thank you island pilot. I prefer the garret to the pratt turboprop
though I prefer pratt jets to anything! ;-)
one more thing...the metroliner doesn't have crossfeed for fuel...it has a simple ""crossflow"" system...I am wondering if the crossflow had been opened and one tank went dry in uncoordinated flight...
this has to do with the plumbing for the fuel system...crossfeed means you can get fuel from one tank to the opposite engine
crossflow means you can move fuel from one tank, via gravity to the lower tank.
its been awhile since I flew this POS, and I shake my head at all the systems and the damn CLICK CLACKS for those of you in the know.
