BA38s engines "Hesitated"
Dear Bernd and Airfoil,
Bernd, my engines also did spool-up a bit before before hesitating and starting to stall, then I throttled back and tried again and again it worked fourth time and took a minute or two.
Airfoil, when ice builds on a curved surface (rotor or stator blade) it sticks
to the most curved part first, that is on the back-side, since it is here the pressure (and hence the temperature) drops the most and it is damaging to the fine tuned aerodynamics of a compressor.
Frankly, I am not a professor in aerodynamics, but this is common sense and a bit of experience.
Have you any better explanation as to why BA38 landed short?
