The other "classic" in the sim is - engine failure - FIRE indication on the remaining good engine - watch how many reach up to push the FIRE button without hesitation or thinking through the consequences and planning things a little better.[/QUOTE]
This one always gets me in the RFM. After securing the fire, return fire system switch to centre position so if there is a fire on the opposite side you can use the system on that side. Big choice removing both your engines (not saying it’s not ever appropriate)
That would be a bad day….
A seizing turbine section is a good failure in the Sim, I’ve seen plenty diagnose that wrong. Good engine looks like low side failure with bad engine taking the load, high ITT etc. N2 is the diagnostic tool
A lot been read into the initial comments by the Pilot. I personally take it with a grain of salt, memory is not reliable in high stress situations. Perhaps Turbine section has let go as N2 drops engine feeds more fuel to keep governed speed ITT/ToT climbs through the roof. Sounds perfectly feasible to me and turbine failure could explain the fire.
I know first hand and discussed with crew after a compressor failure aided by a rag, loud bang follow by very high ITT and secondary bangs pops.
Both loud bangs followed by multiple other bangs with high ITT. Very different failure points.
