The Big Secret
Okay, now lets get back to the matter at hand. What causes a modern turbine engine to lose power or flame out, during what we have to believe to be, an endorsement flight (2 POB, both pilots, no nav aid at Green Island). Now I am by no means a turbine guru, but I am assuming the following
1. Lack of fuel - Unlikely
2. Busted compressor blades - Maybe
3. Intentional shut down - Unlikely when 10nm out to sea
4. Some other weird sh1t - Maybe
5. Some other weird sh1t associated with an endorsement - More likely than "Maybe".
Now can someone tell me what weird sh1t can go wrong that would cause a permanent power loss, other than 1 to 3, that would be more likely during an endorsment flight.
