Engine Bearing Failure and Cabin Smoke Incident (VH-VFY)

Initial Indicators During Climb During the aircraft's climb, cabin crewmembers detected an initial odor. This was accompanied by an ENG 2 OIL FILTER CLOG ECAM message. The investigation indicated that these early signs likely resulted from the initial stages of a failure in the number 3 bearing. ## Progression of the Failure As the number 3 bearing continued to fail, smoke was observed in both the cabin and the flight deck. The eventual failure of the number 3 bearing led to a complete loss of power from the right engine. The sequence of events highlights the progression from early warning signs to a significant mechanical failure affecting the aircraft's propulsion system.
