Cork crash plane had an engine fault

Posted: February 7, 2012

An interim report on last year’s fatal plane crash at Cork airport has revealed concerns with the engines of the aircraft.

6 people died when the the Manx2 commuter flight from Belfast came down nearly a year ago.

The Air Accident Investigation Unit says a test carried out on the aircraft found a “mismatch” in the torque being delivered from each of the two engines.

The tests also discovered an anomaly on sensors on engine number 2.

The initial investigation into the crash focused on weather conditions and poor visibility on the day the crash happened.

The final report into the crash is not yet complete.
