Incidents

• On February 28, 2018, an Airbus A320-214 operated by SmartLynx Airlines Estonia ( aircraft registration ES-SAN ) suffered a failure of both engines and an extensive failure of the flight control on a training flight at Tallinn Airport ( Estonia ). In the case of a touch-and-go , the aircraft no longer responded to control commands, but took off anyway, only to hit the runway hard 200 meters before the end. Both engines were badly damaged; the machine rose again steeply and after a complete failure of the pitch control of all flight control computers (SEC and ELAC) could only be controlled by trimming the horizontal stabilizer. Engine 2 (right) began to burn. The aircraft climbed uncontrollably to an altitude of 480 meters (1590 feet) and then went into a dive, which could only be trimmed at 180 meters (596 feet) height. After reaching an altitude of 400 meters (1300 feet), the right engine failed completely, 20 seconds later the left engine also failed, followed by the normal power supply. Nevertheless, the pilots managed to crash-land in the snow to the left of the runway. All seven crew members, the only occupants, survived. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The main causes identified were a "weakness" in part of the flight control programming and another serious error in the logic of the SECs (Spoiler Elevator Computer).
