European jet manufacturer Airbus is drafting a world-wide safety warning about electrical problems that can temporarily shut off primary cockpit displays and computer controls on its single-aisle jetliners after a summer incident involving a British Midland International Airbus A321.
The harrowing incident, which occurred in August during a night flight from Khartoum, Sudan, to Beirut, also resulted in the twin-engine jet shuddering, banking steeply on its own and failing to respond to pilot commands over a period of several minutes, according to a report released last week by British accident investigators.
