The failed right-engine turbine blades bled thrust and left them two miles short
In this episode, we follow the nine minutes between takeoff and impact as two experienced pilots confront a sudden loss of right-engine power on a forty‑five‑year‑old Boeing 737‑200 over Māmala Bay. The episode lays out the aircraft, the crew, the early diagnostics and the cockpit decisions that defined their last chance to reach the runway.
Date: July 2, 2021
Aircraft: Boeing 737‑200 (N810TA)
Event: Controlled flight into water two miles short of runway
Crew: Captain Henry Okai (15,781 hrs), First Officer Gregory Ryan (5,272 hrs)
Engine: Pratt & Whitney JT8D‑9A right‑engine turbine blade failures
- Nine seconds after rotation the cockpit recorder captured a thud and immediate vibrations as the right engine began losing thrust.
- The right high‑pressure turbine blades showed oxidation, corrosion and stress fractures that caused progressive blade failure, not a sudden explosion.
- Both pilots correctly identified degraded right‑engine performance, then reduced power on both engines and leveled off at about 2,100 feet to assess.
- The flight was an eleven‑minute overnight cargo hop from Honolulu to Maui on an aging 1976 freighter operated by Transair/Rhoades Aviation.
- Maintenance records included two prior FAA Service Difficulty reports for the left engine in 2018 and 2019, entries that appear not to have been communicated to the crew before departure.
