Accidents and incidents

  • On 28 February 2018, a SmartLynx Estonia Airbus A320-200 (registered ES-SAN) whilst operating for SmartLynx Estonia Flight 9001, was a training flight for 4 new student pilots. Aboard the flight was also an Instructor, a second pilot and a Civil Aviation Administration Inspector. The flight had to do five touch-and-go cycles and two full-stop landings for each student. While one of the student pilots was controlling the aircraft, they lifted the joystick back; however, the aircraft ceased to respond. It soon gained altitude but thereafter rapidly lost elevation, and engine 2 hit the runway and again gained altitude. The aircraft also was not responding to several flight inputs. Shortly after, engine 2 flamed out and failed; and, during final approach, engine 1 also flamed out and failed. The safety pilot recognized the problem in time, and the instructor took control from the trainee. The aircraft touched down hard 150 metres (490 ft) from the runway. No one aboard was killed; however, there was severe damage to the aircraft, and it was subsequently written off.[5]
