This flight-test aircraft — designated MSN3 in Airbus’ numbering system — stopped over in the Middle East on its way to the Singapore Airshow.
Fuel imbalance
Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.
Enjoy!!
A small passenger jet was flying from Canada to USA. It had 84 people on board. While flying at FL300 about 100nm west of its airport of origin, the crew received a fuel imbalance warning. It indicated a loss of 500kg of fuel from the left tank. The crew thought that the loss of fuel was because of a fuel leak. They declared PAN PAN and returned to their airport of origin for a safe landing about 35 minutes after departure.
Maintenance found the problem and fixed it after the plane landed.
Important vocabulary: fuel imbalance, fuel leak, PAN PAN, airport of origin.

Hydraulic problem
Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.
Enjoy!!
An Embraer 145 was flying from Wichita to Kansas City (USA) with 48 people on board. It was cruising at FL310 when the crew noticed a hydraulic problem. At this time they were 58nm from Kansas City and decided to continue to Kansas as the weather conditions there were good.
The plane landed safely at Kansas City International airport 32 minutes later and came to a stop on the runway. The crew requested to be towed from the runway and as a result two other approaching planes were switched to an alternative runway. The plane was towed to a remote area to be checked by maintenance and the passengers were disembarked.
