That's why I do all my engine running from the cockpit these days!Motormouse wrote:Thats' why when doing a high power run no-one should stand in line with the rotating parts....

After seeing those photo's I was reminded of when we did high power runs on 707's. If the EPR needed adjusting at the part power position or at the T.O. position we had to walk up to the side of the engine at the applicable power setting and adjust the FCU.
I wonder if we could do that these days with H & S regs?
If God had meant us to fly, he would have given us tickets.

Hence why I thought it was GE or P&W... you wouldn't get RR doing that.andy wrote:You're OK with the home built, quality stuff. It's the imports you have to watch out for.thehappyotter wrote:I'm off to do some training at Rolls-Royce Hucknall tomorrow with work.

Ben.
Cant remember off hand without checking my book, but I think AA's 767's are CF6-80 equipped. To my knowledge, the only RR RB211-524 equipped 767's are British Airways'. They had initially troubles with long cracks being found in the pylons due to the fact that the RB211-524 weighs about 1 tonne more than the GE or P&W engines offered on the 767 :redface: All long since fixed now though
Oh dear Ben. Perhaps you should'nt of said that! (although I agree 100%!) I feel that Mr Trott will be coming this way..!Ben Watson wrote:Hence why I thought it was GE or P&W... you wouldn't get RR doing that.andy wrote:You're OK with the home built, quality stuff.

I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.
