First week at CBFS

Hmm, engine fire, very odd. Are engine fires built into the 748 panel or wherever they would be put? FlyNET will only fail the engine with a restart being impossible. Konny is unaware that his programming will cause a fire.

It's one I've not heard of before either John but I've not had an engine failure in the 748. I've not been aware of any inbuilt ability for the 748 to ignite either :think:

Hi guys

There's no inbuilt fire failure on any of my panels, so don't know what caused that

Did the fire lamp actually come on or could it have been the overheat lamp? If you fire the extinguisher shot the engine won't restart ;-)

Been putting fire bells in the latest ones to accompany the light too.

Ill post the screen I put up over at our place - full on engine fire - and the only reason I could think was Flynet
everything was running perfectly normal immeadiatly prior all of a sudden I had the TGT going off the clock and
the Torque dropping to zero and the RPMS running away - 5 secs after that I got a fire warning NOT an overheat
(I think Ive been flying the Budgie long enough to know the difference)

Exhibit 1




Exhibit 2



John as far as Konnys concerned I don't know - Ive had odd things happen whilst using the client before which he totally
denies - The aircraft in question was running at 99.8% on a less than ISA day on a route where it was almost 3500Kilos
below MTOW and this was 40 minutes into the flight

In real life I would have said it was a turbine failure as there was a sudden loss of torque accompanied by
an immeadiate raise in TGT and RPM.

In the end analysis as I said Frasers excellent checklist got me out of the brown and nasty

And just for S&Gs - Im aware what happens to a Dart when you shoot a bottle - same thing that happens to most
jet engines - they lose all interest in helping


Im curious now as if it wasnt Flynet and it wasnt me - WTF was it?

I feel so bad, I missed a flight today because Virgin Broadband had server problems in my area of East London. However, I was going to suggest could we not have a grovelling apology thread to make it easier for pilots to explain themselves, stickied so it stays within easy reach?? ;-)
