Flight from Venice to Manchester diverted to Stansted after fuel leak.
Pilots were slow to diagnose a significant fuel leak from the right engine mid-flight.
KEY POINTS
- Pilots increased fire risk by using thrust reversers and not shutting down the leaking engine.
- The fuel leak caused a loss of about 100kg every 10 minutes from the right tank.
- Pilots performed fuel balancing from memory, delaying recognition of the leak and proper emergency response.
- The AAIB report found no safety recommendations were issued to Ryanair despite these procedural lapses.
