JetSMART flight JA650, an Airbus A320-271N, was en route at FL380 and 100 nautical miles west of the city of Iquique, when the aircraft's ECAM reported that the engine No. 2 (right) had low oil pressure and quantity. Later, the oil quantity reached 0.0, so the decision was taken to divert the flight to Iquique (SCDA).
The crew preceded to stop the no. 2 engine, declaring the emergency, and finally landed without further observations.
Cause:
Shutdown of engine No. 2 (right) in flight by the crew, due to total loss (leakage) of oil.
Contributing Factors:
Loose connection of the accessory gearbox (AGB) at the LP35/AGB interface with asymmetrical wear on the AGB housing and adapter mounting surfaces. The service bulletin for retightening the LP35/AGB connection had not been applied because at the time of the incident the engine was new and had not yet undergone review.
