NetJets G VI emergency?

[ohplease!]

I heard from a friend about an incident last week involving a G VI near Fiji. Anyone know any details?

There is no such thing as a G-VI. At least, not yet.

Word on the street nothing but an Engine vibration. Engine just pulled back to idle and not shut down. Normal single engine landing. Maint. dispatched to recover the A/C.

through a friend of mine....the F/A reported smoke in cabin, one engine shut down and the other vibrating badly.

Another case of F/A over reaction maybe?


BTW, is there any way to edit the thread title?

I am good friends with the PIC on that Fiji Incident a/c....smoke and fumes at FL400...approx 400 miles North of Fiji....left engine had vibrations and was retarded to idle thrust...flight initially tried to divert to Wallis Island, but had to recover at Fiji...mechanics from Sydney found some scorched cross over valves/tubing the the aft section....engine was bore-scoped and nothing significant was found...a/c was ferried to LGB for further analysis...at the time of the incident the a/c had entered an area of "hot tower activity" and the SAT increased nearly 30 degrees in a very short span of time...icing was suspected, and anti-icing was applied....no change in engine response...vibrations on the left engine were causing the engine vibration monitor to trigger with any thrust level above idle thrust....

thanks for the info. Sounds very similar to what I had been told.
