146 Lockout
If you were to lockout a 146 engine, you locked out the fan, with a bar across the turbine, the core with a locking pin, disconnected the igniter boxes and took a lead off the start contactor.
The story that Mach refers to did happen, just a couple of wee details are different. The fan was locked, the core wasn’t, the igniters were not disconnected. So the core drove the fuel pumps etc, as it windmilled it pumped fuel into the combustor. I heard at the time the captain liked to keep all 4 throttles in a line like usual.
The rest of the story turned out just as Mach said…..
