A CAA Compagnie Africaine Aviation Airbus A321-200, registration UR-CSU performing flight BU-321 from Kinshasa to Kisangani (DR Congo), was accelerating for takeoff from Kinshasa's runway 24 when just after reaching V1 the right hand engine's (CFM56) generator failed. The crew continued takeoff, climbed out and had just levelled off at enroute FL300 when the transformer rectifier TR2 also failed. The crew decided to return to Kinshasa where the aircraft landed safely on runway 24.
On Apr 15th 2021 Ukraine's NBAAI reported the right hand generator control unit GCU2 was replaced, the settings of the transformer TR2 were reset. After system checks the aircraft was returned to service.
