Air Baltic A220 Engine Shut Down – Why Did It Happen?
Last week, an Air Baltic A220 crew had a dual engine shut down, when they landed. Why? A Mentour reader kindly gave us some key information! (mentourpilot.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
So the A220 safety system automatically kicked in on detection of engine issue before landing. Will be interesting to get more details on the engine issue.
Appreciated a lot how Mentour Pilot community handled this problem. Insightful info were published in progress, in a clean trustful way. Next step sholud be to understand what cause R THROTTLE FAIL warning in DSC. If this relates to FADEC beahving just after landing or not. Just to help pilots in the future.
I'm taking the whole story with a large pinch of salt.
I am an engineer and I find this article alarming. If I understand correctly, some modern jet engines are sufficiently prone to run-away that the aircraft in which they are mounted have an automated system to cope with the event. That system is only prevented from shutting both engines down in flight by a switch in the landing gear. Murphy is watching this balancing act with a smile on his face.
As I mentioned on a previous comment, on-ground is probably determined by multiple sensors, including altimeter and ground proximity sensors, not just the weight-on-wheels. The control laws are complex but exhaustively tested.
Unless someone pulls the QAR nobody will know how many over temps (hotstarts) were gotten’ away with?
I was referring to the days of ‘yore,
