SpiceJet flight SG3735, a DHC-8-402Q, landed safely at Hyderabad Airport after smoke was observed in the cabin during descent. Passengers were safely disembarked.
The aircraft took off from Goa Airport at 16:24 UTC. While cruising at FL210, the Lavatory Smoke Warning activated without any indications of smoke inside the lavatory. Later during descent, the cabin crew informed the PIC that the
cabin was filling with thick smoke. The flight crew declared MAYDAY.
Further an AFT Baggage smoke warning light illuminated during approach for which appropriate memory actions were carried out. The aircraft landed safely on Runway 09R and vacated via Rapid Exit Taxiway ‘L1’ and stopped on the taxiway. An evacuation was carried out on taxiway from all the exit doors i.e., L1, R1, L2 and R2. During evacuation, one passenger had a minor right knee injury. There was no fire. Later, the aircraft was towed to stand 44.
Probable Cause:
The incident occurred due to the failure of No. 3 Bearing Carbon Seal of ENG#1, which resulted in oil leaking into the gas path and smoke/fumes entering into the aircraft cabin through the bleed air system.
