Sprint Air flight SAR7802, an ATR 72-202 (F), was in flight when there were successively: a fault in the electrical system, a fault in one of the channels of the two main on-board computers and a defect in the pressurization system (An Emergency Battery Fault, MFC 1B Failure and An Excess Cabin Altitude Signal).
After the third malfunction occurred, the crew decided to descend to a safe altitude and continue the flight to an alternate airport: Zagreb (ZAG). During the approach to the alternate airport, the crew noted a malfunction of the onboard radio, unstable operation of the drive unit, and a temporary loss of onboard instrument indications – EFIS. The aircraft safely landed at the alternate airport.
