Malindo Air flight OD1165 suffered an in-flight external engine fire after take-off.
After flap retraction climbing passing approximately 800 feet, an engine fire warning came on EWD. The flight crew carried out all the required procedures, discharged both fire extinguishers and requested for air turn back to PEN.
The aircraft safely landed at the airport. On landing it has been confirmed that there was no fire anymore. There were no passengers on board and the crew members disembarked safely with no injuries.
Probable Cause
The probable cause of the engine fire is due to the fuel leak from No. 3 fuel nozzle manifold ‘B’ nut.
