Spicejet flight SG467, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, returned to Mumbai after the crew shut down an engine.
The No.2 engine oil filter bypass light illuminated during cruise flight, after which the engine was shut down.
The aircraft, VT-MXE, was operating its eighth flight after resuming commercial service following a long time storage. The aircraft had been stored since 13 March 2019 due to the worldwide grounding of all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft over safety concerns. India lifted the ban at the end of August 2021.
Probable Cause of the Incident
The root cause for Engine #2 EDP [Engine Driven Pump] overheat, which further led to EDP failure, could not be established due to supporting and refuting evidence identified for multiple failure modes during analysis.
