GoAir flight G8-2506, an Airbus A320neo, returned to land at Mumbai Airport, India, due to high engine vibration while operating a scheduled flight Chandigarh.
The aircraft took off from Mumbai Airport and while climbing passing FL210, “Engine stall” and “High Engine Vibration” ECAM warning message triggered for engine no.1 (PW1127G) . The crew carried out the ECAM and QRH procedures. Due to engine vibration and fluctuating parameters, the crew decided to return to Mumbai and landed safely in Mumbai at 12:50 UTC.
On visual inspection of the rear side of the engine, almost all Low-Pressure Turbine (LPT) blades were found burnt and broken from the tip.
PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT
The incident was caused by failure of LPT 3rd stage blades in flight as the blade material lacked crack growth resistance and damage tolerance to withstand any impact from material that may have liberated upstream.
