A Smartwings Boeing 737-800, registration OK-TVG performing flight
QS-2816 from Prague (Czech Republic) to Djerba (Tunisia), was enroute at FL350 about 110nm eastnortheast of Rome (Italy) when the crew decided to shut their left hand engine (CFM56) down due to oil quantity and pressure indications. The aircraft landed safely on Rome's runway 16L about 30 minutes later.
Czechia's UZPLN reported the crew received an ENG 1 LOW OIL QTY indication, checked the other parameters which were in normal range. However, some time later the crew observed the oil pressure was decreasing, therefore the crew then shut the engine down. Maintenance discovered an oil leak, a ruptured oil line, the oil line was replaced and the defective part sent for further analysis.
