me of putting together airfix stuff as a kid and never quite getting everything to line up properly

Nope, to me it confirms that the tail part belongs to 253 which means we either have one very sick CASA still in BAL ( 253 ) and are using a dodgy CASA ( 252 ) which landed in Kerry earlier in the year too with smoke in the Cabin.

Both CASA's have been operating on a regular basis, I think the mis-match on the tail might be from the overhaul that they had in Spain....

Confirmed?

Unrelated to the earlier incident, but interesting nevertheless:
"(...) Three track-lines were completed with seven sightings including two fin whale sightings before a technical problem with the steering meant the Casa 252 had to return to Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel prematurely. This was an obvious disappointment but obviously if the aircraft is signalling a warning message this has to be fully respected.(...)"
Good to hear that they made it back safely.

CASA "Charlie 252" with a crew of six, made an emergency diversion and landing to Eglinton Airport in Derry today following an in-flight 'engine shutdown' in circumstances similar to Monday 22nd last. The aircraft was 3 hours into a routine maritime patrol when a warning light related to the aircraft's pneumatic (bleed air) system illuminated in the cockpit. The aircraft landed successfully at 1334hrs this afternoon. An Air Corps technical team is currently working to resolve the issue.

Love the photo. It looks like a couple of local mechanics have turned up in their beat up hatchback to fix it. I'm sure they are anything but that!
