An Austrian Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration OE-LAY performing flight
OS-73 from Vienna (Austria) to Montreal,QC (Canada), was enroute at FL300 about 60nm northwest of Vienna when the crew decided to return to Vienna due to a rudder ratio indication. The aircraft landed overweight but safely back on Vienna's runway 34 about 40 minutes after departure.
The aircraft remained on the ground for about 75 minutes, departed again and stopped the climb at FL190 when the rudder ratio indication re-occurred. The aircraft again returned to Vienna for a safe overweight landing on runway 34 about 35 minutes after second departure.
The rotation was subsequently cancelled.
The airline reported the aircraft returned after a fault message occurred. After a technical review the aircraft was again released for the flight, but needed to return again when the fault message re-occurred. The passengers on both flights to and from Montreal were rebooked onto other flights.
