American Airlines In-Flight Engine Shutdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Aviation Herald<\/em> reported the incident and stated,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

An Airbus A319-100 belonging to American Airlines, registered as N821AW<\/strong>, was in the midst of operating flight AA1182 from Memphis, Tennessee to Phoenix, Arizona (USA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During its ascent through flight level 330 (FL330) after taking off from Memphis, the flight crew received an indication of a stall in the right-hand engine (V2524). As a precautionary measure, they promptly shut down the affected engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to this situation, the aircraft executed a safe return to Memphis, where it landed on runway 36C approximately 50 minutes after departure. Emergency services were on standby to assess the aircraft, and subsequently, the aircraft was guided to the gate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
