Title: AAL669 Engine Failure at KPHL 080715
Post by: cptbrw on August 08, 2015, 04:01:34 PM
AAL669 suffered an engine failure on takeoff from KPHL.  Vectored for awhile to run some checklists and then returned for a normal landing about 30 minutes later.  Clip edited to relevant transmissions and quiet space removed.

Interestingly, this particular A320 airframe has seen its share of emergencies.  Since entering service with America West in 1999 it has either diverted or made emergency landings 9 times because of in-flight problems - none involved engine problems.  Unrelated to this particular incident but seems to have had more than its share of in-flight problems.
