The left engine separated, and was 100 feet in front of the main wreckage. It turned freely when manually rotated
Well, it appears the evidence at this stage indicates the left engine may not have ingested any foreign object and in fact, may also contributed to an assymetric condition.
I have never flown a Citation, but will be commencing endorsement training shortly on a Citation II.
I have previously been told that the assymetric effect of an engine failure on a Citation or any bizjet with similar positioned engines is rather benign due to those positions. Could any Citation pilots confirm this please?
Also, are the NTSB reasonably timely with regard to the final analysis of their investigations, or do they take some time?
