Global Aviation News Article
July 9, 2003
USA Today, "In-flight entertainment systems
linked to scores of jet 'difficulties'"
As
a Boeing 757 airliner climbed to 14,000 feet in March, a
routine takeoff suddenly became an emergency. Sparks and
smoke came out of the passenger cabin's in-flight entertainment
system, cockpit instrument lights lit up, and the rudder
and control wheel moved.
The pilots, who reported
the incident to a government safety database, said they returned for an "uneventful" landing.
The database doesn't identify the airline involved or the U.S. airport the flight
diverted to, but the timing of the event was significant.
It was the same month
the Canadian government concluded that entertainment system wiring may have caused
or contributed to a fire that sent a Swissair jet into the ocean near Nova Scotia
in 1998, killing all 229 aboard.
