Viscount Question.

Did a TR from EGPE to EGLL. No problems that I was aware of and followed the checklist. On landing and cut the throttles to slow down I lost the starboard inner. I know I must have done or not done something, but I cannot work out what. Any pointers in the right direction please?

Unlikely but possible I guess, did you check your fuel? It may have been coincidence that you ran out of fuel on that particular engine when you throttled down. I guess this can happen when you go back to tank-to-engine configuration again.(i.e, close the inter-engine cocks) and that particular engine was left low on fuel. Can this happen Fraser? I know the indications are just the total in all four divided by four, but the real amount is different? This is partly the reason why I start to balance the fuel from early on right after takeoff....

Hope this helps,
regards,
Macs :)

The only explanation I can think of is fuel, it's never happened to me before :dunno:

The tank contents indicators are accurate for each individual tank, it's only the counters on the flowmeters which are a division of the total.

I haven't had the problem again, so I reckon it must have been something I didn't do. If it happens again I will let byou know. Thanks for the input everybody.
