OK Guys:
Lets do this once more.
The three accident reports do not state that an unlocked primer caused the engine to stop. Except for report #2 which suggested that excessive fuel burn led to fuel exhaustion over a period of time not stated. The unlocked primer was noted as maybe a contributing factor to running out of fuel.
Report #3 is pure rubbish, just read the idiotic descriptions of the probable cause and check who wrote it.
Several 0f you claim an unlocked primer will cause a complete stoppage of the engine.
Please tell me when this has ever happened.
For what it is worth the last time I instructed at the PPL level was some time ago, however it seems to me that a lot of flying instructors make the most basic things into bigger issues than they really are.
Anyhow guys show me proof that an unlocked primer will cause a complete stoppage of an engine on these basic trainers.
