Osaka-bound Jetstar 787 lost thrust in both engines
Japanese investigators are proving a loss of thrust in both engines on a Jetstar Boeing 787-8 during its approach to Osaka’s Kansai airport. The aircraft had departed Cairns on 29 March and was descending through 4,900m (16,100ft) at around 18:50 when the starboard engine’s indicated readings became “unstable”, says the Japan Transport Safety Board. The JTSB states, in a preliminary bulletin, that the thrust of the left-hand engine then “temporarily decreased” and that of the right-hand engine “also decreased”. This loss of thrust occurred when the aircraft was 90km south-west of Kansai at around 3,600m. Meteorological data for Kansai airport at the time shows good visibility and no significant weather conditions. None of the occupants of the 787 was injured.<br/>
