The aircraft commander who was on flight AF 1983 from Prague-Ruzyně Airport (LKPR) to Paris Roissy – Charles de Gaulle Airport (LFPG) reported a failure on the right-hand engine after taking off from RWY 24 and asked for local alert and return to LKPR. The No.2 engine failure was confirmed on the ground and the AF 1983 flight was cancelled.
The causes
The likely cause of the failure was that clearance between the PS3 sensor hose and the starter lower air supply duct had not been adjusted properly when assembling the hose. That made the hose come in contact with the air tube during engine operation, leading to damage of the hose that was difficult to detect visually.
