A Transavia Airbus A321-200N, registration PH-YHZ performing flight
HV-6935 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Tirana (Albania), was climbing out of Amsterdam's runway 36C when the crew declared PAN PAN reporting an engine (Leap) failure. The crew levelled off at 3000 feet and entered a hold to work the checklists, the engine was shut down. In the meantime Amsterdam's birdwatch reported they had found a gear bolt on runway 36C. The crew therefore decided to have a low approach to have their gear checked for any missing wheel. The aircraft performed a low approach to runway 36C about 25 minutes after departure, ground observers reported one of the left main tyres looked as if it may have been partly deflated. The aircraft entered another hold to work checklists, then positioned for the approach to runway 36C again and landed safely about 50 minutes after departure.
The aircraft is still on the ground about 27 hours after landing.
