Accidents and Incidents[]

On 28 February 2018, a SmartLynx Estonia Airbus A320-200 (registered ES-SAN) whilst operating for SmartLynx Estonia Flight 9001, was a training flight for 4 new student pilots. Aboard the flight was also an Instructor, a second pilot and a Civil Aviation Administration Inspector. The flight had to do 5 touch-and-go cycles and 2 full stop landings for each student. While one of the student pilots were controlling the aircraft, they lifted the joystick back, however the aircraft ceased to respond. It soon gained altitude and thereafter rapidly lost it and Engine #2 hit the runway and again gained altitude. The aircraft also was not responding to several flight inputs. Shortly after, Engine #2 flamed out and failed and during final approach Engine #1 also flamed out and failed. The safety pilot recognized the problem in time and the instructor took control from the trainee. The aircraft touched-down hard 150m from the runway. No one aboard was killed however there was severe damage to the aircraft that it was written off.[4]
