A319 Double Cowling Loss and Fire – AAIB Safety Recommendation Update
The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has issued an update on responses to their safety recommendations from their investigation into British Airways Airbus A319 G-EUOE. G-EUOE, powered by IAE V2500s, lost both engine fan cowlings and suffered an associated fire on take-off from London Heathrow on 24 May 2013 after cowlings were left unlatched after an ‘aircraft swap error’ during maintenance.
